Super powerful system - Dell sells these anywhere from $1500-$2000 so you can get a pretty good deal at Amazon. Bought mine from a third party seller and couldn't be more satisfied. This thing screams and the benchmarks are ever better than my desktop ...
This seems to be a super performer. It seems very well made, although you can find others with more solid materials(without the same performance)

Delivery was fast, out of the box this laptop looked off the shelf new and performed the same. The 9 cell battery seems to last and live up to it's potential. Display is incredible, crystal clear on the 17.3 inch screen.You will have to visit the manufactures ...
" I was hesitant when I purchased this as a TSV after Thanksgiving but I'm glad I did it. It was a cinch to set up. My ClickFree made moving files from my old PC a breeze. The larger screen is terrific, especially when running 2 apps at once and using ...
I researched consumer reports online website and this particular computer Inspiron 17R i17R-6457DBK 17.3" Notebook had an avg rating of 71, which is a very good rating. It is a high enough rating that I went and purchased this laptop. I have had it only ...

I am giving a score of 1 and a do not buy not because of the computer but because of Dell themselves. They are almost impossible to make complaints too, I understand that electronic devices can have issues and mine had heaps, but it is how a company deals ...

Good news:, the laptop SEEMS to work fine.
BAD NEWS:Day 2 of using the unit, the AC power adapter was a making a 'sizzling' sound and was HOT to the touch.

Seemed to be a good computer but the lack of wireless hookup caused me to return it...I would most definetly recommend this product...The only bad points are that not all software has caught up to Windows 7 which is pre-installed on this computer, and you'll probably need a USB expansion hub once you plug all the hardware in, but those really aren't things to complain about...

Yes, you are not getting the top of the line GeForce, but the GTX555M should be good enough for most gaming needs I would think! If you get the built-in TV tuner (which this pre-built model does not offer) it is a "AverMedia H339 Hybrid 339 Analog/ATSC/QAM" model...The specs in the machine are really good...Do not let this be a show-stopper, it's really not that bad...

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 obviously, such is the trade-off when it comes to more powerful notebooks......

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 angles are so wide that we didn't notice any darkness in...

Dell XPS 17 3D Laptop Computer Review | PCWorld
Stereoscopic 3D capability works well
Audio quality is transparent and pleasing...GPU a little limited for stereoscopic 3D gaming
Bulky and heavy...Dell updates the XPS 17 with Intel's spiffy new Sandy Bridge CPU and stereoscopic 3D capability, but the latter is better for 3D Blu-ray than for gaming...The XPS 17 3D reviewed here ships with an Intel Core i7 2820QM clocking in at 2.30GHz but capable of pushing to a full 3.4GHz in Turbo Boost...

Excellent performance
Variety of ports (USB 3.0 & eSATA)
Meaty system specs
Good battery life...No 1080p display
Poor display viewing angles
Loud & hot...The keyboard is very good and the keys offer some nice tactile feedback with each press and the mouse trackpad is a good, large size too...The Canon Pixma MG3120 is an all-in-one inkjet printer that gives you overall good copy and scan quality...Another gripe about the screen is poor viewing...

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 giving up a quad-core processor (Dell, for reasons I can't explain,...
