The Dell XPS M2010 is a new breed of technology for portable entertainment or productivity. Sporting a unique design, the system’s multimedia features include a 20.1-inch, high-definition widescreen monitor, eight speakers plus a subwoofer, a detachable, full-sized Bluetooth wireless keyboard and gyroscope-enabled remote, a webcam and a slot-load DVD drive.The XPS M2010 is a huge step forward as far as design is concerned; an innovative concept that’s a hybrid of a desktop and notebook.

The Dell’s unconventional structure houses a 20.1in widescreen monitor, which is attached to the base via a hinge bar. This leather-bound hinge also acts as a sturdy handle for carrying the laptop.At 8.6kg, it’s far too heavy to carry around, even for short periods, but there’s no problem with moving it around the house or carrying it out to the car.The base has a hidden slot loading dual-layer DVD burner and an array of touch-sensitive, backlit volume and media keys.
The hinge raises it 2.5in above the base, so it’s positioned as standalone monitors normally are. This relieves neck strain caused by peering down at a notebook’s TFT panel.The glossy screen is ideal for watching movies and taking advantage of the included Windows XP Media Center operating system.

The Intel Core Duo T2600, a first-generation dual-core processor, running at 2.16GHz powers this laptop. It’s a fast processor, although the new Core 2 Duo models, due out on 28 August, will no doubt eclipse it.An ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 is the supplied graphics card and, while there are better cards out there, it is certainly up to the task of mainstream gaming and media playback. It will also be capable of running the advanced GUI features of Windows Vista, which is due early 2007.

The Dell XPS M2010’s design makes it initially look like a stylish briefcase with its “charcoal-colored outer shell, leather-like back and gloss accents”. The briefcase, when opened up via the anodized, articulating hinges, reveals a beautiful 20.1-inch widescreen SXGA+ display with 1680 x 1050 resolution. Attached at the bottom of this display is the actual CPU, housed in an attractive, relatively thin rectangle shaped case with integrated slot-loading DVD burner, as well as eight built-in speakers and a subwoofer.

As on a typical notebook, the M2010’s display and keyboard are all connected. The wireless Bluetooth keyboard detaches smoothly from the base of the system, which also acts as a charging station. You will need batteries, though, for the system’s Bluetooth mouse. A comfortable-to-use touchpad is located on the keyboard and sits between that and a number pad. Annoyingly, the keyboard and mouse frequently go to sleep, creating a slight pause upon wake-up.

Dell’s line of UltraSharp LCDs is highly regarded, and the XPS M2010’s glossy 20-inch (diagonal) display won’t tarnish its reputation. The display is quite bright; it scored an above-average 230cd/m² on our Minolta luminance meter, and its 1,680×1,050 native resolution offers a nice balance between detail and screen real estate. While most laptop displays can swing only open and shut, the XPS M2010’s is considerably more adjustable, able to sit at a 90-degree angle to the keyboard, be brought up to 10 inches inward, and tilt about 65 degrees upward. With eight speakers and a built-in subwoofer, the XPS M2010 can hold its own as a dedicated home stereo; it delivers rich, clear audio with more low-end sound than any other laptop we’ve seen, though it didn’t get as loud as we would have hoped.

Imagine a high-end performance desktop squeezed into the form factor of a notebook and you’ll get the Dell XPS M2010. However, its enlarged dimensions will stretch your idea of a notebook though Dell seems to be trying to de-emphasize the notebook aspect in its marketing. Decked out with the some of the best hardware components that would put gaming rigs to shame, it is an outstanding integration of form and function that shows off the company’s engineering and design prowess. It’s so unlike Dell’s typically faceless black boxes or their utilitarian but hardly sexy notebooks. In case you’re not convinced, how would you like to own one of these?

For storage Dell provides two 100GB hard drives configured in a RAID 0 (Striped) array which, although giving fast performance, doesn’t offer much in the way of data protection. But if that is your concern, there is an option for two 120GB drives in a RAID 1 (Mirrored) array (add £94 plus VAT). To offload data or backup files you can use the aforementioned optical drive, which is an 8-speed, dual format, dual layer DVD burner.

You also get Dell’s Premium XPS Service warranty included in the price, which lasts for 3 years and includes on-site and gaming support.
