    I'm just wondering, does anybody know or have any predictions as to what will happen to the Inspiron XPS when the 9300 comes out. I mean the 9300 will beat it in almost everything: GPU, weight/portability, DDR2, 4 usbs, vga/dvi, its pretty much a smaller yet better version of the XPS. The only thing the XPS has that is better is the 3.4 ghz p4 (or Extreme Edition), but still, it wont be as good. Hmm?[?]

    Good question. It seems the XPS is going to offer less value once the 9300 is out. As for a release, I'd look to February. The video cards are the hangup right now.

    yea, I just hope they offer the MRX800 also, and if they were smart, give the XPS the same stuff the alienware 7700 and the sager 9860 or whatever its called has.
