Dell Studio XPS 13 and 16 - Coming Soon?

Yeps! I always use the 50 per page...Easier to see everything!

There are some nice other CP User Options, also!

Yeps, it was released this morning.

 

so January.....

Dell - welcome to hell.

But will they announce / present the new laptops this week/next week or not?

 

Bah...who cares about the 16...such an awkward number, between 15 and 17..

I am more interested in the 13 and hopefully that will be out soon.

 

16 is the new 15 and 18 is the new 17

 

...ok... qaz... I just want to clear up the air regarding Hybrid SLI.

Current operating systems do not support Hybrid SLI, SLI, Crossfire, or whatever NATIVELY. Microsoft is not and does not need to be responsible for including drivers in their OS for another company's products, in this case ATI and NVIDIA's GPUs.

It's far better this way since the companies themselves are responsible for making and updating the drivers rather than the OS providers.

I don't know about you, but I would rather NVIDIA be in charge of making updates for it's own hardware rather than relying on MS to do all their work for them.

 

Perhaps dell is waiting for CES 2009 and will introduce the new laptops there? early january, 8-11. Just a thought.

 

Wouldn't that be like suicide for dell?
Their xps line appears to be winding up (took long enough)
The two studio's they have, at best are describable as over- priced.

 

In any case I think Dell is doing a big mistake...

 

Just found this on infosync.com.
Theres a gallery of the 16". Its release it january it says.

lol. have a closer look at the date -> Release: January 2008.

 

...Wow... if the Studio XPS 16 comes in at 2k... I don't even want to know what the smaller 13 will come in at. >_<

EDIT:
givemanick, that's even worse. That means they were delayed for a year and not a couple months. lol.

 

Indeed.
I read that article three months ago - so there is nothing new about it. Unfortunately.

 

Ok...i have bought a Vaio Z21, i am disappointed by Dell

Sorry.

 

Thats a 1530 - looks the exact same, ports are all in the same place and not a hair is out of place - What they made 0.6 of an inch biggger and thats classified as a new laptop? please...

 

As I said: the link is outdated

 

omfg. didnt notice the date(again). lol
But it must be a typing mistake? They must have ment january 2009 in the article?

 

NO.. that was a prototype DELL XPS 16" shown at a show.. but it was scrapped due to these new designs.. forget that post its history.

 

No, that was a Dell concept NBR got hands on at some convention last year/early 2008.

That is not the final design, just a mockup as there were hardly any 16in back then.

 

The article was published in January 15th 2008, like 8 months before any details of new models from Dell came to light.

 

I would buy Sony Z, but price 3000$ is too much for me I am thinking about Macbook too, but still it's 2000$ in my country. I really don't understand why are things cheaper in USA when you get more money... My month pay is like 800$ even less...

 

i will wait till december, because today i saw the Sony Z, and it´s too big the screen.

will the new xps have 16´´ o 16:9??

 

the Sony Z has a big screen?! where u from? lol

the new XPS Line will have a 13" 16:10 and a 16" 16:9 i guess.

 

uuppps!!! it´s true!!!

i mean VGN-FW11J...jhejejejeje 16,4´´

 

ah ok.. yes the XPS 16 should have the same screen.. but note: its still uncertain about the availability of a XPS 15.

 

Jayson, Are we still expecting XPS 16" to start selling in November?

I have not read back the last few pages, but a few days back it felt like the XPS 16" had been delayed.... Is this still the case? As of today i have my money for my new laptop, I'm really wondering if leaving it another week will see any difference on the Dell side of things.

 

the sony fw runs on a ATI 3650 HD 512MB right? is it really that bad compared to the 9xxx series?

 

got news just busy downing the TIER 2 of Q4 roadmap.

 

hand it over!

 

lol.. they actually removed both studio XPS from the roadmap, even took off the starting point of the new Inspiron 15.. boo! i think you guys are calling in too much.

 

This is ridiculous... Dell... what are u doing?

 

I surely hope that the models will actually be released at all.

 

They will be.. i think they removed them from the roadmap probably because partners werent buying current XPS's .. well all we have to do is wait.. wait.. buy a hp.. wait.. wait.. buy a sony.. wait.. wait.. sell the hp or sony.. wait... buy a dell.

 

I'm gonna give it till december.... the promotions on the sony FW now are pretty amazing.... deck it almost all out for 1500 bucks... Jayson could u upload the roadmap?

 

Well, I will wait to January/February, because that's time when I wanna buy new notebook. When no Dell will be available, I will go to Macbook :/ or some Fujitsu Lifebook.

 

i would wanna try till january too but i'm worried about the promotions...

 

I think that Jayson is just pulling our leg... right Jayson? Sigh, maybe just wishful thinking on my part...

 

come on!!!!

 

nop... not pulling sh** ... serious.. i think the callcentre had to many QUERIES about these new XPS's lol.. probably they want launch cause of you guys!

 

give us infooo!!

please!!

 

still 7 days left on the American site for XPS sales... :S

Please come out, or I will end up getting the new MacBookPro

 

I am in the same situation as you - I really dislike OS X but I was going to get MBP so that I can get the backlit keyboard and hybrid graphics card. If the Dell doesn't become available soon then it's the MBP by default.

I wish I could get something else but those are my only 2 options.

 

When one sale ends another begins. Stop saying that the sales will mark a new laptop or there would be over 50 laptops released each year by Dell.

 

Quoted for truth.

 

I'd have to admit that this development tends towards being unsatisfactory.

 

I have to agree.
I was really hoping for Dell to get their act together and give us some solid details on the XPS's during this week, I'm still hoping for the next week, but my gut tells me it might be hopeless. I'm really dissapointed with Dell and they should be dissapointed in them selves because waiting so long with the new XPS's, can't be good for them.
I'm willing to wait til beginning of December, then I have to trade in my old Toshiba Satellite... if no new XPS by then, I'm gonna have to start looking around...

 

Well....I think I'm going to have to go another route because looking at the XPS and the coupon expiring on 10 Dec 08, that probably means nothing till January because the turn around time and getting packages to people might be a problem.

Although I believe it to be a bad decision, I think Dell doesn't want a flood of sales before Christmas with all the cutbacks maybe because it might slow down orders as some people might expect their computer before Christmas.

Who knows but again, I don't know if I can wait that long for another system. I plan on buying 2 but I really would like to have the 9600 video card, Montevino chipset and backlit keyboard.

And thus my dilema with Apple because they have all of that. Hmm...c'mon Dell - at least introduce your product.

 

I agree. They at least should make an announcement to let us know, when and what they're planning with the XPS's.. if at all.

 

I was in dell showroom yesterday again... and spoke with the guy from there... The new studio xps line is ready to be released because its development has already finished... And he said that he dont know what is dell waiting for... Probably stock issues of m1530 and m1330... And another important point.. He did say that new xps will go down with performance and also with design(including materials). As dell is owner of alienware they want to keep hands off the consumers line and focus on bussiness line... So good question is if it is worth waiting for this new XPS or rather get some notebook from other brand...
