Awesome Dell

Billed as their flagship multimedia desktop, the Dell XPS 435 comes with a Core i7 965 running at 3.2GHz, up to 24GB of RAM, 7.1 channel audio and a spiffy crimson trim.

Goofy name, but cool tech with Dell’s Wasabi: measuring 5″x3″x1″ and weighing only 8 oz, this ultra-portable printer spits out 2″x3″ photos and uses no ink thanks to Zero Ink tech.

Dell second-gen tablet is the 12.1″ Latitude XT2: this time, it sports a multi-touch a-la iPhone, a second digitizer (w/ stylus), and a 11-hour 6-cell battery, all in a 0.98″ thick chassis.

At only $249, Dell’s Mini 9n is pretty cheap, even for a mini-notebook; you’ll be running Ubuntu with only 512MB RAM and no webcam, but it’s available with no strings attached.

Powered by AMD’s Black Edition processors, the Dell XPS 625 is a boon to AMD loyalists; max things out with a 3.0 GHz Phenom II, dual Radeon HD 4850s and up to 8 GB RAM.

A clear sign of Dell’s quasi-upscale intentions, their Studio XPS 13 and 16 laptops are now available; both are dressed with edge-to-edge screens, an obsidian black finish and leather accents.

Dell is clearly intent on upping the style ante with these leaked pics of a leather-wrapped Studio XPS 13; we dig the generous close-up shots, which reveal a focus on fit and finish.

With two flexible OLED screens that extend and retract, Dell’s XPS Baton is a dream laptop using near-future technology; an electric current makes the screens go rigid when in use.

DesktopReview.com is gushing over Dell’s Core i7 Studio XPS; it’s the cheapest Nehalem desktop thus far, coming in at under $1k even with 4GB RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 3450.

Dell’s definitely been getting artsy lately, first with the Studio and now their Inspiron Mini 9 and 12 laptops sporting one of five line-art heavy covers; they’ll set you back an extra $50.

Both Gateway and Dell are dropping Core i7s into their desktops, and at relatively low price points: Dell’s Studio XPS starts at $999, while Gateway’s FX 6800-01e starts at $1,249.

With a Celeron CPU, 120GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM, Dell’s Vostro 860 is by no means loaded; however, at $379 for a 15.6″ 16:9 screen, it’s a pretty tough deal to pass up.

Art is in the eye of the beholder with these Dell Art House (Studio 15″/17″) laptops, but $20 goes to (PRODUCT) RED efforts; it features work from artists including Brooklyn’s Mike Ming.

If Dell’s XPS One left you wanting for power, the XPS One 24 answers with a 1080p 24″ screen, Q8200 quad core CPU, 4GB RAM standard and optional GeForce 9600M GT video card.

Despite its humble workhorse purposes, we’re actually liking the industrial design of Dell’s new OptiPlex 960 series; they’ll come in three sizes which are designed to be power efficient.

Love the Mini 9’s portability but want a larger screen? Dell’s Inspiron Mini 12 will arrive stateside in late November; less than 1″ thick, it’ll get an Atom CPU, 12.1″ display and weigh only 2.72 lbs.

While its 858×600 resolution and 800:1 contrast ratio aren’t anything special, Dell’s M109s Projector is targeted towards road warriors: it measures only 4″x4″ and weighs less than a pound.

Dell rarely names specific laptops, making the M6400 Covet unique: it’s basically a loaded M6400 with a 17″ 1920×1200 backlit screen, 1GB Quadro 3700M card and an orange case.

Forget dainty netbooks: Dell’s 17″ M6400 laptop is top of the line all the way, with a 1 GB Quadro FX 3700M card, quad core CPU and a whopping 16 GB of RAM. Thanks, Craig!

Joining Dell’s Hybrid today are the Studio Desktop (MT) and Slim (ST). Despite cool, black styling, the modest 350W and 250W PSUs make clear their mid-range intentions.

Just released: Dell’s Inspiron Mini 9 laptop throws its hat into the netbook market. $349 gets you an Intel Atom N270, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB SSD, 802.11g card and Ubuntu. $449 for XP.

Targeted towards the graphics professional, Dell’s M4400 15.4″ Mobile Workstation comes standard with a Quadro FX card, e-SATA interface and three-button touchpad.

The Latitude E4200 is Dell’s smallest laptop ever, weighing in at 2.2 pounds. The 12.1″ notebook will be available in the coming weeks, along with a slightly larger 13.3″ E4300.
