The most obvious thing about Dell's ignorance-promoting product page for the XPS13 (the differences are only defined in marketspeak) is that there is still no SSD available:

However, I'll keep the low-end version in mind the next time I'm shopping for "America's Best Protection." Oh wait, they all come with that. Hrm.

Are they really hoping to get a piece of the Macbook Air pie with this?

Says right there on the page you linked that the $999 base model comes with a 128GB SSD. So does the final summary if you went through their configuration tool (which is admittedly laughable because all it allows you to configure is what level of Windows/MS Office licenses you want bundled, warranty coverage, and accessories like a monitor/printer).

I'm not seeing any mention of an SSD on the page I'm looking at:

Check the yellow (telephone reception) thing on the right of the ram.

The yellow 'signal strength' bars under the 3 configurations -- 'Solid State Drive'.

Also, a 'solid state drive' is mentioned in the feature details under 'Turns on instantly'.

LOL. In my defense, those are extremely crappy UI signalling.

I don't get the SSDs thing. I see somes with the three models on the linked page.
