    The Studio XPS 13 needs a refresh with the i5 cpus.. however the 16 is fine with the quad cores.

    but the graphics is a tad weak.. plus Dell keeps slashing features from the XPS 16 line, ie Bluray, Arctic White color casing, TV tuner, etc.

    Yeah its becoming like studios and also everything is being concentrated on dellalienware lol. Its sad what ever happened to the days of the m1710, m1730 and m2010 sheesh. Raw power man, wait until the refresh with the ati 5740.

    Well the XPS 1645 is due to have the Madison-XT - isn't that 5750 and 5770? Where did you hear about the 5740?

    Yeah my mistake but i did read about it here somewhere but just speculation it was. Its time to bring back the original xps gaming machines! The core i5 is amazing yes but i see that there were bsods when i was looking at them, I have a xps 1340 and its fine running hot right now though really hot.
