    Well not to be sarcastic...but the difference is no leather. The leather strip is a little over an inch wide and goes across the back of the screen at the bottom. You can find pictures of it on dell's site...

    I felt the leather strip in best buy and while it could be a nice touch for some, I am not a leather fan and I think it is kinda tacky on a laptop (even though I really dont care about style. I went with no leather even though it would have cost $0 to get leather at the time of purchase.
