    Still not showing either preconfigured or configurable on my employer's Premier page. Will check again late in the day.

    Thank you for the confirmation, Dell-Mango_G!
    Can you tell us if a RAID-0 configuration is supported in BIOS?
    Also, are there any other differences besides the GPU between M3800 and XPS 15?
    Thanks!

    Wow, is Windows 8.1 really not installed by default? I thought it was necessary to get the most out of the high DPI IGZO screen.

    Dell seems very confused. I'm even more perplexed about Optiumus for instance. I think they need to work on their marketing and release coordination efforts. I also wish they'd stop the 30% off gimmick and just have a real price. No one's falling for the idea that it's 30% off on the day of release anyway. It just cheapens the experience of buying - in the sense that I don't feel I'm buying a premium product even if it is.

    Same in Denmark. Keyboard says: nordisk/østeuropæisk (QWERTY), I think it is the same as eg. Asus keyboards, few keys with red and green national letters eg. Æ Ø Å.

    By the way it seems like the 256 SSD version also include 500gb SHDD, even though I would have prefered the bigger battery.

    1 x 8 GB
    Not IPS (at least not UltraSharp, spec says TrueLife(tm))
    I suspect so, yes.

    PS: updated my earlier post with E-Value codes, more spec.
