    The new XPS 1340 and 1640 laptops just appeared yesterday, and now (a mere day late) have been given the blessing of officialdom from Dell. Of course, we already knew all there was to know about them when it comes to specs, so rather more interesting is the first review of the bigger of the two, also called the XPS 16. The 2.4GHz machine scored high marks both when it comes to aesthetics and overall performance, but the thing got a little too hot for comfort, costs a good bit more than the competition, and those glossy screens are always controversial. Overall it sounds like a nice machine if you have the dough -- and don't mind a little glare. Read - New Dell XPS laptops confirmedRead - Dell XPS 1640 reviewed

  • XPS 1340 appears on Dell's website in name only

    It's just been a few short days since Dell's still unofficial Inspiron 1425 made an impromptu appearance on the company's website, but it doesn't look like the leaks are showing any signs of stopping just yet, with the also unannounced XPS 1340 now making its debut in an equally roundabout manner. Unfortunately, apart from the fact that it'll apparently have a 64GB SSD option, there aren't exactly many details to be found on the system, although it seems pretty safe to bet that it'll be an update of some sort to the popular XPS m1330. Unless, of course, Dell intends to make its line-up even more unnecessarily confusing, which is also a possibility.[Thanks, Omer]
