Say what you will about market leader Dell (and many have), but with its top-shelf XPS line, the company has consistently put out distinctive laptops that feature the most advanced components on the market.Despite its recent acquisition of niche player Alienware, Dell sticks to the script with the newest iteration of its flagship gaming laptop. With the XPS M1710, the company adds just a few aesthetic curlicues to the same basic form factor found on Dell’s other 17-inch wide-screen models, upgrades to Intel’s Core Duo platform, and drops in Nvidia’s new top-shelf GeForce Go 7900 GTX GPU.
The unsurprising result: an extremely pricey system that extends the company’s dominance of our gaming benchmark tests and solidifies Dell’s reputation as the vendor to beat in the gaming laptop market. If you’re a hard-core gamer who’s looking to play the newest games (Oblivion, F.E.A.R.) at the highest settings, this is the best system that (a lot of) money can buy.
