Dell XPS M1210

The Dell XPS M1210 is a new 12.1-inch screen portable laptop that features the Intel Core Duo processor, rotating 1.3MP web camera, built-in EVDO and an nVidia Go 7400 graphics card.  The XPS M1210 features a new design for Dell laptops and offers possibly the best performance on the market for this sized laptop.  Following is a full review of the XPS M1210.

Specs for the XPS m1210 as configured:

* Intel Core Duo Processor T2300E (1.66GHz/667MHz FSB)
* 12 inch Wide-screen WXGA Display with TrueLife
* 2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
* 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 TurboCache
* 60GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
* Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem8X DVD+/-RW Drive
* Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy
* Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps)
* 85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
* Windows XP PRO SP2

The build of the M1210 is very good.  The casing is made of a magnesium alloy material and this notebook complies with the Dell Road Ready guidelines.  The lid is very solid and offers great protection to the screen, push in on the back and you won’t see ripples on the LCD.  The hinges are nice, rigid enough to hold the screen in place but not overly stiff.  The M1210 uses a latchless lid closing design, there is no use of magnets to keep the lid down but when it shuts you can hear it snap shut and spring tension holds the lid in place and closed very well.

This would be around Php 50,000 with different packages it would be likely cost more. But what the heck, we as a customer want what is better for our laptop needs.

The machine translation is pretty weak, but Dell’s 12.1-inch (1,280 x 800 pixel) Latitude XT2 looks to have just made its first tentative steps in a global launch. The video posted after the break comes courtesy of Korean site, AVING, where the convertible tablet was apparently just released. Pinch to zoom and two-fingers swipes… yup, it’s in there. 11-hours of battery (6-cell plus battery slice) and DDR3 memory (max of 5GB!) too in a chassis just 2.5-cm (0.98-inches) thick. This is about Php 108,000 more or less, depending on the add-ons and packages.
