A friend just pointed out Dell have "new XPS" machines on their web site.
Spec'd one up - unfortunately I couldn't justify another laptop right
now so didn't click buy. :(
New XPS 17" looks like a nice machine. i7 4C/8T + 8Gb ram (can go up
to 12Gb), 2 drives (can even config with dual 256Gb SSD's but
aftermarket is cheaper) and 1920x1080 screen (can get with 3D but I
think that's silly for a laptop. Maybe when you don't need glasses for
em) and 3GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M With Optimus.
All that for $3200ish. That's $1000 less than I paid for my m1730
years ago. Way thinner too!
2 x usb 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0 and 1 eSata.
Width: 16.3" (414.9mm)
Height: 1.3" (32.8mm) front . 1.5" (38.5mm) back
Depth: 11.3" (287.3mm)
Weight: Starting at 3.36kg / 7.41lbs (with 6-cell battery); 3.53kg/
7.79lbs (wtih 9-cell battery)
*sighs*

Apologies for asking about laptops once again, I know this comes up
lots on this list.
I'm looking for a small laptop for occasional .net development and
demonstrations of web apps mostly, something light and between 10 and
12 inches, maybe 13 inches not sure.
Alienware M11x is one that has the grunt but its pricey. Any
recommendations?
Cheers
