Re: Just as I expected In my experience Vista requires heftier hardware than OS X so in terms of speed it's like comparing horsepower. If you have a light car you are lightning fast with less horsepower than a really heavy car with a bit more power. It's like comparing processors by strictly GHz and nothing else. But I digress.
As far as Studio XPS, they're certainly priced higher than the XPS-M machines they're replacing and they're Dell's latest DDR3 powered notebooks. What do you consider a "pure" XPS machine? The Studio XPS offers some of the fastest processors, graphics and RAM in their mobile line up. Only their foot thick M17xx offer remotely comparable performance (with SLI graphics) but they're hardly a real portable.
My impression is they added the Studio name as part of the aesthetic redesign (the leather, backlit keyboard, revised trackpad, etc). I think the XPS Ms are going away and Dell will be left with Inspiron, Studio and Studio XPS as their consumer notebook brands.
