Portability isn’t its strong suit but, if you want to play cutting-edge games on a 4kg slab of notebook heaven, Dell’s XPS is the obvious choice.
A bleeding-edge 256MB nVidia Geforce Go 6800 Ultra shifts polygons at breakneck pace – sample Test Drive Unlimited on the XPS and you’ll see what we mean.
There’s just the one bad point: its sheer size. The 17-inch screen is pin-sharp perfection but it adds such bulk to the XPS, along with its hefty, powerful innards, that you’ll be lucky to find a decent case in which to carry it around.
Don’t go too far, either, or you’ll be risking a regular visit to the chiropractor.

I'm a gamer and it ran fast with full graphics on team fortress and call of duty 4. I had to send it back as the graphics card died. R.I.P little guy, so im going for a new model as this error is one that is common on this model even though dell refuse to acknowledge it. Beautiful screen, fast, media buttons are not compatible with most applications and dont work when it is closed, and yes it weighs a tonne.
