XPS Centrino 2 Laptops?
Hi,
is there no sign yet of the Centrino 2 refresh of the XPS Laptop line?
HP and Toshiba, Acer, etc already have theirs out!
Do you think Dell will release in the next month before I have to buy a new one, or shall I spend my money elsewhere?
thanks
Philip

Here's my 2 cents.
You can go ahead and buy the XPS laptop right now... they do have real sweet deals going on....
The Centrino 2 will probably be released in the last week of July... sometime after 25th - 26th.... and the performance and tech changes are NOT going to be significant at all. But still ,if you like them, you can always invoke the 30 days no questions asked return policy from dell... get a full refund or credit towards the new system.... and configure yourself another.

Dell hasn't made any announcements yet - no doubt the systems will come. Whether there'll be a high-end XPS replacement is open to question; rumors say the M1730 is the end of the line, and that Alienware will take over the high end gaming niche from the top-level XPS.

Thanks,
It's not just the Centrino 2 and the new chipset, but also the faster memory, possibility of Blue Ray drives, better HDD and the 256MB Video card (in the 13inch XPS Laptop) etc that I'm waiting for.
Plus most of the good deals in the UK and EU have ended.
cheers
