Dell has redesigned the Inspiron XPS Gen 2 from the ground up. There's very little left over from the original Inspiron XPS laptop, which made use of an Inspiron 9100's thick chassis and wattage-eating Pentium 4 desktop CPU. The Inspiron XPS Gen 2 tips the scales at 3.9KG, which is more than acceptable for a laptop that uses a 17-inch screen as standard. It's certainly a lot more portable than the 5.5KG Rock Xtreme Ti, and you can carry it around with one hand, just. The XPS Gen 2 will never fit into the thin-and-light category but, I feel, its overall size is acceptable. You can see its thickness, when compared to a Sony Ericsson K700i phone, here. The buttons on the front control Dell's DMX A/V program, but you cannot play an audio CD with the laptop turned off. Pressing any key results in Windows XP booting. It's a shame that this is the case, as the in-built speakers are reasonable enough.
