Typical price: £540
What is it: Low-cost, colourful 15.4-inch desktop replacement
What we think: It has a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up for a thinner, lighter XPS

We like:
Borrows some of the best design features of the more expensive XPS line; built-in media remote control
We don't like:
Bulkier than the 15-inch XPS model; just under the wire for new Centrino 2 chips
