    I really wish there were a 14 inch XPS, I find the 13 inch screen small and graphic not as powerful, the 15" I think is too heavy. 14 inch would be PERFECT!

    It's unlikely, 13.3" notebooks seem to be there so they don't have to have both a 12" and 14" models.

    ya, but Dell won't get to boast or get to compare(or at least hint at) Dell M1330 vs Apple MBA....

    think 13.3" and a 15.3" XPS version is good.... i personally think 13.3" is a little small, but nothing says (semi)ultraportability + 22" LCD in dorm room...

    Yeah if you don't like the small size, you can always get a bigger external screen. Got a 32" LCD TV in my dorm room for movies. I also got a 22" LCD for gaming for just around $160.

    If they choose to go with a 16:9 AR with the M1340, I think that may be more to your liking. That's the supposed way as we think the next M1530 will be the M1640. No hard facts to back this up though.

    hahaha the 20" CRT TV probably consumes more electricity than the LCD TV which matters if you live in an apartment

    Its possible for Dell to do so, after all, Dell has been experimenting with random things like the XPS 2010. You never know unless Dell leaks something, which they havn't even done so for Montevina notebooks yet, so... lets wait a bit longer. :)
