    I went on Dells site to configure an M1330 and it is no longer listed. Am I just seeing things or has this unit been pulled?

    Yes it seems to have disappeared from the US site.. though here in Italy, its still available... *may be its just a bug on the site??* have you tried getting online for a chat with customer support? or tried giving them a call?

    I'm going to try and call them later. I'm was just wondering because I'm waiting on a replacement unit and wondering if I will get it now. I will call them in a little bit.

    I think they're raising the prices and changing configuration options across the XPS line. I had two XPS notebooks in my cart yesterday and today both of them have had substantial price increases and I've found, like you, that I cannot access them on the site to customize them any longer.

    The only change seem to be that there's the option to buy it with a 64-bit OS.


    And it seems to be a fair bit more expensive?

    Was the alpine white version there earlier? I didn't keep my eye that much on the US page so I'm not sure.

    check out the Bluetooth and Wireless USB section, if you select the Wireless USB dock without Bluetooth, it says you have to select the Bluetooth option, does this mean that you can now get both wireless in one?

    Its because the wireless dock uses bluetooth to connect the laptop to the dock...so without bluetooth the dock would be useless...

    prices seem to be much cheaper...when i configured in the highest priced bundle pack with a 64 bit OS, it was much cheaper than i had configured yesterday...i usually stay away from the bundle packs, but it was much cheaper as it had nice baseline specs.
