The Dell X P S 15 sports s matte silver anodized aluminum lid that doesn’t pick up fingerprints, but it seems a bit dull. Fortunately, Dell offers 200 different Dell Studio lid patterns(an$85 add-on). On the plus side, we appreciate the small black bar that sticks out behind the lid, which has a back lit X P S logo that pulses when the system is asleep . we also like that the matte finish continues on the sides and bottom, areas to often ignored by other notebook makers.
