    Just buy a cheaper configuration one from Dell and buy the SSD separately.

    Get any configuration of xps 15 you want, and buy the SSD yourself. Something like a Samsung 850 EVO should cost you around $300 in either M.2 or 2.5" form factors.

    Check Best Buy open box cages. Got a $2,300 XPS touch 4k, 16gigs, 1tb, skylake i7 for $1,500 after negotiating (priced at $1,803 in the cage). Netted down to $1,350 with an extra 10% off. Deals are out there, but you have to work for them.

    Dell will normally give 10-15% discount, you can get 15% in the Uk by joining the VIP club.
