Advantages: 17" monitor, 5 in 1 memory card reader, WIFI
Disadvantages: Heavy and big

...Ive had the Dell xps m1710 ever since christmas and so far there ive liked it but there are disadvantages and are are advantages of the Dell XPS m1710. When i first got my laptop i got it with no Bluetooth and there was only a 2GB ram, Now i bought a Bluetooth moudle from the dell website for around £50 and i bought a 4GB ram of the dell website too. I have on my dell like any other new computers/laptops, Windows Vista mine is Windows Vista Ultimate which i think is very fast. The Advantages are... The screen is a 17" LCD monitor which is very good for watching movies and TV shows There is 7 music buttons on the front of the laptop which is very handy when you have your computer half closed and you dont want to flip it up and goto your media player to change the song or stop, play and pause or mute or just turn it up or down...

Advantages: very powerful, huge graphics capability, robust
Disadvantages: HEAVY!, keyboard could have been bigger

...: This laptop has a fantastic set of speakers for a portable machine, and it even has a built-in subwoofer for good bass sound. Very little distortion occurs, even at very high volumes which is impressive for a notebook PC. There are a load of LED lights on the fan vents, the mousepad, the speaker covers and the outer case which can be made to change colour and flash in a huge variety of ways, even in time with Windows Media Player or iTunes, which is cool. The overall look of the XPS is very funky, with a machined aluminium cover that can be replaced with a variety of different colours. A Tool for any Job: The M1710 is covered in USB ports (2 on the left hand side and 4 on the back) making it easy to plug in a whole range of accessories. Laptops I've had in the past have always been lacking in this respect, so I was impressed when I looked... Read review

The touch pad is nice, and matted so easy to move the cursor on, it features scrolling zones for left/right and up... Read review
