DELL XPS M1730 – STILL UNBEATABLE

Though we have seen an impressive line of laptops with cutting edge technologies, the Dell XPS M1730 still remains unbeatable in the gaming arena, both in price and performance. This is mostly due to the fantastic customizing options offered by Dell. The options are virtually limitless and the price invariably shoots up as you upgrade the basic version. The XPS M1730 packs a Core 2 Extreme X9000 mobile CPU running at 2.8GHz, 4GB DDR2 RAM, dual 320GB 7200RPM HDD, a pair of GeForce 8800M GTX cards in SLI, a USB ports for HDMI, S-Video, Firewire and Express Card , Bluetooth/WiFi and of course a webcam. You can take a step further and opt for a 3.4GHz processor, Blu-ray and WWAN too. The result of such a mix is mind blowing but this pack will weigh you down by almost 10.6lbs ruling out mobility. But this ensemble is aimed as a desktop replacement for extreme gaming and mobility doesn’t factor into it. If you still brave it out and decide to travel with it, you can opt for a 9 cell battery that will give you some life saving time. Moreover, you will have to dish out a whopping $4000 for this package which will vary depending on your specifications. But it will be money well spent as Dell XPS M1730 is the fastest and the most powerful gaming laptop that you will be able to find on the shelves for that price.
