9300 vs xps2. differences?

Thread Starter 
looking at the US site XPS2 and the Swedish 9300 page, what are the real differences? Hardware looks common to both. The only thing that seems special about the XPS2 is the cover and lights.

What else is there?

(btw, I spent only about a minute on each product)

enlighten me :P

IMO 9300 is a better machine in laptop standards.
IMO that is based on the UK DELL site.... hopefully the USA will have it soon, so i can BUY it. But I guess I'll wait until flippin APRIL... good lord.

The main difference will be price. The 9300 is supposed to have a base price of $1399.

Since they introduced the XPS2 before the 9300, I'm guessing it will be similar to what happened with the XPS and 9100, where the 9100 was a much better deal for nearly the same thing. Hopefully, the 9300 will be nearly identical to the XPS2, but be a bargain for those who don't mind having a feature or two below the "ultimate gaming laptop." Now all we can do is wait for 9300 pricing, although the xps2 isn't as high as I thought it would be.

look at the stock 6800 scores in the link below for the gddr3 6800 go and multiply them by 1.36 and that should be the maximum theoretical score the ultra should receive. but of course in real life, getting theoretical maximums is rare.

I didn't point out, I THEORETICISED. XPS2 and 9300 were released on the same date, practically at the same hour. Offshore does not have an xps laptop so releasing a xps2 would give nothing.

And remind yourself that the 9100 was about the equal of xps1 only with lacking gigabit stuff... rings any bells?
