Video and audio are integrated, not terribly surprising. The power supply is 87 percent efficient, well above the green 80-plus benchmark. One startling revelation is that the bamboo sleeve option inflates the price by $130! The wireless keyboard and mouse option adds just $50 to the price, however.

Needless to say, a top-of-the-line model easily crosses the $1,000 mark. Dell's shipping estimate is August 12 (as of this writing). Min/max specs below.
