If they have to refresh specs, they shouldn't need to discontinue ordering parts, would it? Like the backlight keyboarding, what has it got to do with processors or any other components. Clearly they are going to stop production already. Something new with updated model architecture is replacing it.

Yea, maybe got new design of the XPS system.. But that's kinda a bit early though, considering it just release 2 months ago..

looks like the new version of xps 15 is coming soon. visit their website and you will know what i'm talking about. now they don't offer i7 processors anymore.

Wow you are right, they are sure stopping inventory. I was just messing around the configuration early this morning and they still had i-7. In fact, a friend placed an order midnight last night and still took the i7.

Something big is happening.

oh snap and my order of xps 14 just went to work in progress.. maybe just out of parts? (wishing it was the only reason they are removing it from the online store)

sorry to say but dell agent confirmed with me that they already discontinued the corei7 processors in XPS 15. Because they are launching new version with the latest new core i7 processors soon and its targeted on 15th march 2011.

yeah. just the processors are being discontinued. not the xps 14 and xps 15 itself. (which i thought was the case reading the chat log in the previous post).

good news as i was not really keen on getting sandybridge atm, wanted to allow the technology to mature a bit more before getting it.

March coming out but discontinuing 2 months earlier? What is Dell thinking?! Unless they release the SB earlier, XPS is gonna suffer much lower sales these 2 months.. Not only their competitors have much lower prices for i5-480m laptops now, XPS GpU also more inferior considering no more i7, u can't choose 435m

XPS 17 not gonna come to Malaysia... It's been in USA for a long time already.. Malaysia dun have market for 17 inchers, so not gonna see it here..

As far is I can see this is not Sandy Bridge (i7-xxxQM and not i7-YYYYQM), and still GT 4xxM graphics (new should be 5xxs), this is the old model (l501x).

sorry guys, i guess dell has change the specs since last few days coz i am certainly sure i saw intel i7 2720QM and u could upgrade it to 2820QM as well!!!! but now dell just show the 1st generation i7 for xps 17

obviously larger screen, FHD option, i7 processor and stuff like that. plus better GPU

Do we really have to wait till late March for XPS with SB? I was hoping early February like the XPS 17 with SB in USA.

Maybe that's what the Dell sales person wants us to think, so that we'd be impatient and just help them clear the current XPS stock? Hmm?

I think it would be march at least cause Dell probably wanna refresh it when all the other high end quad and dual core SB's come out... It's reasonable also considering the current XPS only came out in November... Refreshing specs so early, they would definitely gain losses
