Advantages: very powerful, huge graphics capability, robust Disadvantages: HEAVY!, keyboard could have been bigger
I got this laptop for work because of its power, graphics capability and looks. The core2duo processor handles most applications very comfortably, and the 512MB graphics card deals with complicated CAD software at work very well.
Heavyweight Champion of the World:
The main critiscism I have of this laptop is the size and weight. It's HUGE, measuring around 290mmx400mmx50mm. This does of course mean that you get a lovely wide screen with high resolution, ... ...a laptop bag that it fits in! The screen quality is very good, and the widescreen makes it easy to watch movies and TV without the need for another monitor.
The keyboard is still a standard laptop-sized one, which is a shame when with a machine of this size there was plenty of room for a separate number pad.

With the newest configurations of the XPS M1710, Dell adds Intel's Core 2 Duo processor to its market-leading and CNET Editors' Choice-winning gaming machine. The new processor brings remarkable application speed to the already-powerful XPS M1710 and extends its battery life--both good things. But with the same graphics card as its predecessor, this new version of the XPS M1710 doesn't realize any gains in gaming performance.
Before I begin, I warn you that I have a lot to say. I will try to be succinct (as always), but there's a very good chance I'll fail. For your information, I am writing this review on my shiny new Mac! I should also warn you that I have exams starting more
