I notice a design trend with these slim notebooks. First time I noticed it was in a Asus and then in XPS - the edges of base of the laptop are shown very thin. But that slimness is just for the visual effect and if you look at the thickness of the base from the cross section you will realise it's actually as thick all across as at is the hinge and the edges were chiseled out 1 inch (or so) towards the middle on all three sides (except from the hinge) just to make the laptop appear thinner than it actually is.
XPS is a great laptop, I have briefly used it at work, but this tactic (marketing design tactic?), at least to me, feels sometime like deceiving. Kinda off-putting. I have also used Thinkpad Carbon in the past and if I remember correctly it was as slim as it looked.
