Let's take a few quotes from the news.com article and extend them to more realistic terms:
"You can watch a DVD on a beautiful 20-inch screen, but then take that device to the office to do a presentation. You can play the latest video game, while recording TV and streaming live video. You can chat with friends while using video while riding the train," Parra said. "The PC is now the personal entertainment engine, until the piece of garbage that is Windows XP gives you the blue screen of death in about five minutes and renders the computer completely useless in a year or two."
"The design was inspired by jet engines, allowing for airflow cooling so that hard drives stay quiet and components stay cool, and we tried to mimic the sheer size of jet engines as well," Gruzen said.
Parra was careful to emphasize that service would be a large part of the product line, and that those on the other end of the phone line would be tenured, trained gamers who understand the needs of other gamers, but also don't speak English.
"The PC has evolved from a productivity platform into a digital entertainment platform, said Gruzen. "These products epitomize that space, while taking up every inch of space on your desk. Dell intends to be on the cutting edge here, now and into the future."
The customizable XPS 700 is also immediately available to order, but takes approximately 18 days for customization build, making it available no earlier than June 27. At least the Dell fans will get something while waiting another year for Windows Vista to come out.
