The Verge review.
Dell doesn't show me an i7 version - http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-13-9343-laptop/pd?oc=dncwt5131s&model_id=xps-13-9343-laptop
The backlit keyboard sounds nice (though it depends on how it's done - I've got an E6400 with a backlit keyboard that shuts off too soon). Being limited to 8 GB bites though - I've got a couple of Toshiba R835s that max out at 8 GB. :-(
The Verge review says their i5 version with the touchscreen only gets about half the claimed battery life. Presumably an i7 is worse. But 6 hours is great compared to maybe 2 from the E6400.
Enjoy! And do let us know how you like it. The high-res screen sounds great (would be better if one could get it without the touch stuff though. ;-)
Cheers,
Scott.
