    Hey everyone, just thought I'd mention this in case anyone is interested.

    Have been checking the Dell site daily for the last month or so, and yesterday, most of the pre-configured XPS 16s disappeared. I know there are plenty of ways to snoop around and find systems, but I'm talking about from the main laptop page, and then checking the "Studio XPS" box. Also, the only coupon/deal left expires tomorrow. Of course, who knows if it means anything, but it's the only significant change I've seen in the last month or so.

    I'm hoping it's GPU-related.

    Yeah, I know it's still there, like I said, this was just from the main laptop page, and then narrowing your selection by checking the Studio XPS box. Again, may mean nothing, but it was a change, and the coupons all still expire tomorrow.

    On the contrary, I hope it is delayed and they continue to replace our XPS with AW : p

    Yeah, some of them have been there forever, but at least when I go through the "studio xps" check-box, there are only two systems now, whereas for the last month or so there have been 5 I think. The configuration I was looking at for the last few weeks (it was an i7 for $1199) is gone.
