However, Dell’s new Latitude XT tablet PC seems like a pretty poor value. It’s priced over $1000 more than a comparable Lenovo ThinkPad X61, though it is thinner and has a cool capacitive touch screen.

Dell just officially released it’s monster gaming rig, the XPS M1730. This thing is insane. For $2999 (and up) you get:

• Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom) T7700 (2.4 GHz)
• 17 inch LCD WUXGA (1920 x 1200)
• dual 512MB Nvidia GeForce 8700 graphics cards (running in SLI mode)
• 2.0 megapixel webcam, noise-cancelling earbuds (for the online gaming set)
• a dedicated “AGEIA PhysX” processor for advanced physics rendering
• secondary LCD display, funky space age exterior, running lights

not to mention all sorts of options like twin hard drives in a RAID array and a Blu Ray DVD burner. Notebook Review.com has a preliminary review that has no real surprises; the M1730 is basically an all-in-one desktop replacement and gaming rig, and is not really designed for lugging around campus or on your business flight.

I’ve been flogging the idea that desktop PCs, as a form factor, are obsolete. The trend is towards monster rigs like the M1730, or smaller machines that plug into a desktop environment loaded with external devices. I tend to favor the latter, but that imposes a fundamental performance hit (though external graphics cards can help ameliorate this). Even a beast like the M1730 is still going to be second fiddle to a true desktop gaming rig, but still has enough horsepower to satisfy the average gamer.

I’d like to ask a question of you, my seven readers. For some time now I’ve had access to coupon codes at Dell Computer for significant discounts (25-40% off, etc) on new systems, especially notebooks. I usually just delete these because I am not in the market for a new notebook until next year. But if there is sufficient interest, I can post them here at Haibane.info instead. If anyone actually used one, I’d get a referral payment of about 5-10 dollars depending on the configuration, which would help with my hosting costs (I’m firmly in the red, I don’t have enough traffic for the google ads to really help. But that’s a price I pay willingly for my enjoyment). However I’d rather not put the codes up and take up space if they won’t be of any potential use to anyone. Your thoughts?
