This laptop is the sh-t!!!!!!!, September 12, 2009
you won't be disappointed by this computer, it will do everything you ask of it and more......the down side of it is it's size and weight, but really doesn't bother me at all. the power supply is as big as a brick(my only gripe with it).....already had 18 compliments in 2 weeks with this machine.....

Our Sources

1. Notebook Review.com

NotebookReview.com's reviews are among the best on the Internet. Discussion is detailed and testing is comparative. The only shortfall is that laptops like the Dell XPS M1730 aren't rated, but conclusions about pluses and minuses are made crystal clear.

Review: Dell XPS M1730 Review, Charles P. Jefferies, Nov. 12, 2007

2. Notebook Check.net

Because it is translated from the author's native German, this report on the Dell XPS M17230 is a tough read, but it's worth getting through it. Testing is the most comprehensive to be found anywhere, and this is one of the few reviews to report on performance with Dell's latest dual-video-card option.

3. PCMag.com

PCMag.com's reporting isn't as detailed as those above, but covers important considerations and includes the results of benchmark testing. The magazine honors the Dell XPS M1730 with an Editors' Choice award.

4. CNET

Though CNET says some laptops with similar configurations are faster in some tests, the Dell XPS M1730 is called one of the best gaming laptops on the market and named an Editors' Choice. While test results are included, the discussion is on the short side.

5. Laptop Magazine

Laptop Magazine also names the Dell XPS M1730 an Editors' Choice winner, but its review falls short of the others listed above. Though performance is briefly addressed, most of the review centers on features and appearance.
