My favorite part of that machine is the Build-Your-Own option to upgrade to 4gig of RAM. For <em>$3500</em>. That’s an awesome photo.

I saw this model on the dell.com site a couple of weeks ago but there was nothing to show the dimensions or weight. Is that an accurate photo to scale? If so that is just not functional or practical. At 18.5lbs, this laptop would be a real burden to carry from one end of an airport to another terminal to catch a flight. I like the design and its very unique but seems to miss out on the functionality. Of course, the XPS line are designed for gamers and gamers typically travel to conventions and contests. So the size and power may be necessary for a gamer and the portability is only a secondary necessity. The price tag is over $3500. Wow!

I mean, do you really need to be doing video editing while on the subway? And how long does the battery last, 5 minutes? I think this laptop would be firmly anchored to a desk, and would be mobile in name only. Montrosity is right… that sucker is huge!
