Just for fun I went to configure 9300's on both the Australian and the UK websites and it was available with the 2.13ghz processor on both sites. Wonder why we can't get it here in the US?

UK has the XPS2 as well so that's not it.

Because in the UK, the price differences between an XPS2 and i9300 both with 2.13 GHz processors would be significantly different to justify the inclusion of the 770 processor in the i9300. The prices may be too close in the US, which will hurt XPS2 sales.

when xps2 will be available in uk perhaps things changes, but today I think that the reason is add exclusiveness to xps2 (best processor for best laptop).

Its likely nothing but a supply issue. The supply is allows limited on the top speed processors and if Dell were to offer it on the I9300 in the US the demand would be to high.

Then you price it accordingly I myself wouldn't pay anywhere near what they are asking to upgrade on the XPS 2....was hard enough for me to make that $130 jump to the 2.0 on the 9300 I ordered.

This is good for us to know so that we could upgrade sometime in the future!
