Consumer Electronics Show attendees can preview the next wave in digital entertainment, gaming and home networking through an array of innovative concepts, conversations and technology demonstrations at the Dell Lounge.
Featured displays include a premium 16-inch concept laptop with a picture-perfect full HD 16:9 aspect ratio and a preview of a mainstream XPS gaming desktop that will offer performance approaching purpose-built gaming systems. Dell will also demo a high-definition digital home entertainment solution that brings TV to the PC and vice versa, using CableCARD and the Extender for Windows Media Center device from Linksys .
Several new products will make a public appearance in the Dell Lounge, including the colorful Inspiron 1525 laptop, an award-winning 30-inch UltraSharp display and the distinctive Crystal flat panel display, which was demonstrated at last year’s CES as a concept product.
Dell will also engage members of the ReGeneration – people of all ages who care about the environment –through two illuminated graffiti walls asking “What Does Green Mean to You?” Conference attendees are encouraged to join a conversation with Dell and their peers by writing their ideas and observations on the meaning of “green.”
16-inch Display = True 16:9 Aspect Ratio
Movie buffs and videofiles are urged to check out a concept XPS laptop with a 16-inch 16:9 aspect display with full HD 1080p resolution. While most laptop available today feature a widescreen display, the true entertainment enthusiast knows that typical 14.1-, 15.4- and 17-inch laptop displays feature a 16:10 ratio versus the 16:9 aspect ratio used in most HDTVs. The most accurate representation of video content for select Blu-ray movies and digital TV is seen with a 16:9 display. When the source video is 16:9, the movie images will fill the entire 16-inch display with no letterboxing.
XPS 630i : Middleweight Contender With Heavyweight Power
Starting tomorrow, CES attendees can get a first look at Dell’s XPS entry-level gaming desktop, expected to be formally announced this spring with pricing and configuration details. While the XPS 630i is more compact than the powerhouse XPS 720 family, it won’t compromise on performance. The XPS 630i can be seen in a variety of locations around CES, including Sony and Creative Labs as well as the Dell Lounge.
