    4 to 5 months! I was hoping to see it in May or early June :(

    I am considering an XPS M1330 but I am hesitant on the screen size. I would prefer a 14". When I saw the announce of the E-series, it made me even more hesitant.

    Based on what you know of the E-series laptops, is it worth / wise waiting? It sounds like the E series will be a cross between the actual XPS 13 and 15 inch models and the business latitude current models. The rumors are that they will include backlit keyboards. This sounds like a big plus to me. Also, considering it is going to be a latitude laptop, I guess we can expect very long battery life figures.

    The wait for the E's is driving me nuts :)
