    I've ordered an XPS 16 i7 from Dell UK and I added the additional backlit keyboard however on the order confirmation and acknowledgement it makes no mention of the backlit part and says

    583-12363 Keyboard : Internal UK/Irish Qwerty Keyboard

    Can someone please confirm or deny that this is the backlit keyboard part number please.

    Also has anyone ordered one of these laptops or even looked at the prices in the last couple of weeks and if so how much were they?

    Was there a large price increase at the end of last week?

    The amount of paid doesn't seem to tally with the advertised prices and I'm curious if I've got a real bargain.

    I'm answering my own question here but actually I think I'm getting confused as I was looking at the Studio 15 as well and thinking about it the XPS only comes with a backlit keyboard so the description must be wrong.

    My queries about the price still stand though.

    XPS 16 comes standard with a backlit keyboard.
