Pictures of the C610 next to the XPS

Here are some pictures of the old Dell Latitude C610 next to the new Dell Ispiron XPS.  Click on the thumbnail picture if you want to see the full image.

Top View - this shows how much bigger the XPS is than the C610 for height and width. Going to be a little more to carry around.

Back View - this shows how much thicker the XPS is than the C610 as well as the additional ports.

Front View - this shows the screens open on the two laptops. The XPS is 15.6 and the C610 is 14.1 screens.

Power Adapters - Check out the size of the power adapter! I think I'm going to order another one to keep at work...

So far I am really impressed with the performance of the XPS. The screen refresh rate is fantastic. It even opens Outlook 2003 as fast as a normal application opens (the C610 took a little while to open Outlook). Testing out the battery life this morning, which I am only expecting to be around an hour. I know, bummer 1 hour -> but the thing has 2 or 3 fans in it (not sure yet - but it doesn't get hot)

Jason,

I've had my Inspiron 9100 now for about 3 months now and I've yet to have it overheat. The "Power Brick" though, does get extremely hot over long term use, but the laptop case is relatively cool. You have a good idea about ordering another power brick and keeping it at work. I don't know why I hadn't thought about doing that rather than lug my current brick around. Guess I figured if I had to truly be "mobile", I needed to take it with me anyway :-)

Enjoy your new machine. I know I am (despite it's weight and that "brick")

Actually Steve Hebert (http://dotnetjunkies.com/weblog/sdhebert/) gave me the idea to buy another power supply to keep at work.
