    Just randomly on Dnll today and say the 14in XPS and its looks dang nice. have there been any reviews yet? Google isn't helping.

    Anyone happen to know the LCD resolution? Looks like it will be a nice contender with the HP ENVY14.

    On paper the 14" XPS looks promising.

    Bluetooth 3.0, eSATA, SPDIF, DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4 (with Ethernet Channel????)

    And an Nvidia GT425M supporting DirectX11, GPU acceleration and 3D Blu-ray movie/gaming (if the specs are to be believed)

    But still using USB 2.0 and only WLED TL (1366x768) 720p.

    However the pluses out weight the minuses in my big book of everything.

    Makes my Alienware M11x look soooo yesterday.

    I was waiting for this new XPS too, but disappointed with their week graphics :(. I do not understand how could they screw up that so badly. no question From now, I'll go with HP Envy14.
