I've seen the rumored specs of the new XPS M1530 coming on November 7. This laptop is aimed partially/mostly people that works with 3d, video or gamers. If the specs are as follows:
# 15.40-inch display (CCFL up to 1680 x 1050, LED up to 1440 x 900)
# Core 2 Duo options from 1.5GHz (T5250) up to 2.6GHz (T7800)
# Crestline GM/PM 965 chipset with up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
# GeForce 8400M or 8600M GS options (up to 256MB)
# Slot-loading Blu-ray / 8x DVD±RW
# Options for 802.11a/b/g/n, WWAN, Bluetooth
# HDMI, VGA, 1394, ExpressCard, (3) USB 2.0, Ethernet, fingerprint reader, media reader
# 2.0 megapixel (with CCFL) or 300k (with LED) cameras
# Weight supposedly 4 pounds to start
I think that, even optional, the video card MUST be a:
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256MB GDDR3
If not, it will be just an Inspiron 1520 with HDMI and fingerprint reader in a different case.
