Dell XPS M2010 Review

I don’t think I would call the XPS M2010 a laptop. It has a 20.1 inch LCD, and eight speakers. Sounds more like a modular desktop or something to me, but Laptop Magazine reviewed it, and I figured if they can review it, then I can feature it here.

The XPS M2010’s massive 20.1-inch screen extends away from the system on a hinge, more closely resembling an external flat-screen monitor than the display of a traditional notebook. Located atop the screen is a webcam; eight speakers (four on each side) reside along the bottom of the display. The base measures 19.3 x 8.3 x 2 inches. It contains the CPU, all of the notebook’s ports, a subwoofer, and a pop-up slot-loading optical DVD drive. The power and media buttons are at the top, closest to the screen.

This system goes way beyond a desktop replacement in my mind, and not only that, but there does not seem to be too many sacrifices for those that own one. The beast of a machine even made it to three hours and twelve minutes of run time on its dual six cell battery. The real major issues I see for this laptop are some of the same that plague machines in the desktop replacement category. They are too heavy, usually too expensive, and for this one the TV tuner costs extra.

The XPS M2010 still manages to earn a four out of five thanks to having just about everything else you could want.
