    So I have a studio xps 1645 (specs below) and want to upgrade to a newer xps system.

    Xps 1645 specs-
    Hard Drive - 500GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
    Memory - 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz
    Processor - Intel® Core™ i7-720QM Quad Core Processor 1.6GHz (2.8GHz Turbo Mode, 6MB Cache)
    Optical Drive - 8X Slot Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
    Graphics Card - AMD ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4670

    I want to downsize to a new xps 14 or 15 without sacrificing anything. I do normal computer tasks for work and school but I also game from here and there. Diablo 3 and COD are my main games.

    I was liking the 14 but its not a quad core and has the 630m gpu. The 15 has a quad core with the 640m gpu.

    I would like to hear all of your opinions on the 2 and if I will notice a difference besides size.

    My budget is under $2000 with taxes and shipping.
