Wait, we're talking about a Dell here, not an Apple?

Well then, I LOVE IT!!!

Also, the side-mounted speakers also make the bezel look huge, but if they sound good, then it's an acceptable compromise. ]]>May 21st 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/]]>May 21st 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/]]>May 21st 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 22nd 2009 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/

This doesn't use batteries because its not a Notebook.

You speak as if exploding batteries is specific to Dell. Very few laptop manufacturers manufacturer their own batteries (much less their own cells), so if a cell is susceptible to explosion, everyone who uses those cells is also susceptible. Even your precious. So take your cute little insinuation that Dell's are unsafe and shove it.

Honestly, you used to be the rational minded mac fanboy. You are sinking to Paul Chappeles level of douch-baggery.]]>May 21st 2009 7:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/

Touchscreen screen on an OS that wasn't wholly built around it (yes, even 7) still seems too gimmicky. ]]>May 22nd 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 8:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 22nd 2009 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/May 21st 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/

So I'm not really sure I would call the Studio One a run for the iMac's money, not when you compare all the specs directly. But it's pretty close as long as you're willing to put up with the sub-par monitor and various ports.]]>May 21st 2009 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/dell-studio-one-19-unboxing-hands-on-and-impressions/

"More than enough for 99% of the population" is not only not quantifiable, it's a completely spurious argument. The iMac uses better components (panel, ethernet, bluetooth, video out, everything I listed in the above post), so it's irrelevant if the Dell is more than enough for "most users". We're talking difference in price, so until the Dell can match every single thing the iMac does better, it's not a direct comparison.

It's called "you get what you pay for". This may come as a shock to you, but that is not the same thing as "overpriced". You pay more for the iMac, and you get more.
