Dell XPS 420
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 PM
"The XPS 420 MiniView display uses Microsoft's SideShow technology the offer supplemental information and interface independent of Windows on a separate 3-by-2-inch 320 by 240 display. The SideShow screen can be used to show standard information like a clock and system status, but can also display images and video, music playback information, a Webcam image, and more. SideShow support is built into Vista, so as additional SideShow-enabled widgets and applications come out, XPS 420 users will be able to take advantage of them. The XPS 420 also features a rubberizes top panel (so your electronic toys don't slide off) and an internal cable management system to make add-ons and upgrades easier. "
Nice to see some thought going into case designs. I had not heard about SideShow yet, but seems like a great feature, but it is not clear from the pictures if the screen is movable, otherwise that looks like an awkward position. Also, they could probably add a few USB ports to the top for good measure.
