  • Abstract:  Subtle and sleek are two adjectives that cant be used to describe Dells latest gaming laptop. The XPS M1730 is not only a huge beast, but looks like its had the same treatment that cars get on Pimp My Ride. The lid has two huge XPS logos which ar...

  • We still arent entirely convinced about how much extra benefit the inclusion of a PhysX accelerator in your laptop will offer, as so few games support the hardware. At least Dells aggressive pricing means that you arent paying through the nose for t...

  Published: 2008-01-17, review by: alphr.com

  • Abstract:  Dells ambitious and quirky gaming laptop packs in a stunning set of features. Dells XPS gaming laptop isnt exactly subtle. Vivid red light streams through dappled speaker surrounds, bright customisable panels highlight the XPS name in strident lett...

  • Superb build quality, Great screen, Powerful performance, Comfortable to use
  • Pricey, Brash styling, Some may find it too large and bulky
  • When it comes to gaming laptops, Dell knows its target audience and the XPS M1730 (£1,639 inc. VAT) plays straight into this market. The 17-inch machine comes with the latest feature-set and even incorporates dual graphics cards for the best possible g...

  • Although youre paying a price nearing the £2,000 mark, you get a machine offering top performance in return. The Dell XPS M1730 is definitely for the more serious laptop users and gamers out there, and it would be a good desktop-replacement thanks to...

  • Plenty of power, great design

  Published: 2007-11-16, Author: Rory , review by: CNET.co.uk

  • Ageia PhysX processor; SLI graphics; high-resolution screen
  • Design is a bit tacky; comparatively small hard drive options
  • The XPS M1730 lives up to its nickname of being a beast of a laptop. Its a complete brute to take anywhere, and the battery life is shocking, but its the fastest laptop weve tested ...

  • Abstract:  Dell XPS M1710 has those brazen looks. It has a metallic black/striking red lid which will easily attract anyone’s attention. Put it in a room during the night and switch of all the room lights. This system will look like a UFO with the glowing lights....

  • Superb keyboard offers excellent typing experience, Even high-end games are playable
  • Fan noise gets noticeably loud on occasion, Should have a 1080p display
  • Dell's latest XPS 17 offers a solid gaming experience coupled with a keyboard and ample storage, but the lack of 1080p resolution seems odd. ...
