plus and minus

When it's working it's a dream. The problem with this laptop (besides the exorbitant price) is that it will break on you. Under warranty the keyboard broke. Out of warranty the video card broke. To replace the video card when out of warranty, you had to get the lower memory video card. They would NOT sell me the original. The good news is that it can be fixed at home with little mechanical skill. Make sure you get the longest extended warranty you can. On this machine it will pay for itself. Tho only other minus is that even though it has a very large screen, the keyboard has no number pad. I missed this after using the machine. The machine when running was great. I was able to play games, load Linux, run whatever I wanted. The leds are fine but are only useful for bling, nothing practical. I ended up turning mine down and ignoring them.
Great gaming notebook!

he M1710 has a 17" widescreen and comes in a choice of two colors, "formula red" or "metallic black". The Dell XPS M1710 is the gaming notebook from Dell. The Dell XPS M1710 design is, in a word, brazen. In daylight the striking red or metallic black lid will catch the eyes of just about anyone nearby. In the dark, if you stand far enough away this thing looks more like a UFO as the lights glow in a somewhat eery yet cool manner. The XPS M1710 has a 17" widescreen WUXGA (1920 x 1200 resolution) LCD with the Dell TrueLife (glossy screen) treatment. The Dell XPS M1710 has a very efficient and quiet cooling system. Not only is it quiet, but it also is has a very smart design. The keyboard on the XPS M1710 actually looks and feels quite a bit different to all other Dell notebooks. The keyboard keys are not black, as they so typically are, but rather a silver color that blends with the rest of the case color. The touchpad is very cool with the XPS lighting, but more importantly it's actually a decent size and works well with scroll zones on the right side for vertical scroll and on the bottom for horizontal scroll. If this were the state fair and the contest were for best performance notebook, then the blue ribbon would go to the XPS M1710. The coolest thing being, you could even adjust the lights on the M1710 to blue to match that ribbon!
