    For all those waiting for the new 1730, heres quoted from engadget.

    "We can't ever guarantee launch dates on an unannounced product, but it looks like Dell's internal shipment date for the new XPS M1730 just slipped, and has been pushed back to September 21st for the US, Europe, and Asia.

    * Single or SLI 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 8700M GT
    * Regular and SSD drive options

    Well engadget has always said 8700's its just rumored to have 8800's. It's possible you will be able to choose from both.

    Well I believe that new Toshiba is confirmed to be packing single or dual 8800s so I'm guessing Dell is definitely going to have 8800s in this machine.
