17" Widescreen Display on Inspiron Notebooks?

Hi all, I'm very intererested in getting a 17" WS display on a notebook, but Dell has yet to offer one.  What's up?  My friends who have purchased the Toshiba and HP version are happy, but I've been holding off to see what Dell comes out with.  Been holding for a while...don't know how much longer I can wait..

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Tom H.

    Thanks for your reply.  So no Dell sales associates post on this forum?  I was hoping that in order to save my business for a $3000+ laptop that someone would be willing to leak a little hint that something might happen in the next few months...I've already waited almost a year, not sure how much longer I can wait.

    Thanks,

    Tom H.

    Whats your question? Dell doesn't make one, and they don't preannounce, so none of us know anything.

    There are Dell people on the firum, but they are moderators only, and are to prevent us from flaming eachother. I doubt thhey have any adavce info, and if they did have it and leaked it, they'd probably be fired in 10 sec. and the post deleted.

    Apparently Dell is indeed working on a 17" notebook, according to Digitimes. I would expect an announcement before the year is out.

    I agree with caboosemoose on a Dell 17 inch screen.  Read about it sometime ago, but cannot remember where.  It said at the time Dell was planning on a 17 inch around the time school was to open, but that was just a few weeks from the start of school.  Have not heard anything else since.  It will be interesting to see one and how it compares with the XPS or 8600 system.
