The Leopard has landed: The Mac OS X 10.5 upgrade process

Overall, The Leopard installation process was a flawless one. The dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) that some had reported didn't turn up.

    Dell XPS 420 Full Review »
    Dell XPS 420
    The good: SideShow screen extends Vista Gadgets to the top of the system; nearly complete line of digital-media options lets you make this system the hub of your networked home; strong support. The bad: Not quite the best bang for the buck as far as pure processing power; no HD DVD/Blu-ray combo option; needs better software to expose the benefits of the hardware MPEG-2 transcoder. The bottom line: Dell's new XPS 420 offers almost all of the latest in PC-based digital-video capability, as well as a few unique features you won't find elsewhere. The default configuration fares poorly against the other new PCs, but if you're willing to spend money on upgrades, you can turn this system into a powerful digital-media nerve center.
