    When do you think the Inspiron (and XPS) line will be upgraded this year?

    I am referring mainly to GPU. The 750M was a nice chip in its day, but is now by far outclassed by the new 850M/860M GDDR5. I am thinking that this year the lines really need to be upgraded to a minimum of 850M in order to stay competitive.

    So, when do you think the new refresh will come? :)

    I doubt it will be refreshed until Broadwell releases... sometime in the fall?

    Shame, if I were Dell I think I would try and hurry a refresh sooner than that and at least shoe-horn some 850M DDR5's in there. Oh well, it's only a few more months I guess...
