Hint: It's not as innovative as it looks.

Looks like a monitor with a docking station attached.
I concur.
Dr., do you concur?
Ugh, why didn't I just concur?!?
OH MY GOSH! SANTA'S A MYTH!?!?!?
It's a portable wormhole device!!! good thing u told me it's not as innovative as it looks or I would have said it's an iphone rip off that plays crysis at twice max settings!
that's definitely just another crappy iPhone ripoff. (but with a real keyboard, removable battery, 3G, cut&paste, and all the other crap people cry about.)
:P
Ah, so that's where my waffle iron went!
It's not a waffle iron.....it's a grilled cheese sandwich maker. Notice the integrated angle cutters for once the sandwich is done?
Dude, I'm new around here and I haven't seen you yet but that avatar is spooking me out! Stop looking at me like that! :p :D
Yeah, I agree. Thats what I thought. Probably for the upcoming latitude E series that you reported on a few weeks ago.
Looks like a VCR on a bracket with a monitor above it.
New 24" LCD all in one.
or
XPS 2010 replacement.
string or nothing
Something I won't be buying.
Most likely follow up to the M2010... their "portable" 20" laptop with fold out keyboard.
Portable 20" is an oxymoron and I am not just saying because I prefer anything 14" and under. I am just saying.
Updated M2010?
BANANA-PHONE!!!
Peanut butter jelly time!
But the question is... does it do waffles?
oh no good sir.. the better question is.. will it blend?
Does it do Doom?
Do you two know when a joke is too old? and lame?
Looks like a monitor with a standard D-Dock.
A poorly designed OLED display?
That sounds like a personal problem.
GW's tax stimulus plan, i.e. a load of crap...
A trash compactor... which compacts itself?
My money is on a new docking station compatible with the D630-series, perhaps with an integrated 24" 16/10 WSXVGA LCD monitor. Interesting... not exactly revolutionary but amusing nonetheless.
Is it a question mark?
How cool, a dart board with a table stand. Does it come with a wall mount?
floor mounted projector screen.
It's a docking station... It docks both a Laptop AND a monitor. Monitor dock locks to the 4 square thingies on the back of a monitor and the DVIs just slide in...
Or it's a potato masher.
a rotating flat panel tv bracket that fits under your bed
is it one of those so called ultra thin OLED displays that claims to only be 3mm thick but also comes with a massive great big box with all the clever electrical gubbings in? on no, that would be the Sony XEL-1!
BEHOLD.... the 5th generation of home computer entertainment. Buy your Dell TRON Recognizer at your favorite software house.... Now now now......
It's not an iMac, which is what I think you're alluding to with: "Hint: It's not as innovative as it looks."
It is the new fugly.
Is it another ultra-thin LCD monitor/alarm clock radio from Sony?
I'd say Dell XPS One
A robot overlord?
A blender?
A Doom-only console?
A second generation Vii?
I believe you mean third.
Maybe it's the world's first robot restaurant server. The vertical piece is the face/camera (so the person driving it can see where its going) and the horizontal piece is the tray on which they set the food. Meet Rosie, Elroy is probably the next model.
It's one of those thingies they hang up in the bulk food section so people can weigh out their oatmeal. With an LCD screen, for some reason.
santa is TOO real!!!! He HAS TO BE!!!
'sobs'
Is it a wheel barrow ?
Teledildonics?
Actually, I think it's a robot Herve Villechaise.
It's a thing for asking questions, when you can't/don't want to speak.
You just present the thing to the designated recipient, and optionally make vigorous pointing gestures indicating the question mark. Or better, buy the $1000 add-on that flashes it automatically (external power source required).
A future model may include the option to add a writing (fixed) below the question mark, which could give you a head start over the competing non-explicitandum devices.
I think the real answer here is that it's something full of grandly underwhelming hardware due to its size, has a couple cool features, probably a thumbprint security reader, lacks a full keyboard, folds down into some ridiculous excuse for a 'portable' shape, runs Vista, lacks the option for preinstalled Ubuntu, has a stupendous price tag, and the logon .wav says 'All your iMacs are belong to Gateway'.
Either way, it's not something I can ever see myself buying, for the same reason I don't want a laptop. No Expandability. OEM hardware upgrade limitations. Plethora of useless softare trials.
It doesn't blend, it has a firmware block so one cannot install Doom, and there are no strings to be found anywhere because the entire system is wireless.
Say goodbye to your alpha brain waves...my Giger Counter is melting.
Really, all jokes aside, I think this is a virtual putting green.
It looks like one of those new ultra-thin Sony TV's but its more likely a monitor with a docking station as suggested above.
I'm guessing that it's the next generation of the XPS One.
I'm guessing that it's the next generation of the XPS One.

It's a DDR dance pad with monitor. Duh.
OOOOOH OOOH OOOH!!!! (Horschack voice)
It's a docking Eee PC type competitor. When it's unplugges, it's a light duty box, possibly running a light Windows or Linux OS. When docked, it goes full Windows and has access to a BluRay Drive, powerful graphics, and a sweet ass monitor. Oh yeah, it's also multi touch. simple on the road, powerful on the desk.
It's your own Super Mario "?" Block... with some other shit on the bottom
Someone's toilet seat.
It's an alien from DEFENDER stealing a laptop!
Quick! SMART BOMB!!!
but will it blend?
I don't mean to be rude but that one is getting old. I hope it dies soon.
@ happy_penguin... don't mean to be rude, but... YOUR MOM is getting old (but I DO NOT hope she dies soon). Oh, and the thing with the question mark on it, I think it's happy_penguin's mom.
Looks like it's the new Monitor Stand port rep for the new Latitude E Series notebooks to me.
a laptop or keyboard under an lcd or a thin client?
small form factor with a laptop grade processor
I'ts a base, and it are belong to me.

Maybe it are hat? Yes?
