Honestly, 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.
