From the aggressive to the elegant resolution XPS notebook Past and Present
Dell's customer intimacy John Blain that the next XPS and Alienware will be integrated developer, to jointly develop new products Alienware brand, the "aliens" into a world of individualized high-end gaming PC brand, and XPS series transition to high end consumer PC brand, then Dell Inspiron 13r(3010-d330) battery is an important market segment moves, the next day, XPS shows the performance began to decrease, fade out high-end gaming market, Alienware in gaming increasingly violent, and then entered the internal market, attention out of control.
Conceived as a foster child personally, did not let Dell XPS and disappear, but to make it into a new direction.
For the introverted Asians, past Dell XPS tough style and there are some out of our aesthetic, evocative of the American Hummer off-road vehicles, a huge body, straight corner design usually only won the male Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 battery users love, long-haired beauty who the figure is used in XPS M1730, but I do not agree to do so, you know it is about 5 kg weight, this is not considered the weight of the power adapter.
In addition to large overweight body, XPS laptop was a Dell product the most individuality, which is reflected in the color, materials and lighting effects and other aspects, in short, as the positioning of high-end Dell Inspiron n4010d battery products, XPS looks cool on the right.
In the following days, XPS series for transformation, the particular "high-end game Terminator" is no longer to replace this position is the same alumnus Alienware, by virtue of the gaming resources accumulated over the years, Alienware surging, XPS still high-end, but has been excluded from the list of gaming notebooks.
It is noteworthy that, although the Dell back in 2006 on the learning of Alienware, but for the internal market and other factors, to complete the process of transformation XPS series lived a long time, today's XPS series notebooks Studio 1737 Series are the establishment of a their own style.
14-inch XPS 14z less than 2 kg, with a lighter version of SSD solid state drive, only 1.87 kg. Let's compare the previous product, the old section 17 inches XPS M1730 4.8 kg, the new XPS 17 (17 inch) to 30% lighter. Apple even compares favorably with the 15-inch XPS 15z stand-alone weighs only 2.499 kg, compared with the size of the Macbook Pro (2.54 kg) also lighter.
You can see, Dell XPS series body attaches great importance to the quality of almost no use of the traditional family model of plastic material, but in atomic number 6 fiber, aluminum alloy-based play, for firmness, heat, light of the body are very big help, in recent years began to select anodized aluminum, can importantly improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy, the rate of change the old slow laptop, and as long as the market need, the surface can be colored. We see more and more high-end notebook computer to start using anodized aluminum material (in the Apple Macbook as the representative), XPS series laptops also will be advanced. (Recommended reading material on the body: a comprehensive analysis notebook Latitude v740 shell material).
XPS high-end consumer market restructuring, Alienware main gaming PC market. From the positioning point of view, XPS positioning higher ages, it gradually lifted too fashionable, stunning design, efforts to highlight the fine details, such as body, touch the edge of the silver metallic plate waist, and four a rounded rectangle, and a portion of the speaker hole, heat a form, then no border or screen shape, from the American rough, assertive to delicate, calm. Of course, with changes in the product, its audience groups has also been changed.
13 inches fuselage carrying 14-inch screen, this conception has been achieved many years ago, but who in XPS indeed be a big turning point. You know, the border width of the narrow, we must take into account include the number of problems, including firmness, but also very obvious benefits, the first is a smaller body size, while B-side of the screen and all the compact interface looks Tebie , has a better visual effect, previously Fujitsu S6510F had to "13 inches 14 inches the mold" and famous.
Chocolate by adding backlit keyboard to bring a lot of applied, no complicated design shortcuts, keyboard function fully meet the daily operational needs. Through actual use, we found that typing on the keyboard and touchpad left and right buttons is very quiet, with the backlight design, very decent when used at night. Unlike Alienware, backlight color can not be edited, but I believe the XPS users and do not mind this too unusual features.
"Dell XPS M1730 notebook Latitude Cpi a366xt with a two-stage whole body screen hinge. Machine screen hinge design of the damping force of the heavier, opened the screen in time collaboration needs two hands to open it." - From a few years ago Dell XPS M1730 Review
Sorry about that, although the older XPS screen hinge looks sturdy strong, but smart in general, not with one hand off the screen because the keyboard will also lift, would be inconvenient for some time, perhaps you may think that requires some harsh, but we have reviewed in recent years in the high-end Dell Inspiron 1464 battery products, vendors are beginning to attach importance to screen axis damping force, in my mind, can open and close with one hand more and more products.
The problem is not the screen size, but the shaft damping design, I found the new XPS has solved this problem, one-hand opening and closing the screen is no longer the annoying problem, the details of the upgrade can be.
Homogenization of the design difficult to attract users, the Dell XPS designers are fully aware of this, so you see the hidden design of the hard disk light off the remaining battery check function, the bottom of the fuselage-one design, high-end laptop on a different design, is not it?
Dell XPS 3D performance was irresistible, after years of development, the XPS now active in the video entertainment Dell Studio 1537 battery market, if you look at Dell's website you can see, in the consumer market for home users, Inspiron Inspiron series is positioned as a cost-effective, XPS positioning flagship for the video, Alienware alien is still maintained the pursuit of high-end games. Nowadays the Dell XPS series, the configuration is changing, the configuration change is not mentioned here as the technology development has brought performance.
M1530M old XPS M1730 equipped with top of the NVIDIA graphics card then, and now are still fierce battle Alienware's top games market, and XPS series will reduce graphics performance of a file, choose nowadays the mainstream market with significant independence. There is a reason to do so, in most of the time, was alone in the end, and meet the high-definition video playback and 3D games run smoothly mainstream needs, appropriate, XPS series will be more energy into these areas, such as the XPS 17 joined the 3D display and is equipped with the JBL brand speakers, in the video has a better Dell Studio 1749 battery performance.
Meanwhile, Optimus switching technology with Nvidia, Dell XPS model is no longer a high-power "electric tiger", switch to the Intel Core Duo processor, the second generation graphics card, significantly reducing the overall power consumption, in large part improved endurance, XPS M1730 has a half hours of battery life, has now been elevated to more than 4 hours, greatly enhanced the usefulness of entertainment applications, the XPS line is a major configuration changes on performance.
Dell XPS 14z is not a performance-based game-play Latitude c810 p1.0g product, but for high-end audio and video entertainment market, continued high level of workmanship XPS series of notebooks. The entire body all-metal body design, not only looks very rugged and the grade, the first time to attract the eye and meet the psychological needs of the owner.
In addition, XPS 14z many aspects has its own characteristics, such as thermal windows distinctive design style, size large, good quality speaker system, a unique arrangement of interfaces and so on, every detail so that we can see this product carefully crafted, while video playback performance and long battery life are more in the high-end level.
And then from the XPS to the Studio XPS Adamo XPS, and finally returned to the XPS, for the PC market in terms of, XPS high-end entertainment has always played a role, since Dell acquired Alienware, the XPS gradually changing position, has high-end gaming notebook Latitude Cpxj market by the alien to work hard, and XPS is the main audio-visual experience, also has two similar brand positioning certainly not conducive to the company's overall strategy, and this was also in recent years, Dell's consumer market for entertainment segment results.
