That looks like a good choice. When will the new Haswell chips be used? From what i've heard these new CPUs are very power efficient.
I would be very careful if anyone considers these XPS-15 L521X... I had been looking at getting one of these and fortunately I did some research before buying one, they seem to plagued with a couple problems... One, which is often typical of many laptops with a dedicated GPU is that they get warm, have issues with throttling the CPU and/or GPU... The other, which is in someways the bigger problem with the L521X, is that it seems that the WIFI on it, has some sort of problem, where it won't connect at anywhere near the speeds that you would expect.
The WIFI issue, seems to have never been fixed, I've read many many posts on internet forums about the issue, and near as I can tell, Dell has never come up with a solution to the problem. I was almost willing to take a chance on the CPU/GPU throttling problems, knowing that a lot of laptops have these kinds of issues, but when I read about all the WIFI issues, I gave up on the idea of the XPS15 L521X.
I have been looking for laptops for a few weeks now, and for me, I finally decided on a Sager NP7352, I opted for the 95% NTSC Color Gamut screen, Intel 6235 - 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN + Bluetooth , and the high end CPU cooling paste ( hoping it might help keep things cool when using the GPU )... I also had Windows 7 Pro installed, as I'm not a big fan of Windows 8... Total price came out to just under $1300.

It's a bit hard to find detailed reviews of the Sager(Clevo) laptops, but there are blurbs here and there that suggest the they can pretty nice , when compared to some of the more well known brands. I just submitted my order yesterday, and am basically willing to give them a chance, after suffering with a older Dell XPS 15, for a few years ( it's always had issues with throttling CPU/GPU when trying to run high graphics intense things such as games, etc... )
Anyway, be very cautious when considering that Dell...
