MEDIA CENTER PC NEWSOctober 27th 2005 Dell Releases XPS M140 Notebook and Dimension E310
The XPS M140 is Dell's first 14.1-inch widescreen notebook and features Dell MediaDirect technology for quick access to digital photos, music and videos without having to start the operating system. The Dimension E310 desktop, Dell's entry Media Center PC, features a new minitower chassis that supports Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and an optional TV tuner for easily managing digital content and watching or recording TV. Desktop customers also can add Dell DataSafe data protection, a new feature that automatically backs up valuable information and digital media, as well as restore files from previous points in time. As more customers store music, photos, videos and games, the need to easily protect important, and often irreplaceable, digital content becomes critical. The second notebook in Dell's XPS portfolio, the XPS M140 is ideal for customers who want the best mobile entertainment technology from Dell. It weighs starting at less than 5.5 pounds and fits a full-sized keyboard in a 1.5-inch thin design. The 14.1-inch high-definition widescreen display with optional TrueLife technology offers a vivid viewing experience and the same movie playback size as 15-inch standard-aspect displays. With the optional nine-cell battery mobile users can also enjoy the benefits of extended battery life for productivity applications and watching DVD movies. Dell MediaDirect technology and the XPS M140's 5-in-1 media card reader enable quick retrieval of digital content. By pressing the Dell MediaDirect button, users can access stored music, photos and movies in seconds without waiting for the operating system to boot. From the Dell MediaDirect menu, they can also manage content from devices such as flash memory cards and USB storage keys. The 5-in-1 media card reader supports five popular card formats commonly used in other devices like digital cameras and handhelds. The Dimension E310 is the company's second consumer desktop designed for digital entertainment, joining the mid-range Dimension E510 introduced last month. The Dimension E310 supports a DVD burner , an all-in-one media card reader for fast transfer of digital photos, music and videos and new audio-enhancing software to help improve the sound of customers' digital music. The desktop's new silver and black chassis holds up to 160 GB of storage for multimedia and data files, and is designed to help reduce noise and extend the life of the system. Starting at $999, the XPS M140 is expected to be available in November, and as with all Dell XPS products, comes standard with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, a 15-month security software subscription and one year of XPS limited warranty support. |
