    I see no 1080 option in the config setups. There a tech issue happening?

    Still listed on the Dell .ca site but not on the Dell.com US site under the "Recommended" build. It is listed for the other 3 builds thou..

    Odd .

    It is also still listed on the Dell US website, but it may delay your XPS 15 ship date; it seems to be backordered.

    Seems to be removed from the Dell UK site now!
    :mad: Was really hoping to buy one with the screen.

    Yep, gone from the Dell UK site.

    Which is a massive shame, because I already missed the 640GB HDD upgrade! Still 500GB is enough. But, now that you cant have the B+GR 1080p screen (reported to be one of the best screens you can get for the money on a 15 incher) then dell I wont be sending Dell just over 1000 of my british pounds.

    Hope it comes back, but time is running out before VAT becomes 20% and the whole computer buying experience becomes needlessly more expensive.

    This machine was practically the only machine to provide exactly what I wanted, and now it doesn't. Silly Dell.

    OH CRAP! Now i really regret not buying it yesterday! I was ready to go but held back and now i dont get this machine with what i wanted! What a tool!
    Massively disappointed!
    If i can't get that screen then im not getting the machine in all honesty and will wait for something else.

    It is probably just back ordered. Hopefully they won't go with a lower quality panel like HP did. That would suck.
