    So I have decided to take advantage of the 25% off, and get an Xps1530. A few questions though.

    1. Does it come with media center remote, so I can control movies or something from across the room?

    2. Does it have a quickplay type feature, where you can watch movies or music without booting up comp?

    3. In light of the graphic cards issues, should I wait until the next version comes out? My worry with that is that the price will go up significantly, since there may not be a coupon available.

    thanks folks

    1. Yes
    2. Yes
    3. Actually it's getting more affordable due to more selections on the market. Wait for another discount coupon and the new ones might have better hardwares for the same price.
