The wide format makes the Inspiron 8600 a bit of a chore to stuff into a briefcase, but also a sensational letterboxed-DVD-watching showpiece. It's an investment at $2,820 (at this writing, $2,570 after one of Dell's ever-changing rebate offers), but the 8600 is a stellar example of a desktop replacement that's a pound or two lighter and has better battery life than most of its competitors.
