    Hopefully Dell will tip the balance just a little bit towards the cool side. Once the "cool" factor becomes the main concern the price will elevate and sales will drop. Hopefully Mr. Dell will find a decent balance between the two.

    Cool sells, but isn't that why they have the XPS line?

    looks pretty hideous to me,,, no way i'm paying a price premium on that look

    but then again XPS has never been good on the price/performance ratio

    I guess delays are the new hip thing to do? :p


    Hopefully this doesn't turn into a contest between Dell and Apple to see who can overprice their products the most while still turning a profit.
