    IMO, not likely going to happen. Dell killed all of the current m17x r3 orders and removed it from the alienware website. Most likely a cause of the sandy chipset flaw. I doubt they will take the risk to sell more laptops with faulty chipsets.

    Or were, now it's delayed. I'm sure you can still find the XPS 14 on the outlet.

    Just talked with a Dell rep and they said they don't have any information on why it's gone. :S

    If you really want to order one right now, you can access it from the "for small and medium business" tab, and then click on "Inspiron and Studio Laptops". Though the options are very limited.
