The problem with buying systems at Costco or Sams Club is that the internal components may be of lower quality to achieve a desirable price point. I have purchased Dell systems thru Dell online for over 20 years without any problems, except that my current Win 7 Pro 64 bit system will have graphics driver problems several times a month.

I will only own Dell. The configurations you are looking at will be so much faster and better than what you have. If you truly want the SSD I am sure on the Dell website you can have one built that way. They give you pricing on the basic configuration but you can almost always upgrade, you might want to check out both sides, the personal and the business. I have bounced back and forth to get what I wanted. Also I couldn't agree more with ILLMAS's comment about getting it at Costco or Sam's Club. My last couple of computers have come from there and when I did have a problem they were great to work with in resolving it. I trust Costco completely on my electronics and slowly gaining the same trust with Sam's Club. I've never bought big ticket items from them simply because unitl I moved I had to travel too far if I needed to return it. Now I have two Costco's and one Sam's Club within 15 miles of my home!

Look into Costo and Samsclub, someone they have the XPS on sale.

When you have to be passenger, not driver?
