    As the title suggests, why don't dell do a 15.4 XPS laptop? I looked at the 1520 and specced it up with a 8600GT etc etc, which you could argue fills the spot, but it is just soooo ugly. Not to menion bulky and heavy.

    On the contrary, they're planning to release one in the relatively near future. Do a search for the m1530.

    Thanks, just did a quick search, according to the leaked info the GPUs will be either 8400/8600GS. That seems a little disappointing, i thought they would at least have had a 8600GT.
