DELL XPS M2010 REVIEW

Introduction
This is by far Dell’s largest and most featured notebook so far. Even though it is now 3 years old this laptop still got a lot to offer with the well made design and the 20-inch screen.

Design
This machine is really a beast simple because it is so huge! The Dell XPS M2010 features a 20 inch screen which it is hard to beat. The hinge on this laptop offers a great deal of freedom for the screen and it is very solid overall. The Dell logo also glows in blue while in standby mode which I think is very cool.

This notebook also comes with a Bluetooth mouse. The mouse is very good and responsive at a dark surface. On a whiter surface I had some issues with the response from the mouse. The keyboard is also very nice and it is exactly same size as a standard desktop keyboard.

Facilities
The notebook features many connection facilities like 4 USB 2.0 ports, an Express Card slot, FireWire, IR, Compact Flash reader, SD/MMC/MS/XD reader, standard audio/microphone inputs, S-video, DVI, and modem/Ethernet ports. Dell really did go all out on expandability. The battery life last for about 2 hours which is pretty poor but since the laptop is so big, you will mostly use it at places were you can plug it into a power output.

Performance
Even though the video card is outdated (3 years old) this laptop sill got a lot to offer. The laptop features a T7200 2.0GHz processor from Intel, a Radeon x1800 and 2 GB RAM. This not and never have been much of a gaming laptop because of the poor graphic card, however the CPU and the RAM makes it a mood multimedia laptop. On 3DMark 2005 I got 5054 3DMarks and on PCMark05 I got 4652 PCMarks.

Conclusion
The Dell XPS M2010 could easily be your media center, gaming notebook, and work notebook. Even though the graphics are outdated this laptop still got a lot to offer. A very good system for those who think laptops are to small and desktops are to big.
