Over some debate recently, I think a single thread would be a good idea for news and information of the m1730 in order to eliminate multiple threads. By utilizing this single thread, individuals can find a single source for updated information on this system...


O ya, I dont think anyone knows exactly when the 1730 will be released! lol

Prog

I totally agree.

Duud, I orderd minez throo mi copany w33ks ago!!!!1!!!!one!

LoLZ!!!

No really though, i am looking forward to the release, only cuz i know everyone is going to be selling their 1710's for cheap

Not Me, lol. I still love mine, and therefore I am keeping it.

Doubtful. The performance just isn't on par & the XPS series seem to hold their value pretty well. (my old XPS 2 still sells for around $1,000.00).

In addition, most of the ppl that are interested in this new product seem to be ones that don't already own a 1710. As a 1710 owner myself the release of this machine with 2 8700 series cards doesn't interest me since it offers very little in the most important area...Performance increase...

show me the game benches where it wipes the floor with the 7900/7950GTX cards & I might be interested..Of course I know that isn't happening...

I totally agree with SolApathy<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> vbmenu_register("postmenu_2735338", true); </SCRIPT>

I've had my M1710 for about a year and 7 months, It's played every game i've thrown at it with excellent results. For me it wouldnt be worth getting a dual 8700 machine when the 7950gtx runs perfectly fine. Not to mention the fact that the M1710 wil be a decent laptop for years to come.
And if I for some reason get the DX10 itch, I'll just upgrade my desktop to a DX10 card and keep my M1710 just the way it is.

Also still true for the i9300 with the 7800GTX :-) Well, for the most part. There's some games that won't play full settings. But definitely high quality settings at decent frame rates.

Please god, everybody only post here, no where else about the M1730.

LOL

I think maybe a sticky or somthing... ha That way there arent like 5000 posts rolling around about the 1730... I am anxious to hear news about it, but its hard to find out whats going with all the threads.

Prog

where's the news?

This thread seems worthy of a temporary sticky until the 1730 is released.

Do you plan to update the first post, or will we have to dig through pages of discussion? (in the second case, I think it's easier to create new threads)

I am sure the 1st page will be updated with any relevant news regarding the release of the machine.

It would be easier I think to have all the info on one thread. I say this, because even if the topic thread just talks about the release date, usually other information such as specs and info is thrown in the bunch. Atleast now we can focus on one area to find all information.

Prog

it would be good is there was any news, the 1730 seems to have melted into the ground, that laptop was so ugly its probably ganna take another year to redo the design.
