I've been very happy with it's quality and performance.
I might consider a new XPS system, but i have 2 questions:
- Are there any new laptop mobile graphic cards coming out soon that I should wait for (I can wait for another 6 months)
- What is the fastest system available now?
the list:
1_What is your budget?
let's say 2500 euro, which is
2_What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
Doesn't matter
3_What screen resolution do you want?
The best and highest, preferably FULL HD
4_Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Would like it to be portable, however I won't be walking around with it much, only when i travel like 3-4 times a year.
The 4,7 kilograms of the M1710 bothered me sometimes, but i'm not willing to compromise for performance on the weight if you know what I mean. I want the best performance.
5_How much battery life do you need?
Will most likely be plugged into power outlet so it doesn't matter
6_Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
Would like to play on high of course. That mirror's edge game doesn't seem to want to install on my XPS, and even if it did, i doubt the gaming results would be sufficient. I'm currently waiting for Mafia 2.
7_What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo / Video editing, surfing the web, playing music, watching movies, Etc.)
Office apps, foto editing, websurfing a lot, multitasking, playing music, watching movies, mail checking, website creation,...
8_How much storage (H.D.D Capacity) do you need?
i think nowadays over 300 GB would be good.
9_If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post the links to them.
Alienware, Dell, Rockdirect. Doesn't really matter which, i'm open to suggestions !
10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
Untill it's too slow
11_If you would like to mention some other things about purchasing your ideal laptop, post them.
The power adaptor for my XPS is huge, i read the adapter of the new XPS is still as big. This is a problem when taking with me while travelling abroad. Even if it is only 4 times a year i do that, it is still very annoying.
Furthermore: I definately want a good webcam built in, a bluetooth is a plus, mic built in also is plus. I want to watch high quality movies on it, so blue ray disc is also a must, as is the quality of the screen: high !
12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
Not sure about brands, I'd like some recommendations.
13_What country do you live in?
Belgium, Europe (small country north of France and south of The Netherlands)
