If it's new, then why is it running XP? And don't tell me cause vista blows, we all know it does. But it would make sense to advertise a NEW laptop with a NEW operating system
Newer isn't always better? Why would you think that?
I hear KDE4 performs better on equivalent hardware than KDE 3.5.8. FF3 is getting native theming which should improve performance by a ton... And now xorg-xserver is putting all their effort into making xorg.conf obsolete-- plus the fact that ati and intel have thrown their weight behind open source GPU drivers... Ubuntu Hardy should be awesome; the only thing holding Gutsy back was the old xorg it used and the ugly theme.
When I see a new release of something, I'm ecstatic.
Well I'm leaning toward being fake because not only does it show Luna window frames it has a Win98 taskbar. And the glare of the screen is wrong.
This picture appears to be a 90% successful photochop.
It is most likely an unbranded ODM prototype that wasn't turned on. Some eager beaver added a desktop image and created piss-poor glare to represent a lit display and slapped a Dell logo on there with an extra layer of light source to shine the logo. Also pay attention the the right bottom corner of the screen. The shadows don't line up along the right or bottom edges of the frame agains thte screen.
Engadget shouldn't put "leaked" when it's a fake. Usually Engadget discourages rumor-mongering. You guys know better.
Plus, I remember seeing an image of an Acer prototype like this about a year ago when LED backlighting was the big design buzz. Can't remember where it was but I'm sure someone else here will have a saved image or link to it.
I think I'm losing faith in Engadget here if they're going to start pushing out photochops from random forums as news.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I wouldn't mind XP though.

It is running XP because any good PC runs XP (well, at least me and my gaming PC)
Dell doesn't want to mar this wonderful machine with Vista...
It's also running an ancient version of Adobe Premiere, if anybody noticed.
