    Nice. I didn't know they had a 750GB HDD now.
    Ahh, I suppose they do that on the 15 because it only has one HDD bay.

    Nice config, I just got an XPS15 from the outlet as well. Here is my config:
    15.6 FHD B+RG LED 1080p
    Intel core i5 460M 2.53GHz
    4GB RAM 1333MHz
    Nvidia GT420M 1GB
    500GB 7200RPM HDD

    All for: $745

    P/s: I see that you have a 2yrs warranty...I recommend you purchase 3+ yrs for warranty as the computer may have problems by then...

    Dell may announce some new/re-configured laptops on 8th Feb 2011 as per their invitation mail to media with a subject line like " Dell means business". So lets hope to hear something new from Dell. Fingers crossed.
