Dell XPS M2010 vs. HP HDX.

120 points posted to XPS products by stormrider451 Mar 31

Hello.

Dell, I was roaming about the HP site today and decided to construct a HDX to see what kind of specs one could put on it. Knowing that the HDX is basically the closest thing to pose a challenge towards the M2010, I think the HDX currently must be given the advantage in terms of the power of the hardware offered for it. I think overall the M2010 will always be better than the HDX as long as DELL matches whatever HP offers on the HDX. Simply because the M2010 carries with it the versatility of the detachable keyboard and a great set of speakers. But other than that, if HP were to create the same detachable keyboard concept, the HDX would be by far superior to the M2010 due to its specs. So, get to it DELL, get that M2010 better hardware or costumers will get deverted to the HP HDX. Lets make the M2010 attractive to the media freaks but also for the gaming people. Not to mention, the HDX is better priced because 3000 dollars on the HDX = a much better equiped system than 3000 dollars on the M2010.

Max Specs HDX vs. M2010: (Left values HDX vs. Right Values M2010).

CPU: 2.88Mhz vs. 2.33Mhz [ADVANTAGE HDX]
RAM: 4GB vs 4GB (but HDX has option for 3GB which M2010 does not). [SAME]
Display: 20 inch (1920x1200; 1080p res) vs 20 inch (does not specify resolution; please take note of this). [CANNOT SAY WHO HAS ADVANTAGE BUT I THINK M2010 DOES NOT HAVE SUCH A HIGH RESOLUTION; CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG].
VIDEO: 512MB GeForce 8800M GTS vs. 256 Ati Mobility X1800 [ADVANTAGE HDX]
HD: 240 GB (7200RPM) vs. 400GB (7200RPM). [ADVANTAGE M2010]

Mar 31		 NOTE: CPU's mhz obviously pertain to dual core.

Mar 31		 I thought someone else already pointed this out before... probably you. Does this really constitute an "idea"?

Mar 31		 I think it is an idea, possibly a dupe but still an idea. Dell has upgraded all the different sized XPS systems but this one.

Mar 31		 If its a dupe I am sorry. Go ahead and merge it with the first idea if need be, moderators.

Apr 1		 The XPS 2010 is a freaking fossil.

And yeah, it's a dupe but it needs repeating. I hope they come out with something for Montevina. Otherwise it's off to HP for an HDX which is sure to have an ATI Radeon mobility 3850 or 3870. Among other things.
