    Hey guys,

    Just wondering does the XPS have a "Dell" logo in the circle on the lid (like on the Inspirons) or does it have "XPS" sort of engraved in it?

    Also is it made of better quality materials than the inspiron like they claim on their website?

    Any pictures of XPS 15"??

    Cheers Dudes. Might order mine tomorrow!

    i believe that a majority of the chassis and casing is made of magnesium helping with rigidity and weight. IMHO its a great laptop.

    everytime i look at my old toshiba, i wonder how i got along so long with it compared to my 1530.

    It may be built out of better parts. But I think most of us can agree that the build quality is not the best in the world. Not saying it is horrible.

    true...true. if we were looking for build quality we'd all own some darth vader box ibm/lenovos whose look hasn't changed since the 90's.
