Microsoft's Store site is currently offering a Dell XPS 14 notebook for $1099: a purported saving of $500 on the recommended retail price.

The deal is aimed squarely at university students, with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 preloaded on the device. The laptop is being sold under the Microsoft Signature

“Because [the Dell XPS 14] is a Microsoft Signature PC, you get a lightning quick computer pre-loaded with everything you need for Uni”, explains the MS Store website.

The Dell XPS 14 comes with a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M graphics card, an Intel Core i5-480 Dual Core 2.66Ghz CPU, 6GB of DDR3 memory, a 640GB hard drive running at 7200RPM and a 14in screen LED display. Battery life (essential for students) is quoted at 5 hours like Dell HP297 battery, dell GW240 battery, dell RN873 battery, dell XR693 battery, dell 0XR693 battery, dell 312-0625 battery, Dell Latitude X200 battery, Dell 8U443 battery, Dell Latitude X200 battery, Dell 312-0058 battery.

Curiously, the above specifications do not match the XPS 14 laptop listed on Dell’s web site. For example, the version on Dell’s website comes with a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M GPU and Core i7 processor.

We asked Microsoft about this discrepancy and were assured that the quoted savings are based on the supplied components.

“The discount of the sale price offered by Arvato (who operates the Microsoft online store) is based off the total recommended retail price of the components,” said a Microsoft spokesperson.
