About to buy an XPS M1330 ?

About to buy one of these or perhaps one of the new Latitude E4400 when they arrive. Does anyone know if there is a replacement for the M1330 on the horizon or should i bite the bullet and buy one. I can wait if its going to be a few months but if we are talking next year then i may as well buy one now.

I have not heard anything about a replacement due to the new ultra portable just being released. Basically competition in the netbook from dell.

Well apparently the 1530 is getting replaced in November and the xps range will be merged with the studio. I am not sure if they will replace 1330 or 1710/1730 at the same time yet though.

They are replacing the XPS M13 & M15 with studio xps 13 & 16. Details are really thin on the ground at the moment though

I read they were dropping XPS range, seems a little strange as they don't seem to have anything similar. The new latitudes look cool.

Well they are dropping it and turning the Studio into a Studio XPS. So i'd assume they are merging them both and not dropping it completely.

I've also seen mention of them dropping it because they are taking away sales from alienware, which they own aswell but that is just internet talk.

Sorry missed your first post. Yes that makes much more sense
