I'm guessing that nobody wants to buy new CPUs until a whole new architecture is available. Bad luck in the timing.

- DoofusOfDeath 9y agoI'm not sure we can call it bad luck, since Dell has a lot of control over the timing of their product releases.
- kyledrake 9y agoI doubt the people working on this knew about the embargo. Most people didn't.
- kyledrake 9y agoHonestly, as sad as it is to say this, it's hard to not agree with this sentiment right now. I may wait until the next line of CPUs at this point. Which is a travesty, because these laptops are great and I was finally going to retire my old laptop. But if I'm going to get a 30% hit because of a processor hotfix, it's pretty tough to commit to that. This isn't to say anything bad about Dell Developer XPS, Sputnik, or Barton at all with their great work here. It is just indeed awful timing for a new release.
