I actually think the formfactor and the overall build for the XPS 14 is a sweeter machine than the xps 13.
btw, the toshiba z930 are also very nice. Matt screen, very light ( its lighter than the Macbook Air ), 128gb ssd, 12gb ram, hdmi and vga out, with a proper ethernet port and a built in 4g modem, 7 hrs battery - runs CentOS-6 out of the box - absolutely everything works stock on the i5 model ( i dont know / havent looked at the i7 ones ), PCWorld had it on sale two weeks ago at £580 - I paid £745 for mine, which included 3 yrs warranty.
