Our XPS M140 test system came preloaded with Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE)-an anomaly (and a pretty neat one) for a thin-and-light. Both the Sony VAIO FS680 and the HP Pavilion dv1000 have slightly fewer ports. Two more USB 2.0 ports are built into the back edge. The right edge includes a double-layer DVD burner in addition to VGA-out, Ethernet, 56K modem, and two USB 2.0 ports.

The left edge features S-Video-out and four-pin FireWire ports, headphone and microphone jacks, an Express Card slot (replacing the aging Type II PC Card technology), and a convenient 5-in-1 memory-card reader that supports all the major flash formats.

The coating is also reflective, which can be mildly annoying in particularly bright environments.įor a thin-and-light, the XPS M140 offers a remarkably full complement of ports, jacks, and slots. The crisp 14.1-inch wide screen features a 1,280x800 native resolution and a light-reflective coating that makes colors appear especially vivid. We enjoyed typing on the XPS M140's spacious keyboard, and its touch pad and two mouse buttons are nice and big. Because the buttons and the speakers sit on the front edge, you can access them with the lid shut. The two speakers in the front-edge corners sound the same as those of most portables: clear, but lacking bass. With Dell's included Media Direct software, the buttons let you play CDs and DVDs and adjust the volume without booting up Windows, though they also work when Windows is booted. The XPS M140's three-prong AC adapter weighs 0.86 pound.Īs on the XPS M170, the Inspiron 6000, and the Inspiron 9300, eight handy multimedia buttons sit smack in the middle of the XPS M140's front edge. With a six-cell battery, the XPS M140 weighs 5.6 pounds, which is more in line with the weight of the 5.5-pound Pavilion dv1000 and the 5.5-pound, $2,299 ThinkPad Z60t. While those dimensions are about average for a thin-and-light, the system's 5.9-pound weight (when configured with a nine-cell battery) edges up against that of such midsize competitors as the 6.32-pound, $2,049 Sony VAIO FS680. What does work is a seperate tuner card.The silver, black, and white XPS M140 measures 13 inches wide and 9.6 inches deep its thickness slopes from 1.5 inches in back to 1.2 inches in front. Vista does not allow a combo card to work properly. It is possible this has been "fixed". The design flaw with Vista is the "child" driver.

So I do not have outside "designs" only wish to help out.ĭ) The problem with Vista is the lack of driver support for certain Combo or all in one cards. If you wish I could help you out easily there. (*I am never an advocate of cheating PC/liscense keys*) As a side note you will have two different OS keys, so if you wish you could create your own work station PC for youself.

So an upgrade to sp3 is possible but not fun. (video cards, display monitor)ĭisplayport- video- cards-are-coming.htmlĮ/articles/ 07/12/07/ati. Unforetunately an upgrade is in every ones future. How ever with content providers wanting to use HDMI, and the latest standard being display port.

Content protection is every ones headache, Dvi is support to be an standard. *(Please some people will disagree, I know this but unless you provide a encryption tranport your self, I do understand this and save your comments)*ī) Dvi ports, display tech is an ever changing problem. Dvd/Blue ray player, Video card, Proper cabling, Switcher (yes an Hdmi switcher that complies with content protection is available) and finally monitor.ģ) So Fire ware is not considered protected. More properly known 1394 transport in the PC world. So the cost issues have not really changed too much. For Hd resoutions a complete chain of protected devices are required. And 5 meg hard drives were just starting out. About a third of Apples stuff.Ģ) Yes I did start out years ago when an IIgs was new. When I checked a moment ago cds were listing for around a hundred and something.
