Dell XPS M1730

Nicknamed The Beast by DELL, this 'laptop' certainly lives up to it's name. First off, I have yet to encounter any of the issues that many people are experiencing. Although I have only had the laptop for little over a year, it's continuously been rock solid and has never failed me. The M1730 is clearly aimed at the gaming world. This is good for me because I am a gamer. The model I purchased had dual Nvidia 8700m GTs. Unfortunately, by the time I was able to buy this laptop, Dell no longer had the 8800m GTS as an option. But never mind, 512Mb in SLi is still pretty awesome. So awesome in fact ... more

As you can see in the description of the product this is a powerful laptop and really only worth buying if you are going to be playing alot of GFX intensive games. They vary in price depending on how to tailor it but it can be anything from £1500-£2500. Before buying any dell system not just a XPS it is crucial you look online for any Dell vouchers, generally you can get 10% of right away if you do a bit of research. I managed to get 15% off and a few freebies thrown in with my purchase. Also it is worth mentioning that you only get 1 years full cover insurance for these machines, it is going ... more

Like any other Dell product I have ever owned (god knows why I continue to puchase from them) this laptop has broken several times since it's purchase in January 2009. Mine came with 2.5ghz duo core, 4gb of ram, 300gb hdd, 17" screen, 5 USB ports, wireless card, Geforce 8800M graphics card. When it's running, it's sexy as hell. Fantastic specs for a laptop. When it's running, it runs very smoothly- I often even try to overload the system with a whole bunch of browers open, world of warcraft, skype, msn and music streaming and the only thing that suffers is my browsing speed! However, the ... more

Yes. This is a very expensive machine but it is well worth it. I bought it equipped with two 8700GT NVIDIA cards and it was well worth it. IT is able to play all of the games out at the moment with ease. But only when plugged into the wall which, is no easy matter with the massive brick of a changer. But once you see the graphics you'll forget everything wrong with it. Bad things includy a squeaky screen, when being moved back and forth and the charger, which is big and faulty. Good things include the graphics. Some niceties of this machine include the full keyboard and G-15 keyboard LCD which ... more

A huge beast you can say for this laptop which is bascially made for Games which is what i feel. It has XPS logos which glows the touch pad which has red lights you can change the colors, It has a huge keyboard with lot of functions, 17 inch wide screen and plus it also has a 2 megapixel builtin webcam. It is very highly priced, and it does give resoultion but which in turns make the icons small so you need to stress your eyes sometime to read, also at this price it does not have a blue ray disc option, if you want it then you pay more for it, which is again asking for some more. It also not ... more
