Also, I really hope they plan on having more than one paint option on this thing..

Buy it for the holiday season and it will dub as a X-mas tree decoration .

Someone should tell this to the 12 yrs. old that designed it .]]>Aug 25th 2007 1:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/dells-xps-m1730-gets-more-specs-more-pics/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/dells-xps-m1730-gets-more-specs-more-pics/
That being said, this is the ugliest laptop known to man. Dell has become reeeeeal good at that over the last several years.

Thanks Dell, for seeing to it that you have absolutely NO one with any design sensibilities making decisions. Doh!

The XPS design is likely the result of a combination of things:
1) they wanted to get something out for the holidays and couldn't wait for the 'optimal' design
2) parts shortages i.e. no black-lit keyboard supplier (only white backlit keys)
3) an attempt to be "edgy" that might have backfired
4) ivory-tower-ism
5) malicious / incompetant focus group (a la Homer's car design)
6) maybe it really DOES look better in person. A big, steaming, heaping pile of better.

It had better!]]>Aug 25th 2007 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/dells-xps-m1730-gets-more-specs-more-pics/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/dells-xps-m1730-gets-more-specs-more-pics/

On or before Wednesday Midnight, if its not up then, then the other thing I've heard is true which is we have to wait till the last week of September. Companies with home PC agreement can order it starting today, private persons have to wait until the last week of September. Shipment is expected to be week 44. That the last week of October.
