    I picked up my SXPS 13 with specs in my sig for $875 on ebay. Search around before you buy, you may find a good deal.

    Having bought my XPS-M1330 from BB, I'd say the main reason not to go to BB is that all warranty or repairs have to go through the Geek Squad (bunch of idiots). When I had a sticking key 1 week after I purchased the machine, I called Dell to get it fixed, and Dell wouldn't even talk to me. I had to go to BB and the only thing they would do is send it away, they couldn't order another K/B and call me when it was in. In the end I bought one from a local Dell 'scrapper' and swapped it myself. Avoid BB and deal directly with Dell. The Geeks are goons....
