My XPS Gen 2 review.

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
First off, this isnt going to be the best review ever, just a small ranting about a XPS Gen 2. I got the notebook three days ago, and I can not put it down! This thing is a beast, pulling 5076 in 3D Mark 2005, and 48FPS with everything maxed out in Counter Strike Source. I guess I should give you my stats though, shouldn't I?

XPS Gen 2
2.0Ghz Centrino Processor
512MB RAM
CD-RW/DVD-ROM
An internal wireless card, forget which..

I really like it. It is a decent size, not too big at all, you can definatly carry it around the house and where ever else you go. It dosent weigh much at all, very portable. If you do bring it to a Starbucks however, expect to be shunned upon, expecially if you have your bright neon lights glowing . It can rip a CD in 5 minutes, plays CD and DVD's perfect, and does about whatever else you want it to. All I can say is, buy this machine, you won't reget it!

Nice pics man!!!! I'm shocked at the amount of icons you have on your desktop. Seems overwhelming as I have 4 icons on my D8300 and 600m. I can't stand icons personally. In any event, you system looks sweet!!! Glad you're enjoying it!!

Nice review! Concise, but with interesting and original info and perspective.

About the pictures, maybe if you boost the ambient lighting or use a fixed surface to take the picture from (perhaps put it on something and set the 2 or 10 second timer), you can get crystal clear pics? (4 weeks of intense camera research/shopping had left me evaluating everything I saw on screen or in real life in terms of lighting levels and image quality for awhile, lol)

Makes me even more anxious to get mine, according to the order status it is should be delivered next Friday (geesh, 1 whole week! How am I going to survive that?)

Edited to add: I just got home from work and much to my surprise I got an email from Dell saying that my IXPS g2 shipped yesterday (Friday) and as they upgraded me to next day shipping it should be here Monday!

I had originally ordered mine on July 26th, and had a ship date of Aug 8th, but then on Friday July 29th customer care screwed up and mistakenly canceled my order and it wasn't re-entered until the night of Monday, August 1st and had a ship date of Friday August 11th with delivery on the 12th.

I ordered mine July 24th, recieved August 1st, and haven't let it out of my sights since then. I'll try to upload some more pics, my camera's just a little fuzzy.
