ONLY A FEW ULTRAPORTABLES EQUAL THE COMBINATION OF PERFORMANCE and features found on the Dell XPS MI210 (Vista). The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 (Vista) and the SonyVAIO SZ Series, which do. are both darlings of the marketplace. which tells you the type of company the MI210 keeps. Dell labels the MI210 as an ultraportable; I'm inclined to call it a borderline mainstream laptop. The unit weighs 4.9 pounds, which is about a pound heavier than both the Lenovo X60 and Sony SZ series. It's practically the same weight as the 5-pound Apple MacBook 13-inch. Granted, you have to take into account the 85-Wh extended battery and the integrated optical drive, which add to the bulk.

Performance is nothing short of spectacular for a laptop this small. The 2-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 is the same standard-voltage, dual-core processor that powers the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 (Vista). All, in all, a true winner from Dell's stable. he XPS brand stands for many things, including uncanny performance, superior service quality, and excitement-inducing features. The Dell XPS MI210 packs all of this into a 4.9 pound frame-not the lightest ultraportable, but portable enough for all your travels.
