One of the products Dell is announcing today is the XPS 420 Desktop computer. This system starts at $1499 and has Intel multi-core processors and a choice of graphics by ATI or NVIDIA. An exclusive Dell option called Xcelerator helps to speed up activities like downloading video or uploading it.

Dell says Xcelerator can get recorded video ready for portable devices up to 25% faster and reduce the burden of video conversion up to 86%. The machine also comes with a Dell exclusive Adobe software bundle.

The included software has Adobe Photoshop elements 6, Adobe Premiere Elements 4, and Adobe Soundbooth CS3. “Our goal is to help people turn their digital lifestyle dreams into reality, whether it’s viewing family moments and memories, telling your story with photos and videos, creating videos for social networking sites like YouTube, recording TV shows or converting vinyl album libraries to digital files,” said Karen Plotkin, director of consumer desktop marketing. “The combination of the XPS 420 and the Adobe Elements Studio software makes it easy to harness creativity and imagination and share ideas, style and personality.”
