    Since this is the only thing that really is a factor for me in buying a laptop I wanted to know when people think Montevina will come to the XPS line. What would you want in an XPS with Montevina (assuming XPS line stays) and when do you think it'll be out. Since the leak of the Studio isn't official and anyone with photoshop or even just powerpoint could have made that lets keep that out of this thread.

    My guess on Montevina coming to the XPS line is late October/Early November in time for the Christmas season since people love to release things for a certain "season".

    Probably nothing extremely new will be on it except maybe some of the features from the Latitude Montevina such as the quick boot to boot into a linux based thing (it's name escapes me) that allows for basic computing functions. Also backlit keyboard (dunno why real gamers need this since I assume we all would know where the keys are by now) and maybe a bigger touchpad. Hopefully the design changes will just enhance the current design with nicer materials and such.
