Are they just setting out to finally convince all of their customers that if they built machines like Apple does they'd cost a lot more than Apple's? "Apple Tax" my ass.
The XPS line is Dell's attempt to appeal to gamers etc who want to by top of line(expensive anyway) Laptops etc. Much like Alienware (who is now owned by Dell) it's designed to appeal to a niche market. The notion that they're trying to build an iMac clone is frankly absurd (as these are obviously not price for wide market appeal). Just because they try to make shell pretty doesn't mean it's an attempt at an iMac clone.
im an apple fanboy myself, but the truth is, this design was not ripped off from apple. it was ripped off from an old sony design that they used to sell at compusa about 2 years ago, same features, just didnt have the bluetooth kb and mouse. to dells credit, how much innovation can you do in an all in one 20 inch computer without attracting apples lawyers?
Apple DID NOT INVENT putting the web cam on the computer either, gosh you people sure do like to suck Jobs eh? All they did was integrate a s**tty ass camera that you can't replace into the frame, that's it. Nothing more, wake up from your wet-dream(s).Also I looked in the heavily biased Wiki you have above, and not once did it mention the word "invent".

Osborne, give me a break... 5 inch CRT was good for checking that the power was on. Why do you think they went t**s-up in 4 years?
