Back in 2006 Dell released the rather large 20" XPS M2010. It's so big that you can hardly call it a laptop AND it has a carry handle! Callum from Australian Computer Traders was very kind and sent this over. Let's clean this one up and see how it runs here in 2024. It's very sticky and the rubber is melting! #dell #laptop #m2010

Back when companies would take risks and let the engineers do what they do best! I had the pleasure of working on one of these in 2011. The GPU was failing so I removed it and baked it in the oven. Got it back up and running again and the 1 thing I remember is just how loud those speakers were. I'm jealous you found one that's still functional. Most of these had the GPU fry. Awesome video man!

HP currently has the Move series of battery powered AIOs that they advertise as being able to take anywhere. They are 23.8" and come with a wireless KB/trackpad. To me, something like that or anything Dell or HP ever made to fill that space is just stupid. Portable AIO computers is a category that never took off and for good reason. If Apple slapped a battery in an iMac, maybe people (not me) would line up in waves to buy one, but HP or Dell doing it is just plane wrong.

If some company (Apple? Lenovo? System 76?) could get a modern equivalent of this down to 17” completely folded up (to facilitate traveling with it easily) and maybe make the monitor and keyboard expandable this would be an utterly badass design for a portable computer. As it stands now it’s wildly impractical as far as portability goes.

I sold one of those in 2006 when Dell still had kiosks in the mall. If I remember correctly, the customer was a retiree, and definitely not a business person. Just trying to spend all his money instead of leaving it to his kids. He asked for the most expensive laptop at the time and I suggested the Dell "Briefcase". I was shocked the entire time I was helping the customer order it. I kept shaking my head and asking, "Are you sure you want this?"

What an absolute gem of a find, love the video! I'm hanging on to an old Dell Studio XPS M1340 from ~2009, it's a cool little machine with two (very slow) Nvidia GPUs in SLI. I was pleasantly surprised that Dell make drivers available and easy to find to this day. The soft touch finishes on tech from this era is a nightmare. I've got an old Gainward GTX 295 graphics card that is sticky and covered in dust because the rubber coating is degrading.

Use baby powder (talcum powder) on perished rubber. Sprinkle the powder onto the rubber and then blow it off. It doesn't look pretty but it dries the stickiness right up and leaves the rubber slick to the touch. IPA speeds the deterioration up, hence the need to remove the rubber layer.

Wow ! I saw this computer once in my life, and I can't believe the time gone by since. The Art Director of the small company I worked for bought it in preparation for a two month vacation to Brazil so that he would be able to work etc. At the end of his stay, he gave the computer to the people who owned the home where he stayed. Going from the sublime to the ridiculous I had a book-bag that I really liked. All of a sudden, the water proof coating on the inside broke down to a sticky mess.

You could use some "magic erasers/sponges" to smooth the surface even more, worked quite well on my rubberized thinkpad

Wow, I fixed thousands of computers around this time and thought I'd seen everything, but I've never even heard of this crazy thing! What an absolute unit. I gotta say it is PEAK 2006 though! The T7200 was a great proc at the time, so refreshing to use C2D after the disasters of Northwood and Prescott. I'd actually love to see something like this but with modern specs and without the plasticky build quality.

Around 8:00 -> I use nail polish remover or acetone to get rid of that melted rubber. I have used in various mice etc. Works great. 👍🏻

I used to have one, had a problem with the mxm graphics that lead to crash when subjected to any moderate (at the time) workload, but for a "laptop" it's sound was second to none.

The last laptop I saw that size was an Olivetti SX-20 from the early 1990s. It too had a detachable, somewhat desktop like keyboard. It also weighed literally 8kg but had maybe an 8” monochrome LCD screen.
