Dell XPS 17 L702X review | ITReviews
Clear and bright display; great sound for a laptop....Small hard disk; some design oddities....Dell's XPS 17 is slick in the build quality stakes, a fact that becomes clear from the very first click in Windows...There's also a good array of ports included, with one USB port, twin USB 3.0 connectors and an HDMI port...So it's perhaps closer to 'luggable' than portable - but...

Dell XPS 17 review | from TechRadar's expert reviews of Laptops and netbooks
Good performance > Features > Decent screen > Good audio > Battery life...Some flex in keyboard > Small HDD...Great performance and usability are joined by a highly impressive features list to make this a competitive package...It's bright enough for indoor use and, while not extremely vibrant, colour reproduction is good enough to make the best of your photos and movies...The metallic...

Dell XPS 17 3D
Fast overall performance; 1080p display offers wide viewing angles; Great JBL speakers and sub-woofer; Two USB 3.0 ports; Capable 2-MP webcam...Gaming frame rates drop with 3D activated; Below-average Wi-Fi throughput; 3D glasses sold separately;...Though the 3D was not as immersive as the Blu-ray movie, it was fun to duck and hand in tall jungle grass, and watch bad guys run headlong at us...Viewing...

Dell XPS 17 Laptop Computer Review | PCWorld
Superb keyboard offers excellent typing experience Even high-end games are playable...Fan noise gets noticeably loud on occasion Should have a 1080p display...Speaking of price, our unit costs $1579 as configured--not too bad for a premium unit equipped with goodies like discrete graphics and two 500GB hard drives...Overall, the Dell XPS 17's newest progeny is a chip...

Dell XPS 17 Review & Rating | PCMag.com
One of the fastest laptops available...Obscene graphics power...First HD webcam on a laptop...Excellent keyboard...Backlit option...Soft mouse buttons...HDMI...Heat is an unfortunate side effect of the graphics chip...No 1080p resolution....There is a 6-cell battery available, for weight savings, but I wouldn't recommend it...I would recommend downgrading to a GeForce GT 435M, but that would mean...

Dell 2001FP : LCD's 17" and Larger Reviewed
Dell may not be a major LCD manufacturer but its 2001FP has made quite a name for itself since it came out a few months ago...The 2001FP is expensive but it's well worth it...The picture is so beautiful that it makes up for the bad response time during fast action scenes...

Good value for money Good audio Great 2D performance Battery life Stunning 3D HD display...Bit plain to look at Keyboard use is like ice skating 3D doesn't perform as well as it should Needs more...Dell's topline XPS laptops are never going to have the same kudos impact as it's dedicated gaming laptops from Alienware, such as the Alienware M17x (read our review here) - even though...
