    meanwhile on the Dell website

    EDIT: $100 of that difference comes from Win11 requiring an SSD upgrade from 512GB to 1TB

            I think that might be losing a $100 discount from the other configuration, possibly because they have excess smaller drives that don’t meet win11 requirements?
