    Any news about the M70 getting an upgraded GPU with the release of the new XPS line?

    ok, GPU? sorry, but I do know they are exactly the same as the gen 2, but they have the newer video card at an option. :budget:



    EDIT
    do you mean M170?

    No, he means the M70, Dell's 15 inch workstation, not the M170. Nvidia might be upgrading their mobile workstation line around november, so if the M70 is getting a GPU upgrade, it will probably be then.

    Yeah, Fender got what I meant. November, huh? I guess I can hold off until then.

    Thanks!

    The Go1400 in the M70 is still the top CAD mobile graphics gpu available. The new 7800 line is a gaming gpu that fits in well with the requirements of the XPS line of gaming notebooks.

    There are a few M70s on Dell's Outlet site for $1400 and $1225. Those are awfully tempting prices.

    Thanks for your answers to my PM, Ant!
