    Hey, I checked the forums and didn't find anything so I hope its not mentioned yet.
    I just noticed that Dell has a 10 day deal going on, with new offers every day, and it ends on ... the 23, which would make the rumor of new laptops on the 23 more feasable (sp?) :D

    Just a thought..

    Edit, link for the lazy ! http://www.dell.com/

    Would seem quite possible. Appears these 10 day deals are global. I'm thinking that the new stuff will be announced on the 28th though.

    Why the 28th? Is it just a guess or ..? I've been waiting for what feels like forever, so I'll take any rumors you've got! ;)

    The last day of offers is the 23rd, a Thursday. I doubt that they'll release something new that day. Never seen anyone releasing new stuff on a Friday (day after sales end). My best bet would be a normal Tuesday launch.

    Yea, I don't see the connection here, what does dell days of deals have to do with studio xps launch date? Dell always have these days of deals promos.

    I sure hope dell doesn't disappoint us with all this waiting time.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up, to be honest. Several times over the past few months, Dell has had great deals/coupons and people thought that new laptops would surely come once the deals were over - hasn't happened yet. :p

    I know, I know.. But i don't have any other bright ideas so I take what I have and work with it! This one kinda fits with some rumors though.. bah, i dunno. :p

    And D.A. makes a valid point!

    The current coupons are not for Studio's or for XPS's ........ so there really is NO reason that they can't release updates or Montevina on either of them at ANY time.

    ALSO, the 10 days of daily sales are different almost daily. The current special that is for Studios ENDS at the end of MONDAY the 20th...............So AGAIN, there is no reason they can't announce a refresh or Montevina for the Studioa or XPS's on Tuesday the 21st and just NOT have a special on them.

    Not that I expect them to finally have a Studio 17 with Montevina at this point.......... REALLY annoying that they have it on the Studio 15's but NOT Studio 17's!!!!

    They aren't going to release new laptops in the middle of a special sale.

    I agree, I find it highly unlikely.
