Dell is doubling the memory and hard drive space of its XPSTM 200 and 400 desktop computers at no additional cost for U.S. consumers.
Today's move brings the minimum configurations across all XPS desktop computers to 1 GB of memory and 160 GB* of hard drive capacity, up from the 512 MB of memory and 80 GB* hard drive when they debuted last September. Dell also said it will extend no-interest financing from 12 to 18 months* , through CIT Bank, for qualified customers who want to acquire their XPS desktop and laptop computer upon purchase, yet need more time to pay for it.
XPS computers are designed and custom-built for users who want a combination of power, style and design. The extra memory and hard drive capacity will help boost system performance and the ability to store more data, including music, photos and video files. Pricing for the XPS desktop lineup starts at $999.
"We've made a strong lineup of products even stronger," said Tom West, Dell's director of marketing for home and small business. "We're building on the tenets of the XPS brand by providing powerful products with great features and competitive financing alternatives."
Coupled with the additional computing muscle, XPS desktop systems are also equipped with Intel® Dual Core processors, Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 and a 15-month* security subscription for virus and spyware protection. Shipping and one-year of XPS limited warranty* support are standard.
Added benefits for customers buying XPS products include being catered to by highly trained sales and support agents. XPS agents can provide in-depth counsel on the full line of products as well as rapid-response support, if the need arises, to minimize downtime.
According to the company, gamers, tech enthusiasts and buyers who seek excellence in products, services and individualized support have purchased XPS systems, which saw about a 20 percent year-over-year increase in combined desktop and laptop unit shipments in the company's fourth quarter.
