Dell M2010 I think we were all a little taken back a few months ago when Dell released their new line of XPS computers especially because of the M2010. It is a complete desktop computer that has a sense of mobility to it…of course that’s if you don’t mind lugging around the 18-lb. beast.

I am sure the person who did this walked away with quite a few stories to tell.
