    just got one of these babys, what a laptop! build quality like a tank, its abit cumbersome, but who cares. anyone else got one of these,? i got the 7900gs card, not the gtx, way too expensive. but still adequate for most games. colin mcrae is a joy to behold.... cant wait to hook it up to the 32" hi-def!

    Adequate for most? You mean every game released to date more like. ;)

    Nice setup.

    whoo, that must have cost you an arm and a leg ;)

    The GTX would probably be going overboard alright, 250 quid extra? Mebollix.

    Especially since the gs version will still run everything great and dx10 hardware is so close....would love to have that sort of money to spend on a laptop. My Geforce go 6400 will just have to do for the next few years...

    i managed to haggle the price to 1,500 in the outlet, happy out. they are way too expensive new, mine is meant to be a refurb, but it looks new to me, all wrap and books, manuals, cd wallet etc. hitman 3,pro evo 5, and colin mcrae 05 is all i put on so far, all run like a dream.:D

    this supports 4gig of ram, which is abit extreme, but should keep me going for abit at least.

    If its anything like the M170 I own..enjoy it while it still works properly..3 motherboard replacements + the original,graphics card replacement,bluetooth replaced twice...just over 6 months old....so be very very very careful with it,cos dell dont give a **** if its a €500 inspion 1300 piece o **** or a 2500+ €'s laptop they still treat you like crap,as for special XPS technical support,dont get me started......

    Yeah the outlet is something that Ive been looking at for the last week. I want
    to get a laptop towards the end of the summer but if a nice one pops up, I might
    just have to grab it.

    Cult have you got one yet or are you still looking?
