Don't you think it's possible to say you don't like something without trashing an entire country?

@mick4394
Just don't take things too seriously. God bless the American market. Do you feel better now? -
Well, props to Jayson. Though it seems Dell probably goofed up somewhere in development. It is nice to see the Studio XPS 13 as they promised.
A shame I've already moved on. Then again, without specs... a nice casing isn't going to sell me.
I really don't like that glossy finish. I'm like... anal about fingerprints. >_< -
-
I'm a little bit deceived, it's at least as thick as the old xp, with half cm less it would have been awesome.
Maybe I'm too suspicious, but I still doubt that all the specs, posted in Jayson's slides are going to be in this laptop, maybe I'm wrong about waht a "edge to edge glass floating display" is but in this pics I see a ordinary tft, nothing special.But still, do you think a sli can fit inside that little thing?
About the design I just have to say that is way better than the last xps, it could have been better but is definetely above the average. -
I don't know... maybe the pictures are a little deceiving, and it will be much thinner looking in person. -
For example:
Macbook air, very thin, max CPU = 1.8Ghz. (with lower TDP)
Sony Z, quite thick, can handle 3.0Ghz CPU. (with higher TDP)
So a thinner laptop would be nice, but it's also more prone to overheating problems. -
-
I think Dell may have learned from their mistakes. -
-
So how are they going to deal with the Adamo? from the engadget post it's supposed to be the world thinnest. I'm guessing we'll see sub-par performance parts on it? I guess that's why it's not thin + fastest.
-

-
It may have similar CPUs as Macbook Air. So that would be 1.86 SL9400 afaik. -
When Is Ces 09'?
-
Probably these chips
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...8low-voltage.2C_45_nm.2C_Small_Form_Factor.29
Looks like they are trying for a Voodoo Envy type notebook and not so much midrange. -
January 8-11. -
So when are these coming out?
at CES?
I want one. -
Engadget thinks February. They were supposed to be here in December, but got delayed. Probably introduced at CES.
-
it looks to me like engadget is saying february for adamo, but they don't really say when for the studio xps
-
Adamo: february
XPS Studio: no info -
It's the same thing.
-
Just another observation regarding the actual name "Studio XPS"
1. On picture 6 and 12 you clearly can see "XPS" written on side of the hinge.
2. picture 8: on the left side (middle) you again can see "XPS"
So, is it a "pure" XPS? I don't think so:
3. Same picture at the bottom: STUDIO is written in tiny letters.
So, seems to be the long awaited "Studio XPS". -
Been following these 'xps studio' threads silently since the beginning, and it's great to finally see something that looks like it actually will be released.
Sadly I have no interest in a 13inch so really hope some info will come out on the 16inch or even a new 15inch...
I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the Studio 15 but now I think it may be worth a wait. The Studio 15 is almost perfect for me (LED Backlit, Backlit Keyboard, 9 Cell option that works, P8600)- if only it had a slightly better GPU, even the ATI 3650.
My trusty HP DV1348AP will just have to keep me going until I move myself back home to Aussieland, then hopefully by the end of Jan '09 I can get me a Studio XPS 15, or 16incher.
Anyway I think it looks great, would be nice to get some specs and a price though..
The wait continues... -
This XPS 13 is absolutely beautiful. Exactly what I've been waiting for! I'm glad the wait was worth it. Now, give us the specs!

Jayayess1190 Waiting on Intel Cannonlake
It looks widescreen, is it? Where are the media controls?
And what does the right arrow do in this photo?: http://www.engadget.com/photos/dell...ed-laptop-revealed-adamo-info-leaked/1234533/
The bottom looks like it will be hard to upgrade. -
the adamo is the ultra thin macbook air competitor
not the same as the two xps studio notebooks -
-
Also It does not look widescreen (as in 16:9) to me, look at the SONY Z to see how wide it is:

Just look at the side edges how thin they are! -
Actually... I'm pretty impressed with the slot loading drive.
I'm more curious about the weight. I would like to see Dell release it at 4 lbs flat w/ expanded battery. That'd be great. -
-
just like many of you, i too was waiting all from august to dis december.
i contacted dell personel two weeks back and enqiured about studio xps. at first he didn't say anything only told me that studio and xps are only available. when i stressed word studio xps and said iam intended to buy that only, he left phone lokked at somwhere and came back and told me that it will be released in 2 months!!!
well hooray!! my waiting is finally over!! now that its design is leaked, i love morethan earlier!! i only intend to buy 16 and not 13!!!
i think it will released in CES jan (from jan 8)!!!
-
so no one has any info on possible release dates?
and don't say engadget said february, because they didn't -
-
Hmmm, only 2 USB ports? And one of them is shared with eSATA, so that makes ONLY ONE standalone USB2 port.
Without a solid Docking Station this laptop si so useless, bad design move by choosing DisplayPort + HDMI in favor of USB2 ports.
-
I hope they will release it soon (waiting since august) and i need to replace my old laptop
But i like the design i think it was worth waiting for it -
So... this will be called "Studio XPS 1340" ?
That is what i see on the bottom pic. -
-
-
Jayson said before January. Probably about right if the other thing is coming out in February.
-
-
I found an "easter egg", well, it's obvious anyways. Look at the pic that shows the bottom of the notebook. See lots of "X" vents all over. Look at the far left, in the middle, the vents nicely spell "XPS", hehehe!
-
-
Those are slick looking notebooks. I may just have to get one
-
-
-
Personally, I don't care what side it's on, as long as it's on the same side as the NIC. I prefer to have all of my cords coming out of the same side, when it's on my desk at work. -
jayson, could you tell us something about the specs?
-
-
I went to the dell > home laptops page to configure a xps m1530 and noticed that it is no longer there. The m1330 is there, but the next option is Studio XPS 13. No sign of a Studio xps 15/16. I clicked the link but the page doesn't go anywhere yet. Strange that the site would be changed this early if the laptop wont be released for two months. The m1330 came out way before the m1530 didnt it? Maybe the studio xps will work the same way.
Studio XPS 13
Screen Size: 13.3"
Starting Weight: 4.85lbs.
Starting Price $1,406
Dell Studio XPS 1340/1640 now available for purchase on Dell's site !!!
