That looks like it actually has some decent speakers. I wish I could say the same about my iMac. Two speakers and all the necessary wiring kind of ruins the minimalism of the all-in-one design.
the BORG (barak obama religious groupies) are just doing what they have been trained to do. and their eyesight is based on movement, so just stand still and they won't be able to see you.
man I'm getting sick of this gizmodo politics bs. listen, if I decide to give my money to charity, that's MY choice. If the government steps in and threatens me with fines and/or jail time to make me pay extra taxes so that THEY can give that money (well, a significantly smaller portion of that money as they will have to pay for their salaries and other costs associated with running a 'charity') to a bunch of people with a track record of making monumentally bad decisions in their lives - THAT'S SOCIALISM. And I thought we had all figured out that that kind of policy doesn't work with the USSR already. Because ultimately, fewer and fewer people will bust their balls in the workplace, and less and less money will be made overall, less goods made overall, and more and more people will opt to go on the social services bandwagon - ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO EXPAND IT DAMMIT - and ultimately that economic model will fail, miserably.
And you can say capitalism has failed us miserably, but 1. this isn't true 100% capitalism here and 2. if we hadn't bailed out those f4#@ing banks it would have sucked for a few years longer but ultimately the free market would have corrected itself on its own.
sorry to bring politics into a nice tech blog, but y'know what? you Giz writers seem to be hell bent on telling the whole world how in love with nObama y'all are, so have at it amigos.
I see people talking about how good it looks, and where can they get that keyboard, etc.
This thing looks like crap in that drabby black on black, with the $2 speakers flaring from the sides, reminding people how cheap this thing looks. It comes with a keyboard that came with a 90's IBM P/S 2 keyboard and mouse for upwards of 2 grand.
BTW, Gateway tried this in 2002 with their "media center " pc's, which were an epic fail.
Instead of just donating money to AIDS, they should install a craplet like SETI@Home (for AIDS) or something that does some actual fighting while you're idle.
They install them for all sorts of other BS, why not put something that's a little useful in there too? Power bills be damned, especially if it's quad core who needs quad core from something with a 9600M? They're not going to be playing Crys... Farcry2 on this thing.
Charity is the opposite of redistribution of the wealth, because it is voluntary, and not mandated by socialist/communist types like B. Hussein Obama. Charity is the natural end of capitalistic wealth. Do you really not understand this? No, you apparently don't.

Chill out on the socialism and the charity and the viability and the bailouts and the economic models.

If they sell 10,000 units they (Dell) gets to donate $500,000-$800,000 of customers cash donations and get a tax break for themselves.
