you really cannot eat the price that the m170 is going for right now. Expect the new XPS to be selling for much more.

too much for a lappy i itink.

especially when the 9400s go for 50% less, and have much of the same performance.

Just think when the new XPS comes out they might even be giving a better deal on the m170.

I'm kind of leaning that way too. I was told the new XPS will be around $4000 and that is a bit on the expensive side for me compared to what you can get now with the M170. Duo core is nice, 7900GTX is nice but it's still not 64Bit and not DX10 compliant so I might just go with the M170 bargain and switch when Vista has had a year to get stable and DX10 will be standard.

if you waited and you wanted the xps170 gen2 then you waited to long killer deal is gone [for now] i know dell outlet will get allot of new stock with people like me returning ones for the cheaper price they offered. then you can get a used one cheap

Dollar per unit performance, right before a new model is released (now) is the best time to buy. Unless of course you NEED the absolute best at all times.

I can wait a short time for the Duo 7900, but I can't wait for the DX10 compatible G80 which will be late fall or beyond. I expect that the next XPS will be out within first 2 weeks of May if not sooner based upon European releases. There are however good deals on the current XPS and I don't think that the gaming performance of the new machine will be significantly better, but the DUO will be a big help for multitasking. I returned an XPS about 6 months ago in part because the PM chip was not very snappy for multitasking and office work. I think that the newer XPS with DUO will solve that problem and be a little better for gaming.
