Wow, everyone is getting XPS M1710s.

As for the new series. The M1720s are suppost to be out, but I don't know when they are coming to the table.

Cheers

I dont know, i havnt looked, but i've heard that the Alienware laptops arnt bad for gaming. If anything, they look infinitely better than the dell offerings, imho. I've been stuck with an inspiron 1300 for over a year, and i cant wait to get a UMPC and get rid of that booooring grey laptop case.

The M1720s are supposed to be here in September. They are supposed to feature the next gen Core 2s and the next gen G81 cores for their GPUs. My feeling is just more power and less battery. I am happy with what I have now, and don't regret it.
