    Other than the M1730, theres no Santa Rosa for a Dell 17" notebook. There are plenty of other gaming notebooks on the market, that are as good, if not better than the XPS M1710 anyway, so you may want to consider them if you are after such a notebook.

    If you are going to spend a little fortune on an XPS gaming notebook from DELL, then wait for the M1730. Few more weeks is definitely worth the platform + graphics upgrade.
