Has anyone noticed that Dell sells an external foldable keyboad for the x3 which lists for $30.00 less than the x5 version? ($99 vs. $69). I can't see how they could manage to manufacture this for so much less. It makes me think the X5 price is grossly inflated. Is there something I'm missing?

yes, probably. the price of extras in the customize screen for almost any Dell product is always cheaper than each item is ala carte.

in the customize screen for the X5, the foldable keyboard should be $69, same as for the X3.

No, I was just searching a la carte, not looking to purchase a package. These are the list prices.
