    I'm leaving Ohio on the 23rd thats this Sunday coming to go to Miami for a cruise. I will be back in town on the following Saturday on the 29th.

    My question is do you think if I put in the order for a XPS 15 with the upgraded cpu on Sunday morning before I leave on the plane Sunday afternoon. That I'll get it on the following week ? See the thing is I want to be at the house when it get there. So for example I get back on the Saturday on the 29th I want it on the following week starting Monday the 31st. Fedex does not deliver on Saturday nor Sunday right ? So what are the odds I get it on the following week if I order it on Sunday ? Hope I don't sound confusing. thanks

    I'd wait. The new XPS-es are planned for February.

    My budget is $900 without taxes thats it. So I really doubt they will sell the XPS 15 for $900. Now do really think the XPS 15 with SB will sell for $900 or less ? I don't think so. So why wait ?

    So what about my orginal question ?

    Prices shouldn't increase much with the new SB XPSs. If anything, the current models will drop in price.

    yeah, it sucks to wait...

    but i agree with everyone because the release date for the L502X is so close. based on the preliminary reviews, SB performance increase is definitely worth the wait. the laptop shouldn't cost more than it does now since the whole sale cost of the cpu is very similar.
