OK; I know there may be a few, but I thought I’d get round to reviewing my Dell XPS M1710.
Right the Basics:
2.16GHz-1GB RAM-100GB Hard Drive-512mb Graphics card-DVD-RW
Right now I can tell you about it lol
Right got it after 2 days of ordering it, so First Class so far!
Excellent packaging, and I got my XPS bag to!
REVIEW
OK so this is mainly a gaming laptop, but I was stunned to find that it is actually surprisingly portable… I carry it round my house with no worries, though I’m getting a 13” Macbook for college lol. The Graphics are simply stunning, scoring a whopping 18023 on Future Mark 3D Benchmark, though I am told that if I turn certain things and switch stuff up it can gain points but I don’t really care lol. But the game quality!! OMG!!! As you may see from one of my pics, I enjoy the odd recreational game of Halo… lol yes that’s right I use an Xbox controller, I never got over the Xbox really lol.
The Speakers are amazing for a Laptop, though as you may see from my pics, I have the laptop hooked up to me DIY surround Sound.
I use Photoshop a lot for image editing (duhh!!!) and though I find it fast; I may need more RAM, so a 2GB upgrade may be in order. The Lights are awesome! And it’s amazing how you can change the colour and turn some of them off.
I had low expectations for the battery, though I found it surprisingly good! 2:30 Hours, Nice, more than you need for sitting around the house.
I try to keep as much care of my laptop as much as possible. So I run SpyBot Search and Destroy often, and use MacAfee A.V… That’s about all I can think of… not much else to say, an all round good laptop, the 17inch display is awesome! Great for watching films! And really bright!
OHH one thing I really love about it is the 2 USB 2.0 ports on the left hand side, unbelievably useful for life on a desk lol.
A BAD point- OK I tried to keep these to proper bad points and not petty little things…
The card slot is apparently one of those new ones, so all the PCMCIA cards I have, the CF card reader, Vodafone card, and network card don’t fit… though the built in wireless is just as powerful.
The 5-1 card reader is quite good, though I don’t really use it so…
All in all, an excellent laptop, and well worth it, IF you play games, and want a laptop.
Need portability and convenience, and battery life… get a Macbook! lol
