Dell Release New XPS M1730 Laptop - I dub “The Ugly Brute”
Wow, so this is what the Alienware team have been up to lately? This new Laptop from Dell is and I quote “Head Turning”, most likely due to sheer shock to see such a huge and powerful computer dressed up in “mobile” shoes, that manages to mimic a granite slab with trim and flares. Not to mention the arrays of blinky LEDs that will do wonders for it’s battery life.
This “Brute” of a Laptop (squashed legs, yes) actually has a full size keyboard, so far as to include a 10 key numberpad on the side naturally as the target market (gamers with infinitely deep pockets) are always running out of keys to bind short cuts too for that taunt or auto-grenade-spam script.
OK, perhaps I am being a touch too critical here, there are of course plenty of merits here, I mean, a world-first for the mobile generation - PPU (Physics Processing Unit), which does the same role as your graphics card does except for number-crunching anything related to computing physics. Heck I’m not ready to put one of those in a desktop machine yet! That said, anything the relieves the load of sorely stressed out CPUs is going to be a welcome addition and now that the hardware is trickling through to the consumer, game and application developers will follow suite in adopting and supporting this feature.
Rock on.
Of course, no stone is left unturned and the very latest of everything is included from Blue-ray drive, 4GB RAM memory options and dual SLI-based Geforce graphics card to even 5.1 channel surround sound! I suppose our rich gamer is going to have no trouble with their personal chauffeur/assistant lugging around a deluxe multi-channel speaker rig and setting it up for them where-ever they go.
Ah, all in the name of fun and entertainment.
Well, if you happen to have some extra cash stashed in your back-pocket “for emergencies” then you may be eligible to place an order for that premium model - A cool $4,486, minus tax. Enjoy.
