Inspiron 9300 vs XPS

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I am planning to replace my four year old Inspiron 8000. The two systems I
am looking at are the 9300 and the XPS. Identically equipped the XPS is
$400 more and I cannot find _any_ information on Dell's Web site about
what the difference is. The only information I have found shows that they
use the same processors and chip sets and offer the same options with the
sole exception that the fastest processor on the 9300 is the 2 gHz and on
the XPS it is the 2.13 gHz, which seems like a meaningless difference.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Not that I can find any mention of.

The word Dell and Support are contradictory words!

Thanks very much. Looks like the 9300 is the better deal.
