    I would appreciate if anybody can shed some light on the differences between M90 and M1710 in terms of build quality, performance ... all the good stuff. Thanks in advance.

    The build quality of the two should be about the same (the M1710 is based off of the E1705, while the M90 is based off of the I9300 with quality improvements) - the screen on the XPS will be of higher quality however. Other differences include tech support - the XPS has its own dedicated line of support teams, while the M90 is supported by Dell's business support, which is on par, or better than that of the XPS's. All the other differences are minor - see Dell's website for more info.
