Dell today launched three new PC systems in its XPS high-performance line, including a 20-inch widescreen "entertainment PC," a redesigned gaming desktop system and a new ultramobile notebook computer. The company also announced a new widescreen flat-panel monitor.
The XPS M2010 (pictured) was launched at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, and includes a 20.1-inch high-definition widescreen monitor, eight speakers (plus subwoofer), a Bluetooth keyboard, bundled Skype software, integrated Webcam and slot-loaded keyboard. The system actually becomes portable – the hinges that support the display double as a handle when the M2010 is closed. The system starts at $3,500 and is available now.
The XPS M120 weighs 4.37 pounds and includes a 12.1-inch widescreen display. Starting at $1,300, the system includes an optional audio-video communication package with Skype software, integrated Webcam, noise-isolation earbuds and optional mobile broadband access.
The XPS 700 gaming system supports NVIDIA Quad-SLI graphics, AGEIA PhysX physics accelerators and the latest Intel dual-core processors, Dell says. The system starts at $2,310, with a special-edition formula red model starting at $2,410.
The $949 2407WFP widescreen flat panel model includes a 24-inch screen, a 6-millisecond response time, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and two integrated media card slots (nine formats supported). The display also includes four USB 2.0 ports, S-video connections, composite, component and DVI with HDCP interfaces as well.
