    CNET Review

    November 7, 2005

    The Good: Low starting price; very good mobile performance and long battery life; bright, wide-aspect screen; built-in multimedia controls; can play CDs and DVDs without booting to Windows; double-layer DVD burner.

    The Bad: Loaded configurations get pricey; on the heavier side for a thin-and-light; mediocre speakers.

    The Bottom Line: Quite portable for a Media Center laptop, the Dell XPS M140 offers a worthy set of multimedia and entertainment features, great performance, and good battery life.
