I think we were all a little taken back a few months ago when Dell released their new line of XPS computers especially because of the M2010. It is a complete desktop computer that has a sense of mobility to it…of course that’s if you don’t mind lugging around the 18-lb. beast.
Laptop Magazine decided to see how this 20-inch “notebook” would handle itself in typical laptop situations: on the subway, in Starbucks, and in the park. Out of the three locations I think the subway was the best:
Hands down, the most popular question was people asking whether the thing was a laptop, some in admiration, some in disgust, and most in genuine puzzlement. The question of “why?” naturally followed soon after. One young lady seated across from me was genuinely shocked to discover that the XPS closed.
I am sure the person who did this walked away with quite a few stories to tell. 
Wow that picture really puts things in perspective.
I think that should more ‘if you don’t mind having this 18-lb beast sitting on your lap’ or ‘if you can find something sturdy enough to set this 18-lb beast on!”
Last you have to be mugged by a gang and not just one man,
This thing is like an anti-muggers tool, just knock them over the head and they’ll never know what hit them…literally.
It’s also a huge sign saying ‘I’m carrying a very expensive laptop and therefore have only one arm free to defend myself’
Still pretty cool though – but I think for large screen entertainment I shall stick with my desktop.
Hey Ryan,
great picture…glad the subway was fun with the M2010. Cant wait to read about the park and starbucks. Its a category changer for sure.
What you want from tech can be very different than I want….and the M2010 fits a part of the market no one has addressed. A sample of some Dell innovation.
Like they say “different strokes for different folks,” although taking the M2010 on the subway and using it is a new one.
He didn’t do the test – he’s permanently plugged into his PC to get all the latest news for us and has never actually seen a subway in real life
Hey now…I have a long extension cord.
