Dell Teasing Quad-Core, 17in Notebook Comments

WOW! that is some spec! I really hope apple comes out with something close to this that can rival its potential performance when they decide to refresh their MacbookPro line.because I need a desktop replacement that will last me at least 2years and my imac ain't cutting it anymore.

I bought an XPS Gen 2 three years ago based on the reviews on this website. I use it for 3D CAD modelling (it was a lot cheaper than a Precision workstation at the time) and the odd LAN party. It's getting a bit creaky now so I guess that this new machine could be what I'm looking for. I will be underwhelmed if switching it on doesn't cause streetlights to dim and tooth fillings to spark.
