I also purchased one of the new XPS 13 1080p models as a replacement for a 15" MBP. From everything I had seen about this model, it was one of the first "Ultrabooks" that approached the MacBook Air in terms of build quality, pleasing and stylish aesthetics, and of course the 1080p screen.

The first unit they sent had horrible backlight bleed in the upper right and lower left corners of the screen. Dell's first 'solution' was to offer to send out a tech to replace the screen. I requested a new laptop, since after all, it was only about a week old at that point.

I received the 2nd unit, and while there was no backlight bleed in the upper right or lower left, there was similar bleeding on the lower right and upper left this time.

I'm truly disappointed at what is otherwise a fantastic piece of hardware. It seems that Dell was more concerned with getting a 1080p model in their catalog than ensuring that they could actually build the things successfully.

I'm trying for a 3rd, after which I'll stop trying and go buy an MBA.
