Dell debuts new gaming PC
Dell Inc. started taking special orders for its new XPS 630 gaming desktop today and will make the PC available to all customers tomorrow.
The XPS 630 is the latest update to Dell’s line of mid-tier gaming desktops. With the new PC, Dell hopes to reach a growing number of customers who occasionally enjoy gaming but don’t need a souped-up machine.
“Not everyone wants a $4,000 or $5,000 gaming rig,” spokeswoman Anne Camden said from London, where she was attending an event to launch the new PC.
While the XPS 630 doesn’t provide the high-end juice of the company’s more-expensive XPS 700 series, it can run some complex games and provides plenty of power to handle household computing chores.
The new model will start at $1,249. Customers who signed up for a pre-launch discount today can order a specially configured system with a second graphics card and an extra year’s warranty for $1,299, a discount of $479.
