Dell xps15 vs m3800 is there a difference?

[ghb70005]

Given the same specs, the xps15 and m380 look exactly the same and I can't figure out why marketing is trying to sell me on the $500 markup for the m3800. The only variance is the video card m380:k1100m and xps15:750m and the 750m seems to be better!

What do you think?

The difference is in graphics adapter and touch screen for m3800... At least in portuguese market. That's the pricing.

Your link to the portuguese xps15 does not look the same comparable model. hmm

m3800 is "workstation-class" laptop, so its graphic cards is optimised for CAD applications.
XPS is run-of-the-mill laptop, and if there is an add-on card, it is more for gaming / generic applications.

Sorry, must drifted somewhere on XPS. The list I've seen next doesn't refer a dedicated graphics card, but has the touch screen as well. However that 2GB NVIDIA® Quadro® K1100M GDDR5 is a graphic card for advanced professional use. This brings to what Alabalcho posted.
M3800 is a advanced work station for professional users and XPS an advanced entertainement/gaming for home users. Probably they won´t performe as good when we switch the use.
