Dell XPS M1730 Reviews
The XPS M1730 is Dell’s new 17-inch high-performance gaming notebook, the replacement for the aging M1710. It is based on the latest Intel Santa Rosa platform and features cutting-edge Nvidia GeForce SLI graphics.
Before I start this review I would like to thank Dell for sending us a test unit.
Dell has respawned its flagship XPS gaming notebook into an even bigger and more powerful beast. The M1730 is one of the fastest gaming notebooks on the market and is certainly the flashiest. The M1730 is the most attention-grabbing notebook I have seen to date; its exterior appearance is sleek and intimidating. Taking the M1730 to a LAN party is sure to get one recognized. Dell has done a wonderful job with the M1730 inside and out; the software support may not be perfect at the moment but the hardware is all there, which is what counts.

The good:
Dual SLI graphics; strong mobile gaming scores; 10-key number pad; integrated Logitech GamePanel LCD; multicolored, built-in LED lights play along with music and games; backlit keyboard; can play media files without booting up.
The bad:
Similarly configured laptops are faster on some tests; plastic lid and creaky hinges don’t scream (or sound like) luxury; the albatross that is the massive power brick.
The bottom line:
With a redesigned case that’s chock-full of cutting-edge technologies, the Dell XPS M1730 tops our list of our favorite gaming laptops.
