Dell's Gaming Monster

Posted by michael on from the luggables dept.

Carpoolio writes "TechTV has a good first look at the new Dell Inspiron XPS -- the company's first foray into portable gaming systems. The notebook -- a beast at 9 pounds -- puts the company squarely against the likes of Alienware. The price tag is steep, too, at $3,350. Are you buying?"

  1. Would I buy it? by heironymouscoward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    No. For entertainment, give me a cube PC and a projector. Just as portable, ten times the fun and cheaper.

  2. Size _doesn't_ matter. by normal_guy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When pricing laptops, the executive types always pick the smallest size. You wouldn't believe the amount of thought that went into extra power vs. 8 extra OUNCES. The younger game-playing employees always price out the laptops with the most power, knowing that an extra few pounds means _nothing_ when you're rolling it down the concourse. To me, it's all about desktop replacement.

    WUXGA+ screen, which is 1920x1200 pixels.

    What I want to know is, why is it you can buy a laptop with that flat panel installed, but you can't buy an LCD monitor for your desktop PC that can do that?
