Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
When you think of innovation, Dell isn’t the first company you’re likely to think of. After all, it’s built its business on being aggressive in established markets rather than exploring new ones. Which makes the Dell XPS M2010 even more of a curiosity. Not only is Dell breaking new ground with a completely new take on the notebook form fact it’s also the first machine we’ve seen with a 20-inch screen. (Out of interest, Acer is the only other company at the moment to offer this panel size, on the Aspire 7000 series.) Quality of the 20-inch Super-TFT screen is excellent, and displays at a WSXGA+ resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels. Is there any bad news involved here? Well, you’ll find that the asking price for this piece of innovation is £2299 (inc. VAT). Not exactly within most people’s price range but then again this isn’t a machine to suit everyone. If you need a desktop PC in a semi-mobile form factor, this is the height of style and so unique, you’re likely to be the only person in the neighbourhood with one.

Dell is shifting the focus of its XPS systems from performance and gaming to innovative design and luxury. And this XPS M2010 is the most daring of the new range, billed as the ultimate entertainment centre. The design is sublime: the screen moves lithely over the base unit and tilts to any practical position on two sturdy arms. Then there's the slot-loading DVD writer in the centre, which whirrs up with a pleasing action and sound. The full-sized desktop keyboard complete with touchpad detaches smoothly and seamlessly switches over to Bluetooth, before recharging once slotted back in. Luxurious extras and design make this a highly desirable machine. It's ideal if space is at a premium at home;

80% Dell XPS M2010 desktop replacement
Source: vnunet.com English Archive.org version
Dell, better known for developing sturdy and rather mundane notebooks, has taken us aback with this visually stunning desktop replacement. 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. It certainly has a wow factor and impressed many, though not all, in our labs. 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.

Dell XPS M2010
Source: Bios Magazine English Archive.org version
More consumers than ever are using their home PCs to manage digital photos, edit digital videos, watch DVDs or play games. Dell’s XPS products, when combined with TVs, flat panel displays and projectors, make these experiences richer and more enjoyable. At the moment, it seems no other company listens to its customers better than Dell. Every once in a while a laptop design blows us away with its visionary concept and bold design. Grand in every sense of the word, Dell’s XPS M2010 is just such a system. On first inspection, the big machine resembles a full-fledged desktop, yet it closes gracefully and can be carried like a huge clamshell laptop (with a handle). The one caveat: it’s too pricey for most mere mortals. Nevertheless, the XPS M2010 will be regarded by most as a dream machine. And as an added bonus, the system’s 12-cell, 112-Wh battery should last a little over 3 hours. Amazing!

Dell XPS M2010 - Mobile Entertainment PC (Centrino Duo)
Source: Hardware Zone English Archive.org version
It's not easy being king of the hill. Despite being the largest and one of the most profitable computer manufacturers worldwide, Dell does not have the charisma of an Apple, the blue-blooded reputation of IBM or the glamour of Sony. What it does offer to consumers are attractive all-year-round discounts due to the lower costs sustained by its direct sales model and excellent supply chain management. Judging from its success, this business model works but Dell just does not inspire the same kind of brand loyalty that Apple or Sony can. The company's recent acquisition of enthusiast oriented PC boutique firm - Alienware -may be a sign that Dell is aware of its relatively bland image and aims to broaden its appeal to this niche.

The Dell XPS M2010 is a wonderful piece of technology that packs great features. The very, very peppered price and the huge size make it desirable only for those to whom money is not an issue and who want to astound no matter the price. For the rest, two solutions are available: 1) look and weep and 2) win the lottery. Our marks for the Dell XPS M2010 are 8.8 for design and 8.5 for the tech specs.

Every once in a while I get a notebook that blows me away with its visionary concept and bold design. Grand in every sense of the word, the Dell XPS M2010 ($4,675 direct) is just such a system. On first inspection, the big machine resembles a full-fledged desktop, yet it closes gracefully and can be carried like a huge clamshell notebook (with a handle). The one caveat: It's too pricey for most mere mortals. As a laptop expert, I applaud the genius it takes to fit a powerful PC into a small 3.5-pound chassis. So you can imagine my reaction when this 18.1-pound behemoth with a 20.1-inch widescreen landed on my bench. The closest thing that comes to mind is the old Acer Aspire 1712, a transportable that used a desktop LCD and weighed 14 pounds.

With the XPS M2010, Dell has forgotten completely why laptops were invented in the first place. And that's a good thing--or at least an interesting thing. The company has packed an impressive multimedia experience into a form factor that's far more portable and self-contained than any other desktop PC's and considerably less compromised than that of other laptops that make do with smaller displays, cramped keyboards, and minimized feature sets. Unfortunately, with a base price of $3,500, the XPS M2010 is also about as expensive as a semester at a state college; the target market here is clearly those for whom money is no object.

With its plethora of media-oriented features, the M1210 is probably the best 2kg entertainment notebook on the market. But it also has just about every laptop feature that a consumer or small-business shopper could want, plus power, ease of use and a road-friendly weight. If you're looking for top comfort and full features in an ultraportable, you'll find them in the M1210.

Only a few ultraportables equal the combination of performance and features found on the Dell XPS M1210 (Vista), priced at $2,300 direct. The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 (Vista) and the Sony VAIO SZ Series, which do, are both darlings of the marketplace, which tells you the type of company the M1210 keeps. When you buy an XPS laptop, you're getting a special Dell "first-class" service contract, along with all the bells and whistles, such as the integrated optical drive, discrete graphics, and Windows Vista Ultimate.

75% Dell XPS M1210 (Vista Ultimate)
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
High-end components and performance are generally restricted to midsize and larger laptops, so it's always nice to see a smaller system aimed at power users. The $2,329 Dell XPS M1210 (configurations start at $1,299) makes the move to Windows Vista, combining power and portability in a package that lives on the outskirts of the ultraportable category. While it's not for hard-core gamers, those who need above-average performance in a compact system won't mind paying a premium for this unique road-worthy hybrid. The 12.1-inch wide-screen display leads us to call the M1210 an ultraportable laptop, but its 4.9-pound weight (5.2 pounds with the AC adapter) is closer to a laptop in the thin-and-light category, such as the Sony VAIO C150. Measuring 11.7 inches wide by 8.7 inches deep by 1.2 inches high, it's slightly bulkier than your average ultraportable, but still well suited for a daily commute.

Dell's XPS M1210 laptop PC - Ultrapowerful ultraportable
Source: Techreport English Archive.org version
The XPS M1210 is a fast, flexible machine that lives up to the size, weight, and battery life requirements of a true ultraportable laptop computer. It's also stylish, well built, and has the best keyboard and touchpad combination of any laptop I've ever used. It's a premium product, and as you might expect, it comes at a premium price. I configured an M1210 at Dell's website more or less as we tested it, and the total rang up to a dizzying $2,238—and ours is missing options like Bluetooth, Nvidia graphics, and a mobile broadband card! Once you've picked your jaw up off the floor, realize that much of that price tag is CPU. The top two speed grades of the mobile Core 2 Duo command a healthy markup. I was able to drop the price by $425 simply by moving down to a Core 2 Duo T7200 with a 2GHz clock speed and 4MB of L2 cache. That alone takes the total down to $1,813. If you're willing to compromise more on features and performance, you can drive the price down even further.

Dell XPS M1210 with Core 2 Duo Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The Dell XPS M1210 is the smallest notebook in Dell’s high-performance XPS line. With the discontinuation of the 710M, the M1210 is also the only 12.1” consumer notebook that Dell offers. The M1210 is a compact multimedia machine with remarkable power for its small size. Of course, the price reflects this above-average performance. This laptop is far and away the current best value for its size and power. It boasts the most powerful GPU and CPU available for the ultraportable family combined with great features like the integrated webcam and microphone, MediaDirect, dual headphone jacks, Wi-Fi Catcher, and more. I am extremely happy with my purchase. However, in the future I would like to see Dell improve the speaker quality and possibly change the material used on the lid so it does not attract quite so many fingerprints.

Dell - XPS M1210 review
Source: IT Reviews English Archive.org version
When you think of Dell's XPS family you automatically think of big, powerful desktops or equally big gaming laptops, but the XPS M1210 bucks this trend by being a small, seemingly ultra-portable machine. But it's a bulky little devil weighing in at 2.65kg, so not quite the ultra-portable it appears, but then again that's with the 9-cell battery (you can opt for the smaller, lighter, 6-cell battery option) and the AC adapter. Stylishly finished in silver and black, with apparently good build quality, the XPS M1210 looks unlike any other Dell laptop currently available, certainly not as brash as its big brother, the XPS M1710. Although the XPS M1210 isn't as svelte as most of the 12.1-inch screen notebooks on the market, it is one of the most powerful and useable, if a little pricey.

Dell XPS M1210 with Core 2 Duo Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
"Battery Life, Performance, Size". It is often said that for a notebook computer, you can only take 2 and compromise on the last attribute. With the XPS M1210, Dell managed to find a nice harmony of all three. Great things do come in little packages, and this is certainly the case here. Armed with the dual-core 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor and a capable nVidia discrete graphics option, it is ready for Windows Vista. The "A/V Communications Package" is a definite winner here, Dell did not skimp on quality and implemented a Logitech unit, and the integration of the WWAN antenna means that it is ready for the road. The robust aluminium-magnesium alloy chassis construction shows that it is ready for you to take it anywhere.

And our test machine's solid battery life should give you ample time to spend an afternoon telecommuting at the local coffee shop or watching an in-flight DVD: The M1210 lasted 4 hours, 23 minutes on a nine-cell battery.

Source: Pocket Lint English Archive.org version
Dell has been successfully touting its gaming laptops for the last couple of years, taking on all comers both here and in the States and pretty much made the market its own – so much so that it’s even bought the main competitor, Alienware. The premise behind this victory has been to offer cutting-edge gaming machines at a reasonable price. If you approach this notebook as a lightweight media centre rather than a portable gamer, you won’t go too wrong. After all, you simply can’t get a more powerful GPU in so small a machine. With that in mind, we really liked this machine, especially with the extra battery, so you can do more when out and about.

Source: Strike Mobile English Archive.org version
Although bigger for an ultraportable, the Dell XPS M1210 is packed with so many features that the ultraportables usually don't have. A nice array of ports and connections, an optical drive and a long lasting battery life. Although branded as a multimedia machine, the loudspeakers will leave a bitter taste in your mouth and Dell could have mounted something better on this machine. The touchpad and the mouse buttons are a little bit cramped but this was expected from a laptop this size. The overall performance of the Dell XPS M1210 is astounding and we award the machine with an 8.5 for the design and a9 for the tech specs.

Put simply, the XPS M1210 is the most powerful and feature-packed 12.1-inch notebook we've seen. This sleek 4.8-pound system combines a dual-core processor with a 256MB discrete graphics card, plus integrated mobile broadband and a built-in webcam. Throw in Dell's top-notch service for XPS customers and you have one of the best thin-and-light notebooks of the year, albeit at a steep price of $2,356. Dell's sexy thin-and-light is the perfect combination of style and power. Pop the black top on this mini Media Center notebook, and you're greeted with a dazzling gray-and-silver color scheme. Despite its demure (11.7 x 8.7 x 1.2 inches) size, the M1210 offers a well-spaced keyboard that doesn't leave you feeling cramped when typing. The only thing we don't like about it is that the Page Up key is too close to the right Shift key.

Dell’s next-generation ultra-portable laptop has landed, and it’s very good indeed. Succeeding the Inspiron 710m, the XPS M1210 has been designed for the mobile professional, with a host of features and blistering performance. Made of highly durable magnesium alloy frame, and sporting a built-in 1.3-Megapixel Web camera and 3G connectivity (integrated mobile broadband antenna), the XPS M1210 is more than road ready. The XPS M1210 is one of the best general ultra-portable laptops we’ve reviewed. Starting at about 2kg, it’s also a lightweight traveller that you can take virtually anywhere. But don’t let the size fool you - the XPS M1210 is a true high-performance PC offering dual-core performance and up to 8 hours of mobile use using the optional 9-cell Lithium-Ion battery. And it offers a feature set that’s a cut above that of most ultra-portables, which usually sacrifice some features for portability.

I've had just a ton of fun with the M1210. I get to play with a lot of notebooks with the work I do, and believe it or not that can actually get tedious when you see one laptop after the other that's just kind of the same. The M1210 is different though, it's a 12.1" laptop that's designed to be powerful and fun. You can game on it, comfortably watch and listen to movies on it, use it to record video, be highly mobile and connected with the EVDO option and to top it all off the look is really great. I love the black lid and blue accent lights.

It is a rare and exciting experience—at least for me—to bring an ultraportable on a business flight, let alone one as travel-friendly as the Dell XPS M1210 ($2641direct, as tested). Luckily, I just happened to have a trip planned the same time the M1210 came into PC Magazine Labs. The M1210 is light enough to carry around comfortably and powerful enough to get all my work done. Even with a nine-cell 84-Wh battery, the unit weighs a mere 5 pounds. (The AC adapter adds another 0.8 pounds.) You can opt for the six-cell battery and bring the unit's weight down to 4.2 pounds, but with discrete graphics and the power it consumes, I highly recommend going with the extended cell.

It's difficult to know what to make of the Dell XPS M1210. On the one hand, its 12.1-inch wide-screen display is characteristic of an ultraportable laptop, such as the Gateway NX100X. On the other hand, its 4.4-pound starting weight places it in line with thin-and-lights that have larger displays, such as the 13.3-inch Sony VAIO SZ or the 14.1-inch Fujitsu LifeBook S7110. Like the Lenovo 3000 V100, the XPS M1210 offers a feature set that's a cut above that of most ultraportables, which usually sacrifice some features for portability. Though our test unit includes upgrades that more than double the price, at its $1,300 starting price, the M1210 will appeal to everyday users who want a relatively light and compact but still full-featured Media Center computer.

Dell - XPS M1710 review
Source: IT Reviews English Archive.org version
The M1710 (N04XPS7) is the bigger brother of the M1210 and, just like its smaller sibling, it's very different in appearance to the rest of the Dell laptop range. It's powerful, too; Dell has upped the ante on gaming notebook performance with the XPS M1710. Yes it's expensive, but you get an awful lot of laptop for your money, a machine that can hold its own with a great number of desktop PCs out there.

Dell XPS M1710 v2.0 - Special Edition Formula Red
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
When we initially agreed to take a look at Dell's latest version of the XPS M1710 notebook, we were a little hesitant since we had reviewed the older version of the notebook last summer and awarded it a coveted Editor's Choice award. At first glance, it seemed as though there was little that could possible change since the chassis and overall design remained untouched. Regardless, we opted to give the new version of the machine a chance and see for ourselves the difference a few months could make in the lifecycle of a mobile platform.

As a desktop-replacement heavyweight, the Dell is much more likely to be carried from one AC outlet to another than perched on an airplane tray table. Even so, its 9-cell lithium-ion battery performed adequately: Depending on how disk-intensive and multimedia-oriented they were, our combined office-productivity and playtime sessions lasted from two and a quarter to two and a half hours. A spare battery pack is a $99 option. You can configure a potent, powerful XPS M1710 -- with the same big, high-resolution screen, almost-as-sizzling Nvidia GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics, and an anything-but-sluggish Core 2 Duo T7200 or T7400 -- for under $2,500. For that matter, as mentioned above, you can slash $275 from our test system's price by ordering Intel's top-of-the-line Core 2 Duo T7600 with no overclocking hot sauce.

Don't buy extra warrenty, dell is crap for support. They are based in inida for support and you can't understand them. Also when I rang them up with a problem with my media direct, they made me download the wrong software which did not work at all. The support is rubbish and also our paying for it. i think it was a 0800 number, this costs.

Being the centerpiece of your gaming room is apparently not enough for the Dell—it wants to take over your living room too. The Dell XPS M1710 (Blu-ray) ($4,249 direct) becomes only the second laptop to integrate a built-in BD-RE drive for watching all your high-definition Blu-ray content, as well as burning it. And Dell didn't forget about gaming. The previous M1710 (Core 2 Duo) put up some of the best frame rates on our benchmark tests, and now Dell is looking to top that with the latest graphics card from nVidia, the GeForce Go 7950GTX.

Dell's latest update to its monster XPS M1710 desktop replacement may not warrant an entirely new model number, but the changes are deep enough to deserve a fresh look. The system earns gaming props for being the first laptop to carry Nvidia's latest mobile GPU, the GeForce Go 7950 GTX. Also of note: Dell, in an unusual move for a mainstream PC maker, practically encourages buyers to overclock the 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo T7600G processor. Let's not forget the multicolored lights built into the speaker grilles, air vents, and lid, which play along with music apps and select games (Dell calls it XPS LightFX technology). The $3,498 system is a budget-buster to be sure, but one that's hard to top if you're looking for a top-of-the-line desktop replacement for gaming. If you're willing to sacrifice a little gaming performance for cash, the Gateway NX860XL is worth a look.

Earlier this year we reviewed Dell’s XPS M1710 and liked what we saw. In terms of design, not much has changed, but this time around Dell gave this 8.8-pound gaming rig a faster, more powerful processor and is now offering it with an 802.11n wireless network adapter and a wireless-N router bundle that is sure to make a big splash at your next LAN party. Unfortunately, only those with the deepest pockets will be able to afford this $3,783 powerhouse. We received the Special Edition Formula Red model, but you can order the XPS with the more subtle Metallic Black shell. The shiny, silver-and-red lid sports a Dell logo in its center, and the two XPS logos on either side of the lid are accented by red backlighting, as are the fans and speaker grills.

The gaming gods have smiled on Dell's gaming notebook once again. It was only earlier this year that the Dell XPS M1710 (with the Intel Core Duo processor, code-named "Yonah") grabbed our Editors' Choice by being a performance demon and a gaming champ. The summer isn't even over, and the M1710 is already getting a processor transplant, adding the new 2.33-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo R7600 processor (code-named "Merom"). And if you think that's nice, the newly implanted draft 802.11n wireless chip is promising faster throughput (up to 270 Mbps) than the 802.11g standard. Dell is even including a Netgear draft-n router with your purchase. Thus, the M1710 model retains its Editors' Choice for a gaming laptop, sitting pretty at the top of the "portable" gaming throne.

With the newest configurations of the XPS M1710, Dell adds Intel's Core 2 Duo processor to its market-leading and CNET Editors' Choice-winning gaming machine. (Also new with this iteration is a built-in Draft 802.11n wireless adapter; some versions of the XPS M1710 will ship with a compatible 802.11n router.) The new processor brings remarkable application speed to the already-powerful XPS M1710 and extends its battery life--both good things. But with the same graphics card as its predecessor, this new version of the XPS M1710 doesn't realize any gains in gaming performance.

Dell Inspiron XPS M1710
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
Every so often a piece of kit comes along that just blows you away. We've seen Dell's Inspiron XPS laptops before and they've been impressive. The latest, the M1710, really is something else. The design won't be to everyone's taste - we'd have preferred fewer red lights on the sides of the chassis – but will doubtless appeal to many. The keyboard layout is neat: none of the keys have been squashed, and there's plenty of room to rest your wrists. The Inspiron M1710 is a cracking laptop with top-notch components, although the design might not suit everyone. It's faster than anything we've seen, so if you want a desktop replacement with serious power, look no further. However, you'll have to have deep pockets.

The Dell XPS M1710 clearly runs the Merom T7400 without much problem. It boots fine, and there was no system instability I encountered during testing. So it looks promising that the M1710 will be able to take the new Core 2 Duos, hopefully with just a BIOS flash. Not every test showed an improvement where improvements were seen previously on the Asus Z96JS. This all indicates the need of an update on the XPS M1710 as some tests even showed a decrease in performance. Finally, and probably the most important for XPS M1710 owners, there was a significant increase in game performance when going from the factory installed T2600 to the Core 2 Duo T7400 at lower resolutions. However, the differences between the two CPUs diminish as you increase the screen resolution. Since the XPS M1710 is capable of high resolution gaming, I don't see the point in upgrading a CPU solely for playing games.

The following is a summary of a more detailed look at the Dell M1710 Metallic Black Armor edition laptop. If you want to see more details including temperatures, battery life, display and audio comparisons, and of course lots of benchmarks, then I strongly suggest jumping to the full article. This laptop is sweet and I think it deserves a thorough read. The most successful company in gaming laptops is undoubtedly Dell. The popularity of their XPS series gaming notebook is truly astounding and the proof can be seen in many different notebook forums around the Internet today and the buzz preceding a new product launch. On April 18th, NVIDIA launched their next iteration of mobile GPU with the GeForce Go 7900 GTX and GeForce Go 7900 GS (see our coverage for more detail), with it was a new Dell XPS notebook: the XPS M1710.

Taking a step back and looking at the Dell XPS M1710, it is easy to see why this system should be considered one of the most exceptional notebooks available on the market today. Equipped with the fastest mobile components money can buy, the XPS notebook offers unbelievable performance in nearly any benchmark. Somewhat surprisingly, the advanced efficiency features of that hardware results in very respectable battery life for a notebook of this caliber. Add to that the unique customizable aesthetic and relatively low ~8lb weight and you have what could be the ideal combination of size, speed, and performance for a power user notebook.

Dell's XPS M1710 is the notebook for the power desktop user who's ready to go (sort of) mobile. Packed with high-performance hardware, it's one of the fastest notebooks we've tested. But neither its price nor its weight is for the weak of heart. Our shipping unit-priced at $3860-came with a 2.16-GHz Core Duo T2600 processor, 1GB of RAM, nVidia's top-of-the-line 7900 GTX graphics chip (with 512MB of memory), a 100GB hard drive, and a DVD burner. That's a solid component list, and the M1710 put all that hardware to good use on our WorldBench 5 tests-its score of 106 tied with that of our previous top-performing power notebook, Alienware's Aurora m7700.

Is Dell's XPS M1710 The Fastest Graphics Notebook Ever?
Source: Mobility Guru English Archive.org version
It's certainly the fastest we've tested, but, we don't think it's the fastest ever. We're anxious to test notebooks with SLI-based graphics solutions, such as those from Widow PC and Eurocom. Based on our findings with desktop SLI cards, we would expect that SLI will add 30% to gaming performance and 60% higher resolutions, but that remains to be seen. The good news is that our rant about gaming notebook vendors resulted in a great reaction from a few vendors. We'll soon be receiving evaluation models of some of their high end notebooks with dual core AMD processors and SLI capability. We can't wait.

The Dell XPS M1710 is the latest premium gaming notebook from Dell that replaces the current XPS M170. The M1710 has a 17" widescreen and comes in a choice of two colors, "formula red" or "metallic black". If you like to do serious gaming or simply have the fastest notebook money can buy right now, this notebook is for you! The conclusion is quite simple for the M1710: If this were the state fair and the contest were for best performance notebook, then the blue ribbon would go to the XPS M1710. The coolest thing being, you could even adjust the lights on the M1710 to blue to match that ribbon!

Say what you will about market leader Dell (and many have), but with its top-shelf XPS line, the company has consistently put out distinctive laptops that feature the most advanced components on the market. Despite its recent acquisition of niche player Alienware, Dell sticks to the script with the newest iteration of its flagship gaming laptop. With the XPS M1710, the company adds just a few aesthetic curlicues to the same basic form factor found on Dell's other 17-inch wide-screen models, upgrades to Intel's Core Duo platform, and drops in Nvidia's new top-shelf GeForce Go 7900 GTX GPU. The unsurprising result: an extremely pricey system that extends the company's dominance of our gaming benchmark tests and solidifies Dell's reputation as the vendor to beat in the gaming laptop market.

Advertised as a gaming notebook, the Dell XPS M1710 with its high-resolved 17" screen, the fast Core Duo processor and GeForce Go 7900 GS must show in our test whether the promises are true.

GAMER'S DARLING. Dell XPS is quasi a synonym for high-performance multimedia notebooks. It is very interesting, that there is also a 12 inch notebook available, that is Dell's XPS M1210 with Core 2 Duo CPU and a Geforce 7400 video card, which is suitable for games.

Premium? A long time rumors about the succession of the slim Adamo series flew thick and fast. Now, we know the official answer: Adamo turns into Dell XPS -z. The 15-inch model of the new slim aluminium laptops is already under review. Here are the first results.
83% Review Dell XPS 15z Notebook | Notebookcheck
The good years are past. Dell has put its XPS range on a diet and re-places the result as the XPS z-series. You wouldn't quite believe that it is a successor of the exclusive Adamo, which was considered to be an opponent of the MacBook Air at the time. Be that as it may, connoisseurs of good design will nevertheless be satisfied.

This particular configuration of the Dell XPS 15z will set you back by Rs.84,900, which makes it quite expensive and definitely a premium notebook. Having said that, we will say that you won’t be disappointed with this notebook. The design, finish and the attention given to every detail are impeccable and we can see why they’ve priced it this high. If you are on the look-out for a premium grade notebook, then the XPS 15z is a very good option to start with.

Dell XPS 15z Review: Kinda Luxurious
Source: PC Perspective English Archive.org version
The XPS 15z can’t hang with the design of such stiff competition, though that doesn’t mean it should be written off. There are always some buyers who will value hardware bang-for-the-buck above all else, and people with this mindset will want to give the XPS 15z a serious look. As mentioned earlier, an Envy 15 with similar equipment is several hundred more - and a base MacBook Pro 15" goes for $500 more than this Dell. Some consumers will find it difficulty to justify paying more for similar hardware.

Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
The Dell is equally comfortable as a desktop replacement or a travelling companion, though perhaps at over 2.5kg you might not want to carry it around for long periods too often. The price tag of almost £1200 is high, but despite our reservations about the keyboard, the overly reflective glossy display and the positioning of USB ports, the Dell XPS 15z is a good all-rounder – especially with entertainment-focused tasks. But in overall build quality, security or the fine attention to all the details, an Apple MacBook Pro it ain't.

This unit does tend to heat up after prolonged use, with some of the heat making its way onto some sections of the palmrest area - a point to keep in mind for users who plan to use it on their laps in a non air-conditioned environment. Moreover, while I do like the overall design, the option of having excluded a dedicated numpad in favour of oversized audio grills, which at the end of the day don't really give that great a performance either, was rather ill conceived - I do value form, but only as long as it doesn’t sacrifice on functionality. Also, Dell doesn’t allow you an easy access to the innards, which given this units price tag, should have been an included feature, and one which would have been much appreciated.

The Dell XPS 15z is priced at Rs. 81,800 and comes pre-loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium. If you’re only going by the specs, the Dell Vostro is a cheaper purchase, but as with XPS laptops, you’re paying premium bucks for the looks, build and the overall feel of the laptop. So, if these things do matter to you, then the Dell XPS 15z is definitely worth the buy.

Certainly, the 15z’s base pricing of £899 appeals, particularly for those who prefer Windows or are OS-indifferent. It’s also easily portable at 2.5kg, despite packing in enough top-end components to make it a machine you could use without frustration day-to-day. It isn’t exactly a revolution in laptop design, but it balances aesthetics, performance and price handily enough.

The XPS 15z impresses in most areas and falls short in a just a few. Its thin metal chassis has excellent quality and the 1080p display is top notch. Performance is stellar for most applications including some gaming and it still manages over six hours of battery life. The biggest downside of this notebook is the lifeless keyboard, which just isn't fun to type on. Additionally the speakers could be better, the screen's glossy surface creates a lot of reflections, and upgrading this notebook is very tough. Then there's a matter of price; the XPS 15z starts at $999 but ours came out to a tick over $2,000 stocked with top-shelf components. The base notebook is almost certainly the better value; just make sure you get the 1080p display. The XPS 15z is certainly a recommendable notebook; if the keyboard were better, it would be almost perfect.

Dell XPS 15z: Sincerely Flattering
Source: AnandTech English Archive.org version
You can call the XPS 15z whatever you want. Is it a cheap knockoff of the MacBook Pro 15? Yes, but that’s just it: it’s a lot less expensive for a similar experience. The MacBook Pro 15 still wins out on build quality, and it packs a quad-core CPU. For the price, however, the XPS 15z is still a very nice laptop—and I know quite a few people that have already purchased the 15z for their own use.

Cool but perhaps not stylish, the Dell XPS 15z is a premium model with some great hits and a few misses. Battery life saw the system survive for a hair under four hours with Wi-Fi on and web-centric actual use. Not terrible, but considering some of the all-day results we've been seeing from some units these days, it's behind the curve a little.

80% Dell XPS 15z (Microsoft)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Although it's priced to move, the Dell XPS 15z (Microsoft) is no poor man's MacBook Pro. Its high-grade aluminum enclosure is every bit as luxurious as that of its nemesis, while its parts can breeze through any piece of software—yet it won't cost you nearly as much. Buying from the Microsoft Store means that this laptop is stripped of most of the third-party software and includes free (but limited) technical support—that's the only thing that distinguishes this version from those bought elsewhere. But the 15z is a highly rated desktop replacement no matter you buy it.

Starting first with the build quality of the XPS 15z we have system which impresses from the moment we unbox it. The large, curved anodized aluminium sheets which make up the top and bottom of the system look and feel great while offering a sturdy feel to the system. Dell have also chosen a good screen for use with the system, one which offers decent brightness, detail and viewing angles which are well above most midrange systems.

Despite some niggling issues, we've come away modestly impressed with the XPS 15z. The notebook's design may not be original (far from it), but the end result is an elegant-looking machine that's thin, light and armed with plenty of power beneath the hood. Build quality could and perhaps should be better, but Dell has managed to deliver a lot of performance-per-pound in a visually-attractive PC.

Let's hope that the XPS 15z proves to be a turning point for Dell, signaling a new direction for Dell consumer product design and engineering in general, rather than a niche "high style" brand that will represent only a small fraction of the company's consumer sales. Perhaps in two or three years, the Dell lineup will consist entirely of sleek, stylish, well-built models with great features and reasonable prices. And we'll say, "You know, it all started with that XPS 15z." Regardless of how things turn out, this is one of the best laptops Dell has made in a long time. It has its quirks, and it's not a great value in its higher-priced configurations, but it hits all the right notes. It's good enough to make me look forward to the future models of the XPS z-series, and to hope that the sensibilities that produced this laptop find expression throughout Dell's product lines.

There is a lot to like about the Dell XPS 15z; primarily, it has a good configuration, strong build quality, a Full HD screen and a good price ($1698 at the time of writing). However, its keyboard is awful; it is perhaps the worst keyboard we've ever seen on a Dell laptop. We're also not fans of the design, which looks a little tacky — especially the ribbed hinges and chrome trim.

The XPS 15z's current UK launch price of £1,200 doesn't seem too steep when you consider that it has few competitors, and the specifications it packs into its slim metal shell - though we really hope a Blu-ray drive and SSD option will be offered in the future.

Claiming to be the world's thinnest Windows laptop, the Dell XPS 15z is a sharp-looking package with upgradable high-end features and a reasonable $999 starting price.

These two laptops are not equals, but they never had to be -- for hundreds upon hundreds of dollars less than the Mac competition, Dell's unleashed an attractive, powerful and definitely desirable Windows PC. It's perhaps desirable enough to woo buyers who prefer Windows but love the Mac aesthetic. We suspect that's Dell's plan here, because while we really appreciate the XPS 15z's metal construction and choice parts, it hasn't really changed the game.

The Dell XPS 15z addresses the two major concerns we had with the XPS 15, namely, bulk and endurance. This slimmed-down system has a more elegant, streamlined look and measures less than an inch thick. Plus, you get 6 hours of battery life. Our only major complaint is that the keyboard doesn't feel as comfortable as it should and that it's hard to see the letters when the backlight is off. Is the $1,534 asking price worth it when you can get a similarly configured XPS 15 with Blu-ray for $1,299? Yes, if you're willing to pay more for portability. Besides, our XPS 15z is still less expensive than the 15-inch MacBook Pro. That machine offers longer battery life but starts at $1,799. Bottom line: If you're shopping for a Windows notebook, the XPZ 15z is one of the better 15-inch machines that money can buy.

As awe-inspiring as the XPS 15 is, it was neither thin nor light enough to compete on the same level as the Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (Thunderbolt). Dell had the answer in its now-defunct Adamo line and applied it to the XPS 15z. I wouldn't call it the thinnest 15-inch laptop on the planet, but it can definitely give the MacBook Pro a run for its money in terms of thinness and looks. Its speed and battery scores lived up to expectation, but more importantly, you pay significantly less than what you would for the MacBook Pro 15-inch.

Comment

Dell: Dell is a U.S. manufacturer (based in Texas) of computer hardware founded in 1984 and is one of the largest international manufacturers in terms of both market share and notebook models. Its product line includes desktops, notebooks, storage systems, monitors, servers, printers, consumer electronics and peripherals. Dell offers laptops that are suitable for various applications, such as business laptops, gaming laptops, ultra portables and workstations. Dell's business laptops from the Latitude and Precision series are an option for professional users and businesses.

In 2023, Dell had an approximate 17% market share of global PC sales, ranking #3 after Lenovo and HP.

For gaming enthusiasts, Dell's Alienware brand is for gaming notebooks.


Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

ATI Mobility Radeon X1800: The ATI Mobility Radeon X1800 is a reduced version of the X1800XT with still a high current consumption.

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400: The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 the competitor to the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Caution there are some versions with reduced momry bus available.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GTX: GeForce Go 7900 GTX is the predecessor of the 7950 GTX and has still a very good DirectX 9 performance. 

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS: This is the smaller version of the 7900 GTX with less shader- and vertex-pipelines and less current consumption. Nevertheless it is not apt for small notebooks. The performance is near to the 7800 GTX, but needs clearly less energy. It was used in 17" notebooks, because of heat issues.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M: Based on the GeForce GT 425M with slightly higher core clock speeds.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

T2600: Second fastest Core Duo based on the Yonah core. Does not support 64 Bit operating systems.

Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).

The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.

T7200: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

2620M: Very fast Dual-core processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. 

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


17.00: This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


2 kg:

9 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.


81.21%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
