Dell's newfound love for design comes to light yet again in the XPS One, which takes a stab at an iMac-like design.
As expected, Dell today unveiled its new XPS One all-in-one computer, focusing on multimedia usage in digital homes. Following Gateway's One, it was about time Dell took a stab at this intriguing concept, but Apple's iMac is still in a league of its own.
The XPS One will ship in four different models, including "The Essential One", "The Music One", "The Performance One" and "The Entertainment One". In their basic configurations, all models feature a 20-inch widescreen display, Windows Vista Home Premium, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, Adobe Elements Studio for XPS One, a hybrid analog/digital TV tuner with remote control and an 8-in-1 media reader. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity can also be found in all systems.
The basic model, "The Essential One," also offers an Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 processor, a standard video card, 250GB hard drive and CD/DVD burner, which will cost you $1500. For $1750, you'll get the same package plus wireless headphones and a 2-year warranty, promoted as "The Music One".
"The Performance One" adds an Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 processor, a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro video card, 320GB hard drive, Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 and a 2-year warranty, and it will set you back $2000. By upgrading this package one more time, to include a 500GB hard drive and a Blu-ray drive, Dell aims to sell "The Entertainment One" for $2400.
The XPS One models are immediately available from Dell's website in the U.S.
