IdeaStorm can help take your idea and turn it into reality.

• intel Ivy Bridge i5/ i7 QM- check!
• OLED 1920x1200- We went with WLED for power consumption reasons. When coupled with the proprietary color engine software included with the system, we're able to deliver impressive color, 1080p resolution, excellent viewing angles with a relative power savings of 40% over the previous gen display.
• no logo beneath the screen and the logo on the lid is moudled as part of the lid instead of being a plastic "sticker"- We stuck with the logo on the screen bezel, and the logo on the lid is definitely not a sticker. We also moved all the service tag, Windows and Intel stickers under a removable metal panel on the bottom of the system, giving it a very clean and sophisticated look.
• JBL speakers- The brand tenets of the new XPS do not include "co-branding" of any component. That clean look I spoke about above drives this decision. We did spec the system from day one with the same class of unbranded speaker as the JBL. However, there is no subwoofer as before due to the chassis configuration. We left the co-branding and subwoofer to the Inspiron R Special Edition by using Skull Candy speakers on both platforms and a subwoofer on the 17".
• USB 3.0 x 4- We fitted 3 in there.
• designed like the DELL XPS 13 with improved cooling including carbon fibre bottom, improved ventilation and cooling paste - NO SHINY GORILLA GLASS- better cooling with less noise than the 14z- It shares the same design direction and many materials with the XPS 13. We chose not to go with CF bottom this time around but instead did a mag alloy with silicone coated bottom. The silicone coating serves as a heat shielding element much as CF does, and the weight is still in line with what we would expect to see from a CF bottom. Corning Gorilla Glass is there for reasons of structural integrity, thin-ness and scratch resistance. With Gorilla Glass we're able to mold the panel directly to the glass and shave some thickness out, and the bonding has the added benefit of contributing the the overall solid feel of the system.
• real metal chrome trim or a design without the trim- No chrome trim around the edge, but we used a machined aluminum band around the palmrest.

• sturdier lid without flex- Check. See Gorilla Glass comments.
• high quality plastic or metal bezel - no glossy finish!- Very thin bezel bonded under glass. It's plastic, though.
• nVIDIA 600 series GPU with Optimus technology as standard - a GTX 600 series GPU as an option- GT640m 2GB GDDR5 is the top GPU offering. GT630M 1GB GDDR5 is the base option.
• slot-load optical drive with optional Blu-ray support- Check.
• 2MP webcam- 1.3MP with dual array microphones.
• 9-cell battery- Check.
• better backlight - only the signs should be lit up, not the space between the keys- This would require a 2-shot injection molding keyboard manufacturing process. This idea has been posted on IS before, but we have no plans to move forward with that at this time. 
• options for other wireless cards- Only option is the Intel 6235 WiFi/Bluetooth combo card.
• Creative Sound Core3D - quad core sound and voice processor- We went with Wavves Max Audio.
• standard keyboard layout - like the DELL XPS 15, but with the XPS 13 color scheme- We're close to standard, but we still use the reduced size arrow/page up and down combo keys for spacing reasons.

"Thank you very much for your idea submission. Many of the items you are proposing are under review for the next gen XPS 15. We may not be able to tick off every box on this next release, but I am confident we will have something significantly close enough to your proposal to interest you. I am unable to talk specifics just yet, but stay tuned!"

We don't comment upon rumours and speculation, but if you read what Bill wrote and then look at the features on my list, it would be a no-brainer that the new DELL XPS will be out around the release of the new intel Ivy Bridge or within the following months. The third of June is the official release date for intel's Ivy Bridge platform for laptops.

No official statement has been released from DELL, so all we can do is hang tight and wait for it ;)
