Mark Spoonauer Hi, feel free to fire away. You can ask your question here or feel free to go to the dedicated thread for our Dell Q&A: http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/id-3340091/announcing-toms-guide-dell-xps-laptop-giveaway.htmlReply -
velo3100 I have 3 questions.Reply
1. Why does the dell xps 13 cost so much? I am talking about the non convertible. I ask this as I have always wondered why high end ultrabooks have cost a lot of money when you can't do that much with them.
2. Why do some of your business line come with only 1 year of warranty and not the standard 2. I forgot the exact models sorry.
3. Do you plan on bringing more models to the dell insperon 1537 I think the laptop is called. I am talking about the one with the gtx 1050.
If I come up with more I will ask here.

aymonitto MERGED QUESTIONQuestion from aymonitto : "XPS Laptop Specifications"Reply
Can you provide the full specifications of hardware and operating system of the laptop you want to give away? -
Guaje The picture shows quite a big top margin. Will it have an infinity display? Does pricing come down to a 13 in laptop form-factor with a 15 in display, while looking sleek? Will the camera be at the bottom of the lcd? How about that 13" form factor and 15" screen size on any of your regularly-priced laptop lines? (<$500 with mid-range i7 and 250GB solid-state drive, 16GB RAM?)Reply -
Adham6124 What would you suggest as the best way to setup your new laptop for security purposes? What types of software should everyone have? Password protector , browser security, malware, anti-virus, vpn, etc. do you have any specific recommendations - is there a quick and easy fix?Reply -
