    Anyone know if Dell is going to come out with an XPS laptop with a 15.4" screen and a 8600GT in the future? Actually, the XPS 1330 is almost perfect, but it's lack of a better video card turns me off... anyone know of anything on the horizon?

    Dell has not announced anything about a 15.4" XPS. However, the 1730 XPS is coming out soon with the ability to SLI 8700m GTs.

    Dell already has a 15.4" laptop with a 8600GT. Its called the Inspiron 1520 and Vostro 1500.

    Yeah, but neither the Inspiron nor the Vostro have HDMI out, which I *really* want in my next laptop. And, I don't want a huge laptop (17" out of the question...)
