The XPS 13 arrived today, so I am now on a 2-laptop setup: one for portability, and one for performance.
For a size comparison, that is a Galaxy S3 sitting in front of the Alienware. The XPS 13 weighs 3.0 lbs, while the Alienware weighs 9.4 lbs. Below are the specs of the XPS 13 (and here is a link to the Alienware specs):
