Dell brings the ugly with the XPS M2010 laptop

Have you ever seen something so hideously unattractive that it makes you want to lose your lunch? If not, take a gander at the Dell XPS M2010 “notebook” computer. This beast is, quite honestly, one the least attractive computers we’ve ever seen. To be fair, it’s got quite a feature set, sporting an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of on board RAM, up to a 500GB hard drive, 8 speakers plus a sub woofer, 20.1″ widescreen display, a 256MB ATI^® Mobility^TM RADEON^TM X1800 Graphics Card, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, and much more. Unfortunately, specs are not everything in this game, with visual appeal accounting for a significant portion of consumer decision making. If Dell hopes to compete in the “uber-laptop” game, then they need to run, not walk, to the drawing board and re-hash their design strategy. Brace yourself for more hands-on shots after the jump.
