dell xps m2010 laptop review
With the XPS M2010 model, Dell has rethought the concept of portable personal computer or laptop and went on creating a desktop replacement. For most users, a desktop replacement is a strong laptop bundled with the latest technologies and maybe a big monitor. Well, Dell thinks that when you open your laptop, it can transform into a stylish desktop.
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.
The media buttons glow blue on contact, and the eject button extends the optical drive from the base when pressed, creating an automating buzzing sound—and a very retro-futuristic Knight Rider feel. The monitor folds over the base and keyboard. Its hinge doubles as an extremely sturdy handle. When closed the whole unit resembles a large brief case, complete with a faux leather design.
The 1680 x 1050-pixel TrueLife glossy WSXGA+ display is quite crisp and perfect for DVDs or games. The speakers also handled the tasks of movies and music admirably, and we like that the system comes with Windows XP Media Center Edition. While the webcam’s picture quality was decent, it’s far from the best we’ve seen.

Thanks to ATI’s top-of-the line Mobility Radeon X1800 graphics, complete with 256MB of video memory, the dell XPS M2010 notched a very good but not quite stellar 3DMark03 score of 11,719, along with an unexceptional F.E.A.R. frame rate score of 28 fps at a 1024 x 768-pixel resolution on its autodetect setting. Gameplay looked just fine at this level, but keep in mind that the “cheaper” $4,215 configuration of the XPS M1710 turned in much higher 3DMark03 (18,319) and F.E.A.R. (104 fps) scores.
If you want to use the XPS M2010 to watch and record TV, you’ll need to fork over an additional $100 for an external tuner; we’d prefer it was built into the machine. The only thing that the Dell XPS M2010 doesn’t have as an option (at least not yet) is a Blu-ray drive, which would allow users to watch high-definition movies and back up as much as 50GB to a single disc. This isn’t a case of Dell being chintzy; Blu-ray technology simply isn’t available for thinner slot-loading drives yet. Dell anticipates that a Blu-ray drive will be an option by the end of the year.
dell xps m2010 battery detail:
- Chemistry: Li-ion
- Voltage: 14.8V
- Capacity: 6600mAh
- Color: Black
To summarize, the Dell XPS M2010 can also be dubbed as a multimedia briefcase mainly because of it s form and utility, but an 18.3 pound briefcase isn’t likely to be on everybody’s favorite list, unless you are Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[..] A little unrelated, but I absolutely liked this webpage post [..]
Adoro le slot machine, soprattutto quelle gratuite
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I Like this site your article is very nice , Thanks, very interesting article, keep up it coming
