New Dell xps 17(l721x)

Yup, but pretty much no one implements it on the hardware side. Meaning you can't actually use it...

 

They actually are. Clevo is using Optimus for a lot of their 600 series laptops, which they historically haven't done, so I'd say your chances are pretty good.

Odds are, the XPS 17 will be getting a 650M at most. The M17x ships by default with a 660M, and usually the XPS' highest level card is one below this, so it makes sense. I just hope it keeps the matte screen and good speakers and doesn't go the Macbook route...

 

I wouldn't mind a mac like design, if the mac had a windows version, I probably would have gotten that by now. I am not an apple fan, but I really like their design.

 

The GTX 660m chips are binned better than the GT 650m and GT 640m chips. Though they share the same GK107 core, the GTX 660m should achieve higher clocks GT 650m, which justifies the GTX branding as an "enthusiast" chip. The difference between the GTX 660m and GT 650m probably won't be all that significant, though.

 

Why is Dell taking so dang long to announce the XPS line ivy bridge refresh? Anyone know when they might announce it?

 

Some rumors are new XPS line will be available between 15-May to 15-June.

 

well its taking more time for me to waiting. i really can't wait anymore. i'm really curious for xps l721x. and anyway where do u know that xps will available on that date.

 

Those are rumors

HP has released DV6/DV7 with Ivy Bridge & new GPU's. So, Dell should not take too long from now.

Here is HP link.
$800-$1200 Laptops & Netbook PCs | HP Official Store

Best Regards

 

great to hear that. i hope i can get one once it's available.

 

So are you going to get a HP laptop now?

 

HP laptops are available now & you can order now.

Estimated delivery will be on 8th of May

 

I want it. but at least I must make comparison with dell, hp itself and asus. since this brand have some specialty for each of it.

 

Today's press release was useless. I thought they were going to announce updates to the XPS line but instead it was just the Alienware lineup. Seriously how many people buy Alienware compared to the XPS lineup. All the mid to high end i7 and i5 chips are available now for the XPS lineup so there should be no excuse.

Hopefully Dell releases the XPS refresh lineup in the next 2 weeks.

 

i think the xps design was being overhauled. which taking more time to wait. did u see any changes on alienware design. i guess no. since it just added with 4 usb 3.0 and no change in lid and finish. so that's why xps get special treatment for this. since most xps is multimedia and not as high end as alienware. dell try to make xps attractive so can compete with alienware sales. that's my opinion. hehe

 

anyway i just got email from dell chief blogger, Lionel Menchaca says:

Hey Prof.Dre:



Know you’ve been waiting for a while. Can’t give you specifics on timing, but there are a couple of new XPS laptops that are coming in a matter of weeks. In my personal opinion, these options are worth waiting a bit longer for.



Sincerely,

Lionel

 

Dr.Ndre:

Okay Great .

Waiting for XPS before finalizing DV7/Samsung/XPS

 

I just hope the XPS 17 doesn't go the XPS 15 route where the laptop is getting thinner and compromises it by removing the JBL subwoofer and ports in the back and who knows about removable battery or not. It just looks like the XPS 15 is trying to look like a MBP.

I actually like the current XPS 17 L702X design except the front speaker placement. If all they do in the L721X is move the front speakers to a more desirable location, then I would love it even more. All I really want Dell to do just put an Ivy Bridge processor, Geforce GT 650M graphics and the option for the Intel Wireless-N 6235 wireless card.

 

Just received a tweet back from @BillatDell and it looks like XPS laptop refreshes aren't coming until sometime in June =(.

@BillatDell Is the Dell press release on Monday morning going to cover information on the refresh of the 15 and 17 in XPS laptops?

@erichchan3 No. That will come in June sometime. Dates are fluid at this point, so I can't even give you a hint other than "June"

Check out the L521X Ivy Bridge thread starting with pg. 21 for comments and information from a Dell representative about the upcoming XPS laptops.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-xps-studio-xps/650572-new-dell-xps-l521x-ivy-bridge-21.html

 

the sources are really inconsistent. Bill says that Lionel says that. but i guess lionel is correct for sources. yeah we just hope for the best then. hehe

 

Anyway dell has launched dell xps 8500 series desktop.
This is the link:
Dell?s XPS 8500 Desktop: Power, Flexibility and Ivy Bridge Technology - Direct2Dell - Direct2Dell - Dell Community

 

Any news guys

 

According to the XPS15 topic, nothing will be released until some time in june si I guess you just have to be patient...

 

I think this option are the only one that I have to face as no option I have.

 

extra hint for dell xps l721x from lionel menchaca:

"Think thin, but not ultrabook. Think full-power laptops."

 

Think hot.. not warm, but hot.

And think noisy.. very noisy...

 

haha. are u waiting for this model too. ehhe

 

I think that the XPS is a direct competitor to the Samsung Series 7 17".
Except that the Samsung is already out and already looks great...

 

I think in term of speaker quality they used same brand but xps is more powerful than samsung if I could say. Hhe
And also the performance dell are much better than samsung since samsung are specialize in mobile phone instead of laptop

 

still thinking about buying the previous one (l702x)..

And I'm still afraid of its temperatures and noise..

 

L702x are interesting if i may say but if xps l721x provide better feature. why not. could be dell add IPS RGBLED Display to this model. let's see later

 

Guys do u have any news on xps l521x/l721x manual doc in pdf? And the new Inspiron already have its manual which is very shocking for us.

 

Guys do u have any news for the manual of this xps series or not?

 

The Samsung Series 7 17.3" has the i7-3615QM and the GT 650m w/ GDDR5. The XPS 17 refresh will probably have very similar specs. Build quality of both laptops will probably be similar as well.

The Inspiron refresh is already up on Dell's AU site and probably will be released very soon. I doubt that an XPS manual will be leaked anytime soon since it's slated for a later release, though a leak would be nice.

 

Yeah i hope eric dell blog will give more useful information to customer who wait this laptop also in this part xps 17 having supportive application from wavemaxx audio which is having better quality than samsubg series 7 chronos.

 

I never had any overheating and it wasnt that noisy.

 

I have a problem in deciding whether to buy asus n56vz or dell xps l721x. since i liked both of them. Which one is better? Give me the reasons of it.

 

Well since there aren't released specs yet for the l721x you are going to have to wait if you want a real answer and not conjecture.

 

well waiting is the most thing i hated. But at least i must make my decision ASAP. before I died without having anything. hehe

 

We all hate the wait game. I hear you there!

Imagine those of use that were waiting since December 2010 for the Sandy Bridge systems that were announced then and at CES 2011. They were to be available at the beginning of February, but at the last minute (I mean literally a couple days before they were supposed to be able to be purchased) there was a 2-month delay due to the chipset issue...

 

I know that and I hope this time the chipset issues won't occur in ivy bridge. And I confused in choosing a good multimedia laptop since they have their specialty between asus and dell.

 

What were the specs? i7 or 5? 3D?

 

He had the i7 non-3D. The only difference with 3D vs non though is that the GPU is on 24/7 with the 3D-only system. Doesn't change the temperatures under load. Which aren't an issue with the current gen (mine are within reason too).

 

If this is supposed to come out late summer like some rumors say they will, I will definitely buy another computer.

 

This my temps were within reason and was actually impressed as the gpu rarely hit the 80's even under load, the cpu did although it can easily withstand that.

 

FWIW, Dell-Bill in the 521x thread said mid-summer and commented that he considered us in early summer right now (hot in Texas ). Most things point toward late June/Early July right now. Still a bit of time out there, but still well in time for returning to school, which Dell (and Intel as they are the real hold-up) will definitely be wanting to be full in production for.

 

better tech system needs more time to wait longer. Honestly i want to buy dell xps l721x and it should be cheaper than buying asus which cost above $1800. and my budget is around $1500-1600

 

Well the IB laptop cpu's arent released till june the 3rd i believe so they'll have to obviously wait till then. But im guessing they must of done some IB testing with engineer samples.

 

Do u know the exact release date for this laptop? Since some of sources says it released 23rd April. But it is not correct. That's the problem.

 

I would say july personally but nobody knows for sure.
