    J/K, I have nothing against the XPS line, and if anything, they're great computers.

    Carry the XPS M1330, instead, and the power brick won't even be noticeable, not to mention how light the laptop is.

    It's already a little taxing on the wallet to buy one, if you can afford two, feed a country in Africa.

    XPS used to mean Extreme Performance System, but now the acronym is used to signify that the system is top-of-the-line, like a Lexus of Dells.

    Honestly, I like the old XPS acronym signification better.
