Dell XPSM 2010 from $3,500
The XPS M2010 certainly packs a punch, if one is left thinking that this machine is all about design. Boasting a Intel Dual Core Processor, 4GB RAM, 240GB Hard disk and Ati Radeon graphics card; this machine can hold its own with the best of them. Its also includes nifty features like a 1.3 megapixel camera, magnetic bluetooth keyboard and ineteresting gyroscopic Media Center remote with a small LCD screen. Priced at $3500 going upwards of $8000, this machine is very expensive and is aimed at only the wealthiest of computer buyers. But with only 2 hours of battery life on idle, one can really question whether a purchase such as this could ever be justified.
