A friend just pointed out Dell have "new XPS" machines on their web site.

didn't click buy. :(
New XPS 17" looks like a nice machine. i7 4C/8T + 8Gb ram (can go up to
12Gb), 2 drives (can even config with dual 256Gb SSD's
No wonder you are *sighing* lugging around 3.5kg!

I have the 15" version with 1920x1080 screen. Couldn't justify the extra grand
for 17" without getting more screen space. I got the lowest hard drive spec,
then switched it out with a crucial realssd. Mine has the 2nd Gen i7 chip, and
i chose the top chip i could get. Laptop cost about $2,200 in
I'm looking with some interest at the Lenovo x220 (and x220t) - seems to tick
all the boxes and they reckon 23 hr battery with the extra 6-cell!

3.5Kg is light!!
The m1730 was 4.83 kg. The power supply: 1.46 kg
I remember the ooohs and ahhs as you pull out the m1730 from your bag. Then
the peels of laughter as you pull out the power supply and drop that mother

Very true.
I took mine on a site visit one day and one of their mobile guys laughed at

This is done from within a user control.
