Using Dell's INSANE 20' Laptop From 2006! XPS M2010

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

Hoping to get content out on a more frequent basis once I have a dedicated room for my filming. Our house is only weeks away from completion, so not long now! Thanks for being patient and watching the content I can currently put out 😊 - Nathan

Your PO BOX being used to as a very expensive tech (+shoes) waste disposal has me wheezing

[SalemTechsperts]

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!

Must have been so awkward opening up long-anticipated PO box packages just for them to be used shoes and earbuds. OMG

Thomas when sending the sneakers: my goals are beyond your understanding

I remember using it back in 2007. I got it brand new. and I kept using for years and years on Original software until I got my ThinkPad in march 2022 and I retired the XPS M2010 in june 2022 this XPS M2010 is a legend.

To remove the soft touch plastic you can use oven cleaning spray. Used it many times, works really well.

10:50 Are you paraphrasing Homer Simpson's "bed goes up, bed goes down" line?

[TheBasementChannel]

Channeling the spirit of the ‘luggables’ from the early 80s

There's also the HP Dragon HDX 9000 which was a 20 inch monstrosity. Great video BTW!

I can't believe someone randomly sent you, a tech YouTuber, a pair of shoes, much less one several sizes too small! Just so there's no confusion in case someone else wants to send you a pair, what size do you wear, Nathan? ;)

In all seriousness, I'm glad to see that Dell machine getting some exposure. I remember seeing articles about it when it was newer and being enamored with its futuristic design. You also had me nearly guffawing at the Simpsons reference!

I saw Linus tech Tips cover this awhile back so it's nice to see you got your hands on one of these tanks of a "laptop" as well

[virgiliovalentin]

quite an interesting device! tech in the 2000s was such a fun time when manufacturers were trying out different things
to me, this seems more like a desktop replacement than a full on, regular laptop and also kind of gives me vibes of being a all-in-one kind of device

[remixedcat]

Dell needs to bring these back w modern specs!!!

[abdullahtshabal]

For a nearly 20 years old computer, this one still looks quite modern on the outside

I saw it in Iron Man back in 2008 and it was a dream PC/Laptop for me for a few years. I've always kept is a dream layout of a portable PC. And here I am now many years later looking at spare parts on eBay from time to time with no chance of finding one in good condition and what's worse no chance it being able practical in any way. Thank you for showcasing it for us. No good reviews out there. It is a nostalgia.

I also have a M2010! Bought it a few years ago with the leather case and most of its accessories. And yes the rubber coating was a pain and had to remove it all the exact same way you did. I also have the same issue with the keyboard not connecting and its a pain. Absolutely lovely machine and I remember repairing one around 2010 and always wanted one since.

I love how personalized your content is, its not just any other restoration channel, like it has personality and substance and its really swag lolll keep on doing what ur doing

[inedex]

Framework laptop should make one like this. It would be crazy.

[patwollaston]

I literally just found your channel around a month ago and love it! Then got excited when you said you lived in SA because as do I! Then read that your PO box was located in Munno Para West Curtis road! I live 5 minutes away from there and finding this information out has made my day 🤣
