    Apparently.....Xps has leather material? and .4 more of an inch screen.

    Is that worth $500 more???

    I dont understand....

    I think I will go for the cheaper one.....studio 15 or whatever its called. Its about $1000

    Main things are: better graphics card and VERY VERY good WUXGA screen (if you do the upgrade).

    If i could, i'd buy the WUXGA screen from Dell to put in the Sager laptop i just ordered ;)
