Dell XPS One 24

$1,999.00 Released February, 2008

The Pros:Touch-sensitive multimedia controls are sleek and functional - backlight is trigged when movement is detected and prompts are easily detected. Included wireless keyboard and mouse components function very well - on/off switches promote battery life and internal receiver frees up USB ports. Large amount of USB ports provides numerous connectivity options - front and rear placement is suited to various device types.

The Cons:Integral hardware components may encounter operative issues within a year of use - users report issues with hard drive, fan and motherboard parts.

The Dell XPS One 24 is an expensive, top of the line desktop computer that falls into a very narrow category of machines due to the fact that the computer hardware is built in to a 24" LCD monitor.
