I feel like 128gb SSD is still behind. Isn't there a $799 version of this XPS? If there is, i'd imagine it would have nearly the same specs (besides the cpu 2 gens newer) as my Zenbook that I got for the same price 3 years ago. Wtf?
Oh you're right, where's the 10lb version that is 6 inches thick with dual discrete graphics cards and massive ventilation system?!
Leave heavy gaming to the desktop. Intel 5500 is MORE than enough for casual gaming and heavy video tasks.
Uh, couldn't find the 10lb version. Maybe this one will help?

For $200 more you get a touchscreen, a discrete Nvidia 840m card, and a 5th gen i7.
Or hell, for the same price, get an Nvidia 860m in the Alienware laptop.
It's beneficial in a lot of ways to have decent graphics performance, and for the cost of a Macbook Air you can get something that can play modern games.
