    I'm just wondering whether to buy a replacement Dell L702X now for the one I returned or wait a few weeks when they hopefuly upgrade them all. What do you guys think?

    The next major chipset/CPU upgrade would be Ivy Bridge which isn't due till around April last I heard.

    Hm so you don't think they will bump up the processors in the current range of laptops they offer. Most manufacturers do this don't they like start of with i5 then i7 then maybe a top end i7 just before they release the next gen processors?

    Haha I wrote Dell UK and then tried to delete

    Dell added new i7 processor choices just two or three months ago.
