Dell XPS M1730 Review

Recently, we rounded-up a trio of high-end gaming notebooks and found that, with the right hardware, you don't have to make a lot of compromises from a desktop gaming setup. Performance and prices varied, but once you start to pack a pair of hard drives and a pair of graphics cards into a 17-inch notebook, you're looking at $3500 or more. Not to be outdone, Dell has updated their XPS line with the M1730, now available with two of the fastest mobile graphics chips you can get and the fastest mobile CPU on the market.

With a Core 2 Extreme X9000 mobile CPU running at 2.8GHz, a pair of GeForce 8800M GTX cards in SLI, and two 200GB 7200 RPM drives in RAID 0 configuration, it's no surprise that this $4500 monster is fast. Way fast. It's easily the fastest notebook computer we've tested yet. That kind of speed comes with some compromises, of course. Dell XPS M1730 Gaming Laptop Review Linked by LT Hacker
