    Dell xps15 vs m3800 is there a difference?

    Given the same specs, the xps15 and m380 look exactly the same and I can't figure out why marketing is trying to sell me on the $500 markup for the m3800. The only variance is the video card m380:k1100m and xps15:750m and the 750m seems to be better! What do you think?
