Well folks before I introduce this modern mobile giant, I'd like to se the mood here so maybe.... just maybe you can get as excited as I am. I'm a college student and recently on my way home from an exam my car was hit and essentially crushed, along with my car being crushed my laptop and basically everything I did went with it. I don't know about everyone else but I'm basically dependant on my computer, so I've been a bit of a lost soul as of late until I recently talked my brother into lending me his macbook, not really my cup of tea but it's getting the job done. Needless to say I'm on the market again for a new laptop. Now I'm a gamer through and through so I'm not looking to pinch pennies, I'm looking for the meanest machine I can find out there and when I browsed over to Dell's page today i found EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Dell's M1730 is the succcessor to their popular XPS gaming laptops released in recent years, while these 17" marvels were great, the M1730 is taking it way beyond what the predessors could do. The M1730 is the first to feature the Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme Edition X7900 which starts you of with 2 dual processors running at 2.8Mgz each, well if that's not enough, this baby is ready to be overclocked to 3.4 WITHOUT voiding your warrenty! How great is that! Not only that but this laptop features choices such as performance raid setup for 400Gb of storage at 7200 and also the option to upgrade the ram to 4Gb. One wonderful thing also given as a choice is whether you would like Vista or XP preloaded which I think is wonderful as Vista still isn't too keen on managing resources properly. Of course as a gamer the next concern of mine was graphics and this is where the M1730 brings it home with NVIDIA® SLI® Technology
Ageia PhysX processing unit running 2 256Mb for amazing graphics on the go. While weighing in at about 10-12lbs this thing is just begging me to take it home, and believe me I will. I'm going with grey for sure.
