CNET.co.uk judgement:
Dell's XPS M2010 is truly a special laptop. It's likely to be the subject of scorn on initial inspection, but it won't take long to realise that it's not intended to be a traditional laptop. It's a completely new concept that's best described as a portable desktop PC, so if you're averse to the idea of owning a chunky tower or desktop machine, you could do a lot worse than check this out
Editors' Choice Winner 2006
A massive 20-inch screen and a genuinely innovative foldaway design make this machine a very desirable desktop replacement PC
