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!

If the D620 is anything to go by, Dell's new Latitude range will be a force to be reckoned with, offering great specification and impressive performance at a very affordable price. And once Dell starts to offer the integrated 3G module as an option, these machines will become even more desirable. Ultimately, Dell is getting ever closer to the ThinkPad in every respect, and anyone who's about to sanction a business notebook rollout should give serious thought to the D620...

Dell's latest mobile workstation, the Precision M90 (from £1487), looks like most other laptops from the company but offers unprecedented portable workstation performance.

If you have been waiting for a large LCD at a great price, the Dell 2405FPW is the display for you. Unless you are dead set on an HDMI with a 24-in. display, there is no reason to pass up on the Dell 2405FPW. The bright, crisp images the screen delivers are matched only by the flexibility and features built into this behemoth of a desktop...

Launched a few days into 2006, The Dell 3007WFP matches Apple's 30-inch, ultra-high resolution display but undercuts the Apple's price by around £300. £1471 (yes, it's a lot of money) currently buys you Dell's flagship TFT. We bought (see, review websites don't all receive free kit) one directly from Dell, to see if it could displace our 2405FPW as our monitor of choice. Read on to find out if it does...

The Dell XPS is generally very impressive and while it's very expensive you do get a great specification for your money. It's also great to look at, it's very well built and it's not too loud. However, it's Intel based, and when it comes to games, AMD is faster. A great machine then, but it's not the final word in gaming desktops...

The monitor rocks, pure and simple. It's not perfect by any means, but then what current LCD display is right now? It's close enough to perfection for me, though, and that's all I can really say subjectively. A really nice piece of kit to complement any modern PC with a DVI port. Gamers should love it, and it's an 8bpc panel with a provided sRGB profile for Windows and Mac, so Photoshop addicts should get along with it just nicely too...

Small businesses looking for their first purpose built server will always have Dell on their shopping list as a contender. It's easy to see why as this manufacturer has consistently offered a solid range of systems at highly competitive prices. The PowerEdge 830 delivers a fine specification for the price which includes plenty of RAID protected storage and a wealth of remote server management and monitoring facilities...

In simple terms, Dell's 3400MP does everything better than the best compact projector around without sacrificing too much in terms of weight and portability. In practical terms, what you get is a machine with better looks, better optics, a brighter picture, a nicer accessory pack complete with James Bond-style briefcase, plus bulbs that last longer and cost less. All of which makes for a very pleasant surprise and a perfect tool for watching reruns of that glorious Ashes victory...

The Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 is the fastest laptop I have ever tested. With a NVIDIA GeFoce Go 6800 Ultra video card with 256Meg of GDDR3 RAM, this laptop was designed for one thing and one thing only - to win the game and look good doing it. Where the XPS Gen 2 is a letdown is in battery life. It simply sucks. However, asking about the battery life on this gaming notebook is like asking how asking the miles per gallon on a Ferrari Enzo - who the hell cares? It's all about speed and looks. For what this notebook is designed for, I highly doubt you'll run into many situation where you're on the battery...

The chosen combination of Pentium M 770 and GeForce 6800 Go Ultra 256MB make for, without doubt, the fastest gaming laptop ever to grace HEXUS Labs, and I keep repeating this, ad nauseum, but it's just so damn quiet. The screen's pretty sharp, the keyboard's above average, and the chassis looks pretty cool. With the £2099 asking price and gamers in mind, I'd urge Dell to pre-configure a model with a 7,200RPM hard drive for faster loading and, perhaps, look into a better base warranty. Other than that, though, I'm struggling to find bad points about it without resorting to nitpicking.

Dell is both large enough and savvy enough to engineer and market the best gaming system around. This Dimension XPS Gen-4, however, is overpriced and, from a package's point of view, hasn't been specified too well. Dell, I feel, needs to reduce the price to below £1,500 inc. VAT and offer a choice between CRT and TFT at no extra cost. Custom touches, such as a gaming mouse and windowed panel wouldn't go amiss, either. It's surprising to say this, but Dell, with this XPS system, isn't doing what it does best, that is, offering unbeatable value for money.

The D410 is typically Dell. It may be lacking in the style stakes but this is an impressive business ultra portable notebook with a docking station for the hot-desker. Though the screen is average and the keyboard a touch cramped, when you consider the features, performance, build quality and the price, the Dell D410 will win over your mind, if not, perhaps, your heart.

I think it is very clear that Dell is marketing the Pocket DJ to compete with Apple's iPod mini. In dimensions, capacity, battery life, and price, the Dell Pocket DJ is evidently poised to challenge the iPod mini. We are therefore proud to award the Dell Pocket DJ a Reviewer's Choice Award!
