The XPS 420 is powered by multi-core Intel processors and choice of an ATI or Nvidia graphics card. The exclusive Dell Xcelerator option can get recorded video ready for portable devices up to 25% faster while reducing the burden of video conversion up to 86%. The price of the desktop PC starts at US$1,499.
The 20-inch SP2008WFP display is designed for a wide variety of immersive multimedia experiences and features an ultra-fast response time of 2ms grey-to-grey for complex gaming and motion video without ghosting and delays.
