Its a heavy beast. and expensive too but if you are looking for a sample for a media laptop that can blast movies play games and slow them off on a great screen the new XPS 15 could be just what you are lokking for But donot feel like you have to spring for all the upgrades: the base model should be more than enough for most-unless you are looking for blu-ray and afull 1080p display.
Thats not the one we reviewed thought.Unlike last time, Dells web site: a quad-core 2GHz core i7- 2630 QM CPU, 8GB of RAM a 750 GB 7, 200rpm hard drive. Nvidia GeForce GT 540M graphics a blu-ray drive, and a 1.920x1080 pixel resolution screen along with a chunky but longer- life nine-cell battery.
The base model of the new XPS 15 is actually even cheaper than last years at$799.It comes with a 2.3 GHz Core i5-2410M CPU, an Nvidia GeForce GT525 GPU, 4GB of RAM and a 500 GB, 7200rpm hard disk.
