Too long.

Welcome, Dell.

You never realize the wide product assortment out there that has nothing to do with apple until someone points it out to you.

Iphones ripped off LG PRADA.
CLICKWHEEL is NOT NEW... Apple got that after analyzing Creative Labs'

As for these all-in-one PC's, I've seen these in Japan long before imac's came out - made by NEC. Apple isn't doing ANYTHING new so stop your cheerleading.]]>Oct 30th 2007 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/I'm not a fanboy, but a designer who is TIRED of bad design.

And this thing is not "designed". There's no brainwork in it.

And, please: it doesn't matter at all who made what first: who made it best is what really counts. And when I see this lame, uninspired, crummy all-in-one pc (I'm not blaming a rip-off) it just makes me feel sick.

I like good design. It makes me happy. I hate bad design. Makes me unhappy.

Look: The loudspeakers. Couldn't they have come up with a way to hide them? Now it looks like a cheap TV. They didn't think much about that.
Look at the port layout. It's crowded, It's crummy. SD port? Oh, no ... here we go again.
BLUE LEDS everywhere.

But, Dick, you seem to be in the "target group", hm? Like Too Fast, Too Furious a lot, hm? Hey, Britney Spears has a new Album out ... go fetch it ...

Maybe, when I think about it again, it's brilliantly designed. It's the iMac for Apple hating nerds.
It has everything nobody, but you, needs: SD port, TV port, rofl port, blue leds, 2f2f design ... wow ... finally ... you can have you Apple and still have all that bad design.

Now if you were really concerned about design, and not about who did what first, then you wouldn't give two shits about "copying".

Fact is, this is a sleek and compact design, which should suit a whole range of PC users right down to the ground. Whether or not it even vaguely resembles any Apple products is completely unimportant.

Oh yeah, and I love your snidey comments on other users potential music choices...what a ridiculous poster you are.]]>Oct 30th 2007 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/
If apple wants to claim responsibility for designing this, then I'll give it to them . . the design sucks. But I'm glad Dell made there own design. It definitely looks better compared to a piece of white plastic next to a bunch of home theater equipment.

Let me get this straight. So having visible speakers on an all-in-one PC bothers you, but having a huge chin doesn't?

And you're a designer?]]>Oct 30th 2007 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/
So you'd prefer a giant chin over visible speakers? And you're a designer? Who hired you?]]>Oct 30th 2007 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/

I welcomed the Macintosh in 1984 because it functioned better than any personal computer around at the time. It took Bill Gates an incredibly long time to come round to Windows, Icons, Mice and Pulldown menus, but come round he did. Believe me, when we championed that WIMPs user interface back in the mid-80s, we were regularly accused of, yes, championing style over substance, of being pretentious and arty about machines that were just supposed to "function". So you can guess that I certainly do think design is important. But it doesn't have to come from Apple. In fact, I wish to goodness it came from everywhere. I hope you'll believe I'm not an unthinking slave to Cupertino. Apple gets plenty of small things wrong, but one big thing it gets right: when you use a device every day, you cannot help, as a human being, but have an emotional relationship with it. It's true of cars and cookers, and it's true of computers. It's true of office blocks and houses, and it's true of mobiles and satnavs. A grey box is not good enough, clunky and ugly is not good enough. Sick building syndrome exists, and so does sick hand-held device syndrome. Fiddly buttons, blocky icons, sickeningly stupid nested menus - these are the enemy. They waste time, militate against function and lower the spirits. They make the user feel frustrated and (quite wrongly) dense. Mechanisms so devilishly, stunningly, jaw-dropping clever as the kind our world can now furnish us with are No Good Whatsoever if they don't also bring a smile to our face, if they don't make us want to stroke, touch, fondle, fiddle, gurgle, purr and coo. Interacting with a digital device should be like interacting with a baby.

So, yes, beauty matters. Boy, does it matter. It is not surface, it is not an extra, it is the thing itself. Le style, c'est le truc, as De Buffon would have written today.

I can't beleive this garbage is getting so much publicitiy on engadget.

Mac comps will ALWAYS outperform winsux boxes not matter what, read it for yourself PCMag just said the best laptop to run vista on is, yup you guessed it a MBP...

So come on dell, give it up already. Trying to copy the competition to get an edge? Listen, why don't you guys come up with something revolutionary like, i dunno, an ipod or an iphone then we will talk.

For goodness sake people, ipod AND iphone from the same company? thats bringing new stuff to the table, this dell xps one is just a reiteration on a brilliant concept 10 years too late.

Sorry I have to call Bullshit on that one. Dell picks anything from Seagate to WD hard drives. Most that are mainstream.

You know my opinion? It's not the hardware that counts. I could have an E-Machine run 2 years and a Dell last 2 seconds...But Dell can offer wayyyyy better support.

With that being said I have had Dell servers work perfectly. My laptop has had no problem.

To me it's who offers the best support that get's my money. Dell has everyone else beat. ]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/
I'm somewhat dubious about the "discrete graphics card". I can't even tell where it is in that picture, and it comes with laptop GPUs, so discrete or not, I don't think this is going to be very upgrade-friendly. And will performance fans (i.e. the XPS brand's target market) be impressed with a laptop chip in the first place?]]>Oct 30th 2007 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/

The answer.....nowhere.

Please do not ink these pages with irrelevant information. I realise this is somewhat similar in design to the iMac, but you guys should be flattered. When someone gets a design correct, it is only natural that other designers develop on it. Plagiarise is perhaps too strong a word here.

I for one am glad that PC manufacturers are starting to adopt this design. Any more space in my study will be greatly appreciated. I won't be buying this however, for all of the above reasons that are not apple related.

Rant over.

Now, apple fanboys, please proceed to ignore me and any other rationally thinking individuals who care to attempt to stifle your "creativity".]]>Oct 30th 2007 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/dells-xps-one-gets-undressed-and-naughty/

It's an all-in-one device, it looks good, Dell has very good support; better that Apple's and it runs WINDOWS! those last two are very important to me. So that means Dell/this PC just got my money!

So when is this bad boy going to be release and how much does it cost? I got some shopping to do!

Apple doesn't sell computers. It sells design. It sells style. Apple appeals to people who have taste. This craptacular Dell appeals to people who have no taste. Same with the iPod - nothing new there, but it's well integrated and tasteful.
