We have some xps laptops at work cant say weve had any problems with them probably bought 10 or so , only seen 1 with any hardware problems (problem with screen) i would suggest maybe buying directly fom dell you can configure it exactly how you want it and also include a 3 year waranty for about the same price
100 bucks more then best buy ,3 year warranty, 4gb ram, better resolution
