    So, tomorrow is September 21st, the long and most recently rumored date for the new XPS to come out.

    So the big question: Will it happen?

    According to the Dell IFR manual, it says release date is 9/21. That's not to say it won't be delayed, but that is the scheduled released date worldwide.

    Andrew says no, so I seriously doubt it will release tomorrow. Looks like it's delayed yet again.

    Where are you getting this information from?
    Last Engadget article states that it was "delayed" from Aug. 27 to Sept. 21.

    I guess we'll have to wait and see...

    They are probably waiting for the 8800m's before they release it, which will probably be at the end of the year

    Andrew,

    Since you know so much about the RTS for the 1730, why don't you share with us the actual date?

    You don't have to tell us the exact day, but more or less when it will come out... I understand that maybe they told you to keep it secret, but I don't see the reason why you shouldn't tell us if we still have to wait for some weeks...

    Please let us know if it will be coming out sometime THIS week. That information would be highly appretiated as I need to purchase a laptop as soon as possible for work, and I've been waiting on the release of this particular laptop.

    Thanks.

    Looks like the keyboard will be black!!
    and the pre-sale invite on dell.com/beast is erased
    which means that it will be released soon enough

    I got the invitation to order one yesterday in the email at 7:53AM Est. However, when configuring, there's no EDD listed.
