Dell XPS M2010 Replacement Model
Hi all,
I apologise if I'm posting this thread in the wrong section but I wanted to know if anybody had any ideas why the Dell XPS M2010 has been discontinued especially here in the UK.
Now from day one I've always admired this amazing state of the art machine and just as I was going to place my order it said 'sorry the item is currently not available'
I was wondering would Dell replace a new model for the M2010 and go for something similar like for example the HP HDX Dragon?
I really like the design concept on the M2010 and I'm disappointed that I cannot order this unit direct from Dell but if Dell are going to be introducing a new replacement model for the M2010 I would rather wait and see instead of purchasing the HP HDX 20inch Laptop.
Am I correct in thinking the M2010 might be replaced by the Dell XPS One?
If the CEO of Dell or Dell designers are reading this thread please make a replacement model for the M2010 keep the same design aspect but with major improvements like using a nice glossy material used on the HP HDX and change your graphics card to Nvidia opposed to ATI, maybe add a HDMI port have more controls on the base of the laptop but please by all means keep the idea of the detachable keep, dvd/cd rom slot and the amazing handle.
It would be nice if Dell were working on this new project for the New XPS 20 inch Laptop. I just wanted to know if anyone had any news on this because I seem have no information.
Thanks.

Yeh maybe I'm living in a dream world when I stated that comment, however might be an idea to write to Mr.. Michael Dell or the designers @ Dell.
Yeh I got in touch with Dell UK they clearly stated that the Dell M2010 is discontinued for good and when I asked whether an upgraded model would be released they said they had no idea what will happen.
So fingers crossed Dell produce a new line which will out class the HP Pavilion HDX because I have to admit I do like that machine if it had a detachable keyboard and a DVD/CD Rom slot I would have purchased one even though I'm a loyal Dell customer.
So I think I will wait till Christmas and see if Dell come up with a new design concept for the M2010.
I would like to hear your views on this.
Thanks again.

Welcome to the forums :smileyhappy:
In your dreams :smileyvery-happy:
These are simply the community forums... frequented by fellow XPS laptop owners/potential XPS laptop owners.
Heck... we don't even see official Dell MODs/Admins in here... never mind the company CEO :smileysurprised:
Only Dell UK can tell you why the XPS 2010 has been pulled from the UK site?
But if you're determined to own one... it is still available from a number of other online sources ;)

I would Have to say YES The M2010 is going away - In the US only the 1.8 GHz CPU is available and the Blu-Ray is only on the Small Bus.. site and No Longer configurable for Home users.
As to whither or not Dell is going to come out with a similar Trans Portable Desk Top Replacement is a Good Question.
I think it would do good with the New Mobile Quad Core CPU and add a few things like 2 ESata Ports that can run in RAID 0 or 1, Allow 2 320GB 7200 Rpm HD internal, Blu-Ray Drive, Top End Video and change the Screen to a WUXGA possibly a 24" (1980X1200) and a top end Audio card, HDMI(With Sound) as well as DVI Out and keep the fire wire, Just a few Enhancements and call it the Ultimate HD Video Package able to Edit and Master and Record HD Video on Blu-Ray.
Would make for a Nice Easy to Move Video Editing System. And probably a Good Gaming Box you can take with you.(even on a Plane as Carry On)

Spot on,
That's the sort of Laptop I had in mind, but won't the 24" inch screen make it look way too big for it to be classified as a Laptop although I have to say that would be marvelous.
I also like the specs you've mentioned although I have to top that I would also like to see Dell change their Graphics Card to Nvidia opposed to ATI.
It's all a question whether Dell would be prepared to do this because I have to say HP are ahead of their game I mean the HP Pavilion HDX is such an amazing machine and the design looks wonderful, I'm tempted in purchasing one but I have to say I'm a loyal Dell customer and I'm thinking about hanging on for a while.
I would still like to see the sleeping giant (Dell) to wake up and suprise us all.
