    3 configs at $999, $1299, and $1499.

    It's only published on the Dell Home segment, but a little judicious URL manipulation will get you a discount through EPP:


    XPS 13 Ultrabook ? High performance & lightweight laptop details | Dell

    That saves you 2% right there. Then you can use a $50 off EPP coupon:

    B94N1GC3$6FMM?

    Then if you use a Dell Preferred Account you get another 3% off.

    My net price for the base config, including sales tax, was $954.66, so that's about 10% off all told.

    I only wish I could buy it without the T-Mobile hotspot, but it's not removable from the cart.

    Is it an actual hotspot device? If so, maybe you could sell it..

    Not a bad price for one w/ a 256gb hd though.. Too bad you can't configure it without one to do it yourself.

    Hopefully the screen is decent. Would've been nice to see a higher res 1080p option like on the Vaio, but I suppose 720 is enough for the 13" laptop
