DELL XPS ONE,The All in One PC

Digg it !!!

The Dell XPS One easily outclasses its all in one competitor ,the gateway One ,and matches or surpasses the Apple iMac,which has long been the gold standard of all in PCs.While the XPS One starts over Rs.70,000, Dell sent us its top of the line Rs.100,000 model for testing with a buit in HDTV tuner ,802.lln wireless capability,and Blu-ray drive.Although the model i reviewed is the expensive in the XPS one family,it is worth the money for the Technology fan with deep pockets.Except for the graphics choice,the XPS one uses components that are competitive those found in traditionally designed desktop power PCs and has the benchmarks to prove it.Better still,it looks good doing it.The XPS one shows once and for all that the future of desktop PCs is in th all-in-one form factor.

The system's 20" widescreen sits a little low on its pivoting arm compared with its rivals.Unlike the gateway one and iMac,it is a lot more propotional in its design.There is no "chin" below the screen,nor is there anything installed above the monitor.Infact,when i first saw the prototype,i actually thought that it was some new fangled XPS branded monitor with built in speakers.Reality sank in when i saw the cable/antenna jack on the back of the case as befits an all in one PC,the XPS one doesn't takes up a lot of space.If you don't need a cable TV hookup or Ethernet ,then the XPS ONE can match the Apple iMac and Gateway One iin the one cable hookup department,thanks to XPS one's wireless keyboard,mouse and 802.lln networking.The XPS one's integrated 2.0 MP webcam offers face recognition(it focuses and zooms on your face).The same technology allows overlay effects like those seen on Logitech and Creative Labs webcams.Out of the box,you can give yourself elf ears or disco lighting effects.


I really have to split hairs to find fault with the XPS One's design.The clear base is too shallow to hold the entire keyboard under the screen,unlike the iMac.The Keyboard will always stick out just a bit when u are not using it.Last but not least,the 20 inch monitor only has a 1680-by-1050 rsolution.While it's sharp , u can't view HDTV in full 1920-by-1080 resolution--not that you had be able to tell the difference on a 20 inch screen.Playing Blu-ray movies on the XPS One was interesting,and the video picture will blow you away.


The dell XPS One is of the most attractive all in one PC's.It look's like a monitor rather than an all in one PC.The Dell XPS One performs better than th competition on multimedia tasks.This is the all in one PC to beat.
