    I was wondering if anyone was having some issues with the build quality of their XPS 17. I have had mine for almost 6 months and I noticed the chrome trim is starting to kind of rub off and it is now white and dull. I am not too pleased by this. You can find a picture attached. One side is reflective and the other is dull. I have tried cleaning it multiple times but there is nothing on the chrome trim it has just rubbed off over time with use.

    Yeh I am sure mine is now like that after 2.5 months....
    Not a huge deal but I guess they should have made that better.
    Main complaint from me is the headphone port, plugging my headphones in will stay loose so now using the middle jack rather than the dedicated headphone one.
