<p>I have an IBM thinkpad (about 3 years old) and it had plenty of problems but the on site warranty was really good. Once IBM switched it over to Lenova the warranty service was not as good.</p>
<p>I was thinking I should stick to Dell because the CAV Comp could service it even if I bought it direct Dell. I wanted a custom configuration as opposed the the 2-3 choices CavComp will release in May.</p>

Any reason you recommend this over the XPS?</p>
