  • Dell customers want XP, not Vista

    After adding it back as an option for small businesses, Dell offers the older OS on consumer machines in response to demand in the US.

  • Dell XPS M1210

    Upgraded to Windows Vista, the Dell XPS M1210 is a pricey but powerful system for those who want a smaller laptop with few compromises.

  • Dell Latitude XT

    This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.
