I really want to buy the alienware 14 1700$ model but don't know when the new laptops are coming out and if they are only going to get a revision or a totally new look.
They said that the mobile graphics cards will come out first but don't know really when
The 880M is is scheduled to hit OEM's sometime around late Feb but it looks like it will probably be a re-branding. Any time new chips (GPU and CPU) are released you can expect to see new laptops as well, last year it coincided with Haswell, I think it was June(ish) which is Q3. This year maybe a little bit different but at the latest Q3
