Dell XPS (N00X7M05)

For the price it is a nice laptop. Everything has it's class, eg 7200 rpm hard drive and works well. Touchpad is nice and large and supports multi-touch. I was looking for a quad core laptop, and I was actually considering buying a 740QM but the price difference with a 17-inch laptop with 740QM processor is so small that I prefer a laptop with i7 2630qm processor owns. Being fed up with intel sandy bridge problem I had to wait a long time for the 2630qm laptops were available again. Eventually I got the cheapest variant (N00X7M05) with I7 2630qm ordered on 19 March. So the review applies to this model (eg monitor and DDR slots is model dependent). , the dell XPS 17 is a nice fast laptop that you can even customize to your own needs, I have to put. into a 5GHz wifi Eventually I paid € 887.80 and was delivered to the door. If you search you may find a coupon that gives you 5% or 10% discount. Relieves the pain of delivery € 29, - completely. The laptop had a longer delivery time of a month, but fortunately he was almost three weeks earlier done. After almost a week in possession still very happy with the laptop. Startup is very slow after I installed. Kinds of updates from dell Also, Windows 7 SP1, you must install in addition. I use the laptop instead of a desktop. It's nice that all the connections back to the side or behind the laptop sitting. There is then nothing in the way of the mouse. Compared with Acer Aspire with Q9000 processor (price last year was € 800, -) he is noticeably faster, although Acer is more luxurious features (finger scanner, 1080P screen, backlit keyboard standard with 5GHz wifi etc). On battery life of the Dell wins with ease when you perform light tasks. The sound that comes from Dell is impressive and definitely a plus for this laptop. The i7 2630qm combined with the nvidia optimus technology allows two uses possible. Both performance much more fan noise and a good gaming computer. In addition, as a relatively quiet and efficient computer that can also without power long. Summary specifications.
