Dell XPS M1210 (Vista)

 

Though heavy for an ultraportable, the Dell XPS M1210 more than makes up for its heftiness with discrete graphics, a DVD burner, a webcam, Windows Vista Ultimate, and much more.

Discrete graphics in an ultraportable. Integrated DVD burner. Webcam for video chats. Fast performance. 85-Wh battery will run for plenty of time.

Design is a little bulky for an ultraportable. Unit can get warm at times.

Dell XPS M1210 Business review: Dell XPS M1210 Business

 

High-end components in a compact chassis; long battery life; comfortable keyboard.

Heavy and a bit bulky for a 12-inch laptop; disappointing gaming scores; high-end configurations options are expensive.

Upgraded to Windows Vista, the Dell XPS M1210 is a pricey but powerful system for those who want a smaller laptop with few compromises.

Dell XPS M1210 Home and Business - First Take

 

Though its higher-end (and high-performance) configurations are expensive, the Dell XPS M1210 should appeal to everyday users who want a relatively light but still full-featured Media Center computer.

Review Dell XPS M1210

 

GAMER'S DARLING. Dell XPS is quasi a synonym for high-performance

pleasing design ; robust and compact magnesium case ; good workmanship ; number of interfaces and their order ; bright display with good illumination ; excellent performance, playable subnotebook ; acceptable noise emissions ; excellent battery runtime

no transport lock for the display ; below-average contrast ratio ; stability to the vantage point of the display
