    M11x to get upgraded to low voltage I-Cores less than 6 months after the M11x was introduced. Still no refresh of the XPS 13 in sight? If then can put arrandales into an 11.6" unit, they can figure out how to do it in a 13.3". Ya think?

    Dream specs:

    I5-540M - I7-620M
    HD 5650 (5670) or GT 335M
    4GB DDR3
    13" RGBLED

    I agree with you but remember the XPS 13 is also supposed to go through redesigning as well so maybe that is what is holding up the process.

    Ditto on your dream specs but would also include 500 gb to 640 gb HD, fingerprint reader, bluetooth, blu ray drive and a stable graphics card.

    Ditto, with a backlit keyboard, Optimus or switchable GPU, Bluetooth, WiDi, and 4-5 hrs of life...

    Post the link to the 11x news when you have a chance.
