Hands-on with the Dell XPS 16:9 Full HD laptopBy Staff, 15 January 2008
Although many laptops ship with "HD ready" stickers nowadays, the viewing pleasure may be hampered by the screen. Will Dell come to the rescue?

Dell 16-inch concept Specs »  Gallery »
Dell 16-inch concept One of the most interesting laptops on display at CES, this 16-inch concept laptop from Dell can offer true 16:9 HD perspective, unlike the 16:10 most laptops are limited to. In other words, you'd be able to watch HD movies on your notebook without any black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. The problem is, glass manufacturers who make displays for notebooks don't like building custom sizes, so we may never get to see this concept realized. Still, Dell is probably one of the few OEMs with enough purchasing power to make something like this become a reality. Release: January 2008. Price: $2000.
Pros: True 16:9 perspective for watching HD movies
Cons: May never become a reality
