Is their anyway to program the fan LED's to be tied into CPU load? I would love to have them ice blue while idle but slowly changing to red depending on cpu temp and throttle. That would be badass.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have this and the lights are useful because I can hardly see what I'm typing at night and it ruins the experience to turn lights on while you are playing some games or just want the mellow atmosphere. I would probably go with Dell if I hadn't already bought a few ASUS laptops and PCs.
MSI GT725-075US on newegg for $1600...very nice and affordable gaming laptop Intel P9500 @ 2.53ghz ATI 4850 mobility (10,421 3dmark06) 17inch 1920x1200 resolution Bluray ROM 4gb DDR2 320gb 7200rpm hd 9-cell lithium ion battery (~2 hours high performance, ~3 power saver) 4.1 sound instant overclock button 2mp webcam 7lb laptop...not too heavy for this much power. you cannot get alienware/dell with the same specs at $1,600.
Intel T9600 @ 2.8ghz...overclockable to 4ghz, and most important...ATI 4870 X2....yes, finally comes in a laptop. 6gb of DDR2 ram, 320gb 7200rpm HD. 18.4in 1080p screen. All for $2200 from newegg. This to me is the ultimate laptop for really good price.
I thought it did have blu-ray. And who cares when the performance is the highest you can get and you could buy two of them for the price Alienware and Gateway charge.
no I am not american, and this "shit" is worth $3000+ and is one of the fastest and most featured laptops in the market today. My previous laptop was DELL and I used it extensively for 3+ years and it never failed me.
i would love to have this laptop.. i have the dell xps m1530, but it does the job for gaming.. but i really wanted the m1730.. it looks so cool

To get this colorful light effect you can use QuickSet, a program that can be downloaded from DELL website.

tyvm it works
coolkid0310 2 years ago
@coolkid0310 Go to Dell Quickset, then to "Gaming".
All can be found, atleast for me, right beside the time where your wireless status is. =)

your laptop doesn't have a blu-ray drive or a raid-0 disk array. I won't call that an ultimate laptop.
