I'm with everyone here, excited at the prospect and potential of this product (XMC). I definitely see a market for this but it has to be done right.
I think gamers will be the biggest target audience and as such Dell has to pack it with the latest and greatest in hardware without care for batt life. Otherwise, why even bother with an XPS name. I personally would buy one only if it had enough headroom hardware-wise to be able to run Vista comfortably (MS has already outlined hardware requirements for it) and have its graphics at least upgradable to DX10 spec when they become available late 2006.
If Dell puts average components in it then I predict limited success. The way I see it, its best not to rush this product to market but rather put in hardware as they become available that will make it stand out performance-wise rather than just looks-wise.

I disagree about the battery life. it should have high specs and a long-lasting battery.- Well personally i would far prefer Dell to focus on giving the computer serious power even if that means sacrificing battery life. If this is going to be an XPS machine, its designed for gamers in mind, and these days gamers do not sit around on trains wanting to play games or something.We play at home, or travel to a place that has power sockets! I personally would only be playing where i have access to mains power, and wouldnt even mind if Dell decided not to have any battery in it at all (ofc this wont happen)
With such features as the large screen and the key board, this mobile concept seems to be, strictly, a mobile desktop. As a desktop, I can imagine it will always be on a desk with easy access to a power outlet.
I'm sure there will be some people who never use the battery, but I don't sapose that makes a battery useless. It would likely be like most notebooks in the sense that it would have a greatly integrated design, and as such, would use the best of the current mobile technology, which includes the energy effitiant design. It may be very usefule with a battery, and energy effitiant design would help if you use it in a vehicle like an RV or a boat.
They call it their mobile Concept. As a concept, I can expect it would use current technologies and simply include new models as mobile technologies improve.

And i think we should not worry about this too much since we've seen that Dell's been busy putting up the best i've seen in the Renegade that was unvieled in CES, I hope for corresponding specifications in this mobile replica too.
