    Does anyone think the XPS 15 sandy bridge models will cost more than the current XPS 15 model? With my corporate discount, I can get the current model below for $906. I'm considering waiting til March for the SB model, but don't' want to wait if they're going to be more than the current model.

    Most likely, yes.

    Probably not. More likely, the current XPS models will drop in price.

    There's no way you'll get the SB equivalent of that for $906.
