Dell XPS M1730

[damienp1988]

i had one of these and i had nothing but problems with it especially with the 8800 gpu it burnt out then the motherboard went but still it was a good laptop when it worked

[gothen1234]

wow, 3 years later... i was gonna get myself one of these for £800 (cause its cheaper now) with dual 8800m gtx's but i payed £200 more and got an MSI GX740 because of the lower NM CPU, size, brand and 5870M so basically a desktop 5770, epic!!

[Xenios123]

Go for Alienware M17 if you want a gaming Laptop. Also Dell XPS M1730 is good but Alienware is better

[Sampenny123]

Lol i jsut got one

[Tarnjit69]

thats my dream laptop!

[s7t7u7a7r7t7]

hey dude hows it going nice vid and excellent laptop

i was wondering what is worth getting the alienware or the one u got ????

reply

[Wookie1234567]

Alienware ARE Dell. Dell bought them out a while back. Alienware are over priced any way, M1730 is better value for money and instead of getting something on the alienware laptop you could get Dual 9800GTX's if im not mistaken in the M1730 now. DELL = WIN

[AyceSobek]

@Wookie1234567 yeah I upgraded mine to dual 9800GTX's

[linktriforce007]

what game is that ? PM me with an answer

[deviousconkerer]

Looks like Unreal Tournament 3

[zandman96]

i have it how does it change colour and it is the best at market rigth now so fuck off haters u are just jellus

[Iminurcomputorz]

This laptop, fucking, suck!

I've had nothing but trouble, games freeze occassionally all the fucking time, yes, I have updated my drivers.

Avoid this expensive shit, like the fucking plague, invest in something better, like a desktop.

And no, I don't have any malware on my machine, I have not installed anything dubious on it, it just plain suck.

[qn5r]

Lol. I have one and i've yet to find a game that I can't run full spec. Without any problems!

[Iminurcomputorz]

What kind of games? What graphic cards do you have in it? I have the sucky 8700M GTs. They are horrible.

[qn5r]

8700M GT, I can run bioshock, all total war games, spore on high, and crysis demo on mid-high easily. I do agree that a desktop would be better value for money. But I just like XPS laptops! You could check your direct x, as mine out of the box couldn't run anything without a direct x upgrade!!

[Iminurcomputorz]

Crysis? Mid-high? Either I've got one wrong DX, or something is seriously borked. I can't get more than max 40fps on crysis on medium, and 1024x768 resolution.

What processor you have? I got the 2.2Ghz one, but it shouldn't matter that much.

[qn5r]

2.4Ghz, 4GB RAM, 8700m GT, 1920x1200 screen. That is my spec, not even sli. I heard bad things about sli'ing so avoided it. Check out the web for others there are loads of articles out there.

[Iminurcomputorz]

When I disabled the SLI, I got lower frames than with. Come to think of it, it might be the horrible, useless piece of no-good shit called Ageia PhysX card it got in it. That thing add more pixel's in smoke, explosions and in general.

If it's the culprit and disabling it might improve my frames, I'm going to be quite happy ;)

[CertifiedTim]

good sound

[caboos09]

that's UT3 not UT2004

[girlsdrinkfeck]

right , and you think people have access to laptop chassis ? powersupplys , and goforce etc etc ?

[WiiMan1012]

yes.

[girlsdrinkfeck]

well my brother can , as he refurbishes computers , but the average amature PC builder does not :)

[NorWay707]

what a idiot u are hevnervals.

if u can build a laptop pc with that case and all those special parts to make a laptop working.

i suggest u try as u say u are going to.

"build your own PCs!"

ok go and try then!

it will be great to watch you.

instead the price looks expensive, but its actually worth it if u think again.

moron...

[WiiMan1012]

i do

[NorWay707]

ok :)

make a video and show us.

[WiiMan1012]

um just Google newegg and find a bare bone pc's buddy. have fun :)

[monoxido3]

man thats a really jealous comment, i mean if the guy wants to buy a laptop and can buy it i guess he has his reasons, like everyone

[jaketerminate]

UT2004, good times...

[yajazn]

it's nVidia 8700M is SLI capable at 512MB of video ram. most of m1730s now are at 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme and with a standard battery of 9 cells! crazy. bet u could get at least 5 hours out of this machine portably.

[monoxido3]

well, i wouldnt even say one hour, it actually gets 40 mins of battery playing and with half brightness XD

[PXSubscriber]

Just set your game quality to the lowest.

XPS is born for gaming not born for battery power

[urdufoo]

Does this runs sli or is it one vid card?

[firerel]

nice looking laptop but i have to say the Alienware area 51 m9750 just looks amazing

[HarryEtTubMan]

these both are obviously the best laptops lol

[lilenday]

LOL X1800 ATI , 2.2 T7400 I got 11.030

[arnoldgd84]

Can this lap top handle games like Crysis?

[aussieVera]

yes yes yes, but not on max

[getoffmyfrigginlawn]

hardly anything can handle crysis on max unless your computers from the future

[aussieVera]

much better with the intel extreme which i got mine with its 2.8ghz and can be overclocked to 3.2!!!

[dna1987]

Dude, how much did that cost you? I got the $3600 configuration (AU Dollars).
