    But as I understand it, Dell will be phasing out the Inspiron line in favor of the Studio. Am I right?

    I don't think so.
    The Inspiron is now the cheap, low cost line. Studio in the middle. And XPS at top.

    BTW, the direct link to ObjectDock (while I think is identical to Dell Dock) is http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/

    But for the same configuration, Studio 15 is cheaper than Inspiron :confused:

    i agree, the xps line should have got the backlit keyboard, led screen options (which some countries have now) and other more high end perks compared to the studio line.

    At least it isn't an empty shill for Mac. I wonder who Dell could get to shill for them?
