The XPS M1710 includes a full-size keyboard, though it lacks a separate number pad, as found on some other desktop replacements, such as the Satellite P105-S921, the HP Pavilion dv8000, and the Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600. The XPS M1710’s mouse buttons are very big, however, and the touch pad, which features a backlit XPS logo, is adequately sized. The touch pad also has arrows running along its right and bottom edges, outlining where to place your finger when using the software-enhanced pad to scroll through documents or Web pages.

The silver case with black accents is bulky, but smart design cues, such as the screen’s thin black bezel, help maximize the system’s aesthetic qualities. The NX860XL measures 1.4 inches thick by 15.6 inches wide by 10.8 inches deep, including the extended battery, and weighs 8.5 pounds–a whopping 10.1 pounds with the A/C adapter. That’s not the heaviest desktop replacement we’ve seen–the current record holder is the 17.3-pound Acer Aspire 9800 (which makes sense, as it sports a 20-inch LCD). In the 17-inch camp, the Dell XPS M1710 is a bit heaver, at 8.8 pounds.
