    I was thinking the same thing when I saw that a few days ago...

    it's so FUGLY! White, on smoke? on bright as hell red!? and it's FAT! that thing is Chunky! I was hoping it would atleast bring the 8800mGT when I saw it, I guess not :( only the 8700GT

    My best guess is the 8700M Ultra (Super Idiotic Weird Naming Scheme)

    i was really looking forward to a nice new fresh look on the xps line- yes for 1330, hell no for 1730.........
    Maybe should just by the 1710 when the price really goes down, get the good looks- but the soon to be outdated non-upgradeable graphics card

    All new XPS- and Inspiron- laptops come with a wireless sniffer.

    This works even when the laptop is switched off. Pressing the button shows, if a detected network is in range.

    THAT IS SO KOOL
