    Hey guys it's just been posted on the Dell blog: there are links to the product pages for the new XPS 12 Duo and XPS One 27, and the (finally) updated XPS 13 ultrabook, and you can pre-order right now.

    Unfortunately, it's USA only at the moment, so I've got to wait a little longer (in Australia). But it's nice to finally have a look at the specs and prices on these machines. I'm sure that we'll soon see more options become available for customisation, but maybe not as much as we're used to. The XPS 13 hasn't really allowed for much customisation so far, and I don't expect that will change. I've had my eye on it for a while and may finally take the plunge now that they've taken the long overdue step of jumping to Ivy Bridge.

    I'm really curious to try out the XPS 12 Duo too, that could be a brilliant little device. If only it had pen recognition. I'll also be looking forward to the promised Latitude updates. I'm interested to see if there's an XT3 update because I'm wanting to use pen input on my next laptop. A windows 8 machine with touch and pen would be awesome (well I'm hoping so). Too many laptops to spend my money on! LOL

    Anyways, here's the link to the blog, enjoy!
