The Dell XPS M1330 is proof that thin and light notebooks do not have to be underpowered. Running a full fledged Santa Rosa platform with a mobile GeForce 8 series GPU, the M1330 transcends notebook conventions and fuses everything you always wanted in an ultraportable into one sleek unit.

A good, solid small-business PC, which would be even more useful in a home office, where you might want entertainment and leisure services as well. Although the base price of £276 (£235 ex VAT) looks extremely attractive, bear in mind that to get to the specification reviewed here costs a lot more than that. As with all pick 'n' mix, you can end up paying more than you expected.

Dell raised the ante with its high-colour 30in LCD monitor. Is it really as good as it sounds? Let me spill the beans after using it for 5 months.

Dell is becoming a major supplier of printers in its own right and to offer a compact colour laser for a little over £220 puts it in direct competition with names like Canon, HP, Lexmark and Xerox. It's not just the initial price of the printer, though, that determines the overall cost of ownership.

Things have moved on a lot since then though and the 30in monitor market is far livelier. Apple is no longer the only competition in this sector, with Dell now having to compete with the likes of Samsung's superb SyncMaster 305T as well as the HP LP3065 (a full review of which will follow soon after this one). It therefore comes as no surprise that Dell has launched a new version of its 30in display, which represents the third generation of the product. But how does it stack up to the stiff competition?

And, though this is a new notebook with, among other things, an updated chipset and CPU, the actual chassis hasn't changed one iota since the D620. This will no doubt please the aforementioned IT Managers; hence the quote. Indeed, it should please the users too because the D620 was a great notebook, walking away with a Recommended award for its trouble. Can the D630 repeat the trick?

Filling the gap between Dell's 2407WFP and the 3707WFP is the 27-inch 2707WFP, a monitor that is both new and different.

This is getting silly. We've had a 24in displays for a while now, which is why both NEC and Acer have starting offering 26in displays. Dell however, was clearly a bit miffed that it, the company that introduced the concept of the large, affordable monitor, no longer had the biggest toy in town. As a response it's launched the 2707WFP, a 27in display. Boys will be boys.

This is a small, neat, very boxy personal laser, coloured in a two-tone black and dark metal finish that will see it fit into most home and business environments without shouting. The layout is conventional with a 250-sheet paper tray at the bottom, a single sheet feed slot above that and the output tray set into the printer's top surface.

Large monitors are in fashion big time, so why buy a monitor when you can have a showpiece? The 27-inch UltraSharp 2707WFP (634x243x442mm, 12.5kg) is more than a piece of office equipment; it's a stylish addition to your home or office. Its high-end aluminum, bezel glass and polished lines create an awe-inspiring display while its tilt, swivel or mount functionality adds to its overall experience. Seriously, the brushed aluminium (technically referred to as Artic Silver) bezel and solid glass base might look a little chunky, but the finish is exquisite. And when partnered with the optional clip-on AS501PA SoundBar (£30.55), the UltraSharp 2707WFP becomes a trendy general-purpose display just begging to connect to a next-generation HD device.

Dell's newest flat panel monitor raises the bar for productivity and PC gaming. The UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC sports an industry-leading 30-inch widescreen panel, and features a 92% colour gamut W-CCFL (Wide Cold-Cathode Fluorescent Lighting) backlight that delivers the latest in dynamic colour technology, making colours richer and enabling a more realistic multimedia experience. This glorious visual display comes at a price though - both in terms of financial outlay and desktop real-estate (690x200x470mm, 11.38kg).

Behemoth that Dell is, their market share has begun to shrink in the face of competition from the likes of HP and Apple. As we've seen, though, one area that Dell doesn't slack in is the quality of their monitors. And at a regular selling price of $1199, it needs to be high quality. Of course, Dell is constantly running promotions and coupons, so if you keep an eye on our Hot Deals page you should be able to get one for about $100 less. So how did the Dell 2707WFP fare after three weeks on my desk? Well, suffice to say the desk feels awfully small.

The Dell 30" UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC LCD replaced the old 30" display that carried the same model number, minus the "-HC" designation. The new display has the same gray-to-gray response time of 12ms but improves upon the color gamut that the screen can reproduce, hence the -HC (high color) designation of the new screen.

The speakers on each side of the TV are removable and optional; they don't actually come attached so you have to screw them on if you want to use them. If you always use your surround sound system while watching you might want to forgo the speakers altogether though if you do want to use the speaker's installation is very easy. Each speaker uses a two-way, bass reflex design and has 15W of power per channel.

The business section is basically divided into two series, Precision and Latitude. Precisions are more cutting edge technology, sacrificing some stability for the latest features, which might have some instability possibly caused by new drivers. Latitudes are the more conventional choice for businesses offering increased stability due to being built on a proven platform. Today we have the pleasure of reviewing the Latitude D820 series which falls into the high-end of the Latitude range and it's our very first of many new notebook reviews here at TweakTown. While this notebook is listed under Dell's business section it actually boasts some nice features for an entertainment system, including a WUXGA display (that is 1900x1200 pixels to you and me) and HD audio.
