Okay......seriously pictures cannot speak for this system. The design is awesome (yes, I have seen this system in person). In person, you cannot see the speakers behind the grill. Second....this system was never built/marketed to be a gaming machine....come on...what serious gamer would even want a system that they can not easily upgrade? This is purely a multimedia machine...and I have to tell you...it does it with perfection! You will never know by watching a Blu-Ray movie on this machine that it is not 1080p. This is coming from an avid HD viewer. This thing is sexy as hell in person. And regarding the video card...this has only a 200 watt power supply...not only to keep size down but also weight. So an 8xxx series video card is almost out of the question. So I guess my ultimate point is...don't knock a system until you've used it hands on..... P.S. after all....there really is no "universally perfect computer"...is there?
Lol.. ye well if it indeed is a good multimedia machine then you would have a point... read the review..sounds like it suck in everything!
"it's not the best pure living room PC, the XPS One is also not the best productivity-oriented desktop, even among other all-in-ones. In that category, Apple's iMac still rules the day. The performance charts more or less speak for themselves."
"You know your performance is in trouble when your gaming scores are slower than a Mac's. But on every test, from music encoding to photo editing to multitasking, the XPS One falls behind the iMac that costs $750 less"
@ ezraf1 - yes, that same Imac that also doesn't have a Blu-Ray BURNER or intergrated HDTV or DVR capabilities? Is that that one you are referring to for $750 less? Is this the same one that doesn't come with the Adobe Elements Studio as well? Or the same one that also doesn't come with 3 years of warranty on site...which means that you don't have to take it off your desk to have it fixed and throw it in the back of your car and drive to the mall or wherever to have it fixed? Is that the same one that is $750 dollars less that you are referring to? Or is it the one that is also getting over heated and having condensation building up inside the screen?
@Josh: Yeh thats the one I am refering to, the one that is a BETTER computer in EVERY test, (thats what you buy it for isnt it?) Ye its the one with iLife 08' which beats ANY other programs hands down,its the one with a design thats not created by a two year old, Aluminum and glass, not cheesy looking shoddy plastic with big ass ugly speakers. Oh and its the one that is more reliable with much better hardware, that thing is a DELL king of crap, Oh and did i mention OS X? So yup your on the right track how'd you guess I was refering to THAT iMac? Well done!

@Josh
Several good points, except for the point about iMacs not coming with Adobe Elements Studio. There's a reason for that (iLife).
