I went through a very convuluted process of complaints to the customer service team and was put in a mega shunt between various departments including VIP Sales all based in India. Ended up writing a complaint letter to Michael Dell and Tim Griffin (CEO/VP), and then the matter was picked up by the exec complaints dept (again in India), who despite yet another protracted engagement were only willing to offer 10% discount on a new order - which meant that the XPS 12 was still way out of my affordability.
Dont waste your time, energy and sanity complaining. Its really not worth it. Indian staff are driven by process which they love soooo much and are unwilling to break out of. And the indian exec complaints team are so up their own a**e they think they are doing you a favour and are the gatekeepers to god! I can say this as a British Indian with large amounts of experience dealing with off-shore teams and indian businesses. Dell it appears have chosen India as a back/front office esp for customer service as the whole experience is so frustrating and exhausting that eventually you give up and succumb to their demands.
Best option is to learn and move on. I shant be purchasing from Dell again regardless of how good an offer it may be. Any company that fails to invest in a live order system that only lets you buy what is in stock, and is willing to cancel so many orders and upset potential customers doesnt deserve my hard earned cash!

Heat, heat, heat!
For the 256gb SSD model, you're saving nearly £600.
I watched an hour of reviews. Just to summarize what you're getting and reviewers general experiences:
XPS 11 comes with an i5 haswell processor, 4gb RAM and an Intel HD 4200 dedicated video chip. It's a relatively powerful machine, especially for for it's price range.
Screen is of magnificent quality. Beautiful Quad HD, with superb viewing angles.
Solid state drive = Faster booting times, as well as speedy reading/writing, etc. They're generally much more expensive to purchase and recommended, over all other hard drives.
Stereo speakers, situated both sides of the laptop's base. Sound quality is great, especially for it's size.
The device is really thin and ultra light (for a laptop/tablet hybrid).
360 degrees flexibility. Can be used as a full fledge laptop, or tablet.
In tablet mode, keyboard and trackpad sit underneath and are disabled.
Keyboard has had mixed reviews, due to design issues. It's a touch keyboard, without clicky-touch feedback. Keyboard isn't ideal for folks who want to type a lot (big essays, word processing, etc) - Dell have stated that this is first and for-most a tablet and secondly, a laptop. That being said, this device runs Windows 8.1 and takes advantage of Windows 8.1 legacy applications (not restricted to tablet apps).
Gaming is moderate. I viewed somebody playing Mass Effect 3 on it (Playstation 3 graphics) and it was chugging along quite well on medium-high settings.
Battery life lasts between 6.5 and 8 hours, depending on usage, due to the processors low power consumption capabilities.
The build quality of the device is phenomenal, in all of the reviews I read and watched.
Don't let this deal go. If you're on the fence, get off it and buy, unless the keyboard design is a deal breaker, which it might be for those editorialists and writers, out there. A bargain, nevertheless. :innocent:

I've owned an older model and they're very good as an ultrabook, don't expect huge performance, but it's a nice bit of carry around kit.

If it's the one I'm thinking of it has the worst keyboard known to man (resembles the Surface touch keyboard)
This ruins an otherwise superb laptop.

I was thinking about getting a nexus 9 and a new pc. Am I being stupid or is this a much better idea? Will the ram upgrade to 8?

Yes, the keyboard seems to be a big let down according to the reviews on the Dell site :disappointed:
Was about to order the laptop as it ticks many check boxes.

There's a SD card slot, for additional storage. I own a 128gb SD card, which I purchased for £30.50, if you fancy a storage upgrade in the process: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Komputerbay-Secure-Digital-Extended-Capacity/dp/B00CX8SJDM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1413843635&sr=8-6&keywords=128+gb - I highly recommend it, despite it's obscure branding.
