    When I click the banner it takes me to a page that talks about World of Warcraft
    Linky

    I agree with XPSdaBest, It is prolly the XPS M1530

    Wow, sounds like a surprise is coming in. Possibly 8800m GTX in this?

    WoW: The Burning Crusade had that as the teaser slogan. The graphics are also definitely from WoW. What relevance that has to the XPS, I can't say.

    Okay, thanks for the help, I think lowlymarine nailed it. Something to do with WoW. It's not the M1530, that's being released - umm -- I can't say, but very, very, very soon. cough.

    I think it may be the 1530 because it has XPS below the dude with the sword

    Its the 1530. I was building an Inspiron with a dell rep, I asked about when the new 8000 series graphics cards would be released in Dell's laptops. He told me about a "certain" new XPS notebook. He couldn't name it without breaking policy, but I said that it was the 1530 and he replied with a yes. He said it would come out in the middle of December, like the teaser says.

    I appears to me to be some sort of warcraft branded dell machine about to come out.

    Would be weird to me if they branded the xps m1530 with warcraft pictures.

    I heard warcraft was coming out with another expansion for WoW. I'm not so sure but maybe.

    Wait, so according to your phonecall there'll be an 8800m in the 1530?!?! That'd melt the laptop in a second, there's no way!

    It seems you can click on the banner and sign up for "the quest" and unlock the wallpapers.

    I doubt Dell would put 8800m in a 15inch so soon... that would kill the M1730.

    Maybe 8800M GTX SLI upgrade for the M1730? But that shouldn´t be so secret if that was the case.

    I hope not. That means that they will chuck out the 7950/7900 and put in an 8700. Yay? :/ They could include an 8800 GTS/GTX..... that would be good. But then the 1710 would be better than the 1730. So they would have to stick 2x 8800's in the M1730. That means they need 2x the stock for each laptop and i hear its pretty limited right now (hence why everyone is near December/January for ship dates on laptops including the 8800).

    A 88oogtx in the 1710 would be friggin' sweet! But your right, it would be too much work on their part :mad:
