@sameer.pur - Thanks much. The XPS 15 just went back on sale on dell.co.in this evening. However they don't have the option to configure it with the i7 processors yet, only the i3 and i5 for now.

yeah.. looks like they've got stock.. but it's 1st gen only for now..
they'll just add 2nd gen proc. options when it releases here. :)
It also reads 2nd gen. processors in the XPS 15 description there.. :D

Don't know if we will see Sandy Bridge processors here that soon. I spoke to Dell again and they said no news of it as yet, but they did confirm that the 1st gen i7 processors available on the 29th of March.

Update: Spoke to Dell today they said that the XPS 15 with 2nd Gen i7 will be available by the 29th of March.

Of course earlier this week he told me that it would be 1st Gen i7. So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

^^ Dell has international warranty. You'll just have to fill up a form at their website.

And there is a huge price difference between India & US (can't say about UK). But unless someone brings it with himself, you're going to pay a lot of money as custom duties & shipping charges. That will be more than what you'll pay if you buy it in India.

^^ If you get it shipped, you'll have to pay custom duties which amounts to about 15-20% of the price + shipping charges (about 4-5k for a laptop package).

USPS, DHL, FedEx, etc. ship to India.

crap, 2.5 k more for the 540 gpu...
will have to adjust with 720p screen...

I guess it would be better to upgrade to a 1080p screen than upgrading the GPU.... as I read in the notebookreview forums that the GT540M is similar to an overclocked GT525M and gives only a slight performance upgrade.

Also in the same forum I saw people complaining about the quality of the 720p screen(though most of the users were from U.K)..... I have seen the 1080p screen of L501x and its just awesome....

What is the use of a 1080p screen if you cannot play games in HD resolution on it ?

Those laptop manufacturers think people are fool to buy laptops based on how good looking they are. eg:- Sony
