    Its looks a little like the inital "leaked" pictures but the keyboard seems different. Hopefully the "leaked" images were either false, old, or inaccurate because I would love to have a portable xps as an alternative to a macbook.

    It looks quite good, but it wouldnt be cheap if it uses 256GB SSD and you would not have 4 cores also. I probably will choose for powerful XPS15 L502x then.... thanks.....

    It would make more sense for Dell to have the following product line:

    11" and 13" - L111, L311 --> essentially very slim and light notebooks with not much bang. Most people don't really need much power in this size
    13", 15" and 17" ---> L302, L502, L702 ---> the middle range

    A 15" L511 does not make much sense as it will either eat away the buyers from the L502 (if its powerful enough) or won't find any...(if it is not powerful enough)

    It seems they are not going to put Quad cores CPU in L511z according to the source, only i5-2410M, i7-2620M, which are dual cores (heat issue ?). Now I am struggling to choose whether to have a thin dual cores or thick quad cores... But anyway, needs to see what come up.... cant wait....

    I've been holding out for a thin and powerful notebook with a 1080P panel. Looks like I'll need to wait to see if the Vaio Z will be able to engineer in a quad core cpu.
