Dell XPS M1730

Dell XPS M1730

Frazier Barretto, Jul 07, 2008 1258 hrs IST

The Dell XPS M1730 is a monster of a laptop that can be a perfect replacement to a gaming desktop.

Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 (2.8 GHz), 4GB RAM, 8800 GTX Sli (1GB), 200GB HDD, Sharp Screen (1920 x 1200 pixels), BIOS OC 2.8 - 3.4GHz.

Heavy, No HDMI, Poor battery performance.

Just like in the first person shooter (FPS) games where the monsters keep getting bigger, faster and powerful, over the past month or so I've been having a similar experience while testing laptops. First it was the Asus Lamborghini VX3 and then came the Acer Aspire Gemstone Blue laptops and now the Dell XPS M1730.


In our Techtree Notes we had given up you a snippet of what this monster has under its hood.

"The laptops Dual-DVD drive ..." I actually thought that it has two DVD drives and looked for pics. Shouldn't that be Dual-Layer DVD drive?

hey folks..... thee stuff are produced for a small segment of people....and it does the job..it has been bult for..(i.e) games and multitasking and high defination.. ....well battery tech is not so advanced to power such a beast at all times...screen is so big...etc things....and video card too...... THIS A IS A DESKTOP REPLACEMENT LAPTOP..which have to be fitted with wall charger at all times...... THERE IS NO WAY of comparing it with a desktop...u can do many things with money yaar....aree ppl saying we wud make 3 times fast pc....instead i guess...just but a ps3 and dozens of titles....u can do that too with so much money...... but the point is the laptop does what it is made for !!!!!! thanks abhishekk from chandigarh

Fact is no one is going to buy it and then use it for what its worth ... Those who can buy wouldn't likely have the time to play "games" ... While those who play "games" wont have money to buy it. Its a Laptop for the "rich kids" with condescending dads. However such a market segment in India will be quite small !!

4.81 kg................ who's gonna put that on lap.

Mayank Shukla | Pune | 08/07/08 01:52 PM | Report abuse Reply

Just a correction, The Right side of the Laptop does not have a PCMCIA Slot, instead it is an Express Card Slot

SZV | B'lore | 08/07/08 01:12 PM | Report abuse Reply

for that price i can get a desktop dats 3 times more powerful and has more space and more mem.... but i guess dat wud defeat the entire concept of a laptop....

Dhruv | New Delhi | 07/07/08 06:38 PM | Report abuse Reply

how can something be more 3 times powerful then this and i dont expect anyone buys this for the battery life so wouldn't consider it while reviewing

Anonymous | gannavaram | 07/07/08 08:02 PM | Report abuse

lol i was just about to say the same thing... for that price you could get a desktop that wud handle any game that came out in the following years!!! :D

EvilNeo | Kerala | 08/07/08 01:03 PM | Report abuse

Funny that we still call it "laptop" !! Just imagine placing it on your lap... it may even burn the best of jeans in few minutes, if you are careless enough :-)
