Re: Dell XPS M140 Review

A lot of people would buy MCE because it could connect to domains which was something Home cant do. I think MS took that out of MCE 2005 for that reason.

BTW; you're right about laptops being hot commodities on that Dell Outlet site

Actually, there is a registry hack that will allow an MCE 2005 system to join a domain but one would lose the media extender functions.

As for the concern that MCE 2005 is based on Win XP Home it is not but is XP Pro with additional media extensions.

Thanks a bunch for the review - I've been considering this exact machine...

Question - do you play WoW by any chance and if so how does it run on the M140? That's the only game I'd even consider playing on this (pwning AV while sitting in class would just be the ultimate lol)

Its a good laptop, but i think the aleinware is more bang for the buck.
While I have nothing against Alienware, and in fact I was considering the Sentia m3200, I just couldnt live with a notebook that has "gills".

I don't play WOW. The only games I loaded were Zoo Tycoon 2 and Vice City. Vice City was forced to 640 res and I wasn't able to set it higher. In game though everything was extremely smooth even with draw distance set very high and the low res really wasnt noticed on a 14" screen like it would be on a 17 or 19". Zoo Tycoon could be played as if I was on my A64 machine however... but it's not exactly a demanding game.
