received word that Dell has axed its XPS 14 notebook. This 14" system was launched just four months ago and featured Intel's Core i5 and NVIDIA GeForce 400M graphics. According to Dell, the XPS 14 will be replaced by a thinner and ligher Sandy Bridge based model later this year (aka an Adamo-style XPS):
However, that's not because the system didn't sell well -- Dell maintains that it actually exceeded sales expectations. Considering it was a very aggressively priced rig that doesn't really surprise us, but why not bring it back? That's where things get interesting, and we'll give you Dell's exact quote on this one...
"With the transition to Sandy Bridge technology, we chose to re-focus our efforts on incorporating this feedback into future thin and light products launching later this year. Stay tuned!"
