The Dell XPS M2010 and I have something in common – we both need to shed about 15 pounds. That hasn’t stopped Dell from brandishing terms like compact, mobile, and portable to describe their new, 20lb. high-end offering. PC Mag has branded the M2010 a “lifestyle notebook,” and indeed, a substance-abusing lifestyle may be neccessary to lift this thing by its handle. In reality, what we have here is a sleek desktop PC with integrated, hinged LCD. Neither the folding concept nor the handle will see regular usage. So what exactly does a $3500 “media center” PC get you? Apparently not a TV tuner — that’s extra. Maybe I’m being too harsh… the gyroscopic remote with LCD is appealing and the 20″ screen is nothing to sneeze at. Just don’t call it portable.

Hey, at least it doesn’t look dumpy like everything else Dell makes.
I could see it being really desirable for LAN parties. Gamers regularly lug all sorts of large boxes around to play together, this thing at least has everything all in one with a handle. They’ll love the handle, really.
