Dell XPS' with different specs??

Hi all.

I was considering purchasing a Dell XPS 15 as I thought they where quite good judging from reviews and the specs they listed for the machine. However when I went to order one from the Dell website I checked the specs only to find they had changed to something considerably worse - i3 processor? 350Gb HDD? (Still the same price tag though)

I read that you can get different versions of the Dell XPS or even customise the specs yourself. But after checking the Dell website - nothing. Only customisation was stuff like accident insurance/ 'useless' junk like that.

Anyone have an idea where I can pick up an XPS with a sandybridge i5 etc, or how I can find the page to customise one myself?

Should be on Dell website. All their customisation options are there.

EDIT : Checked again and it's on their main website. There is the XPS and the New! XPS

Also, I'm abit confused about the screen sizes and resolution. I'll be using the laptop for gaming occasionally and was wondering what screen size and graphic card to get. Will only be doing light/medium gaming and I'm on a tight budget.

I'll be going for the 15" screen.

Should I go with the 1gb Nvidia graphics card?

Should I stay with the 720p screen? or is there a significant difference by upgrading to 1080p? would this be noticeable on the 15" screen?

(Having a hard time finding the same laptop twice on the dell website, at the moment)
