Dell has added a low cost XPS branded notebook to its product line, the XPS M140, to complement the XPS M170 introduced in September. This "budget" minded laptop has a 14.1" widescreen display and weighs in at 5.5 pounds. Starting at $999, it is a far cry from the high-end, desktop replacement M170, which starts at $2699.
Stock configuration for the new laptop includes a Pentium M 740 operating at 1.73GHz, 512MB DDR2 RAM, 40GB hard disk, Intel integrated graphics, a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive, 5-in-1 card reader, and integrated 802.11g wireless. By comparison, the M170 offers a 17" widescreen display and high end graphics such as NVIDIA's GeForce Go 6800 Ultra and 7800 GTX.
The XPS M140 is available for order now and will begin shipping in November.
