Dell M1730 gets confirmed specs and release date

We've just gotten our mitts on some specs for the forthcoming Dell XPS M1730; a nasty looking, gamer-targeted laptop that's due out soon -- and we'd thought we'd share. The new 17-inch, 10.6 pound entry will rock the much-loved Intel PM965 Santa Rosa chipset, a Core 2 Duo T7300, T7500, T7700, or X7800 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce Go 8700M GT, up to 4GB of RAM, an optional Blu-ray drive, 802.11 (in varying configurations), plus an ExpressCard 54 slot, Bluetooth 2.0, and a slew of ins and outs (USB, DVI, Firewire, S-Video, etc. Additionally, Dell is going to a lot of trouble to "trick out" the laptop, offering customizable external LED lighting, adjustable keyboard lighting, and "flashy industrial design with color customization options." The laptop also curiously features a small "gaming LCD" display above the keyboard, for providing "additional information about the system or applications." Also of note is the fact that an Ageia PhysX Controller will be available as an add-on, as well as 2-megapixel, built-in webcam, and a variety of SATA hard drive options. The system will be available on August 27th worldwide, so stay tuned.

.... If I weren't so damned ugly

 

i dont think it would be to bad if they got rid of the white or silver keyboard for a black one..

 

top view

 

ewwwwww ouch.. nevermind.. i take that back.. maybe if they offered different colors for those side pieces or went all black then it would look fine imo

 

i really hope for dell's sake that they have other casings or they are really just messing with us

 

I don't think it will look that bad in person. From my own experience, Dell's always look worse in pics than they do in reality.

 

My God, they have created a beast!!!!

That is one ugly machine.

 

I had hoped that those pictures were fake. That is even uglier than MY notebook!

 

Sorry bout your luck

 

It is real. I saw a real picture of one somewhere. I think it was on direct2dell or something. It was just a alpha build of one, but I assure you, it was ugly.

 

lmao. On Engadget they say it will have the option of having 8700m's SLI'ed which sounds sweet.

 

This looks like a photoshopped pic of an inspiron 1720.

 

^^Its dose. What stands out to me is the gloss *?* effect and the red on the top.

 

old news!!

 

Did Hasbro design that all by themselves or did Micheal Bay help?

 

word has it, gonna be out by last week of sept.
why is the chassis like that? is that carbon fiber?

 

its supposed to carbon fiber

 

You said it would be released on the 27th August, its not the 29th and its not been released

This cant be good news

 

Now some guy has said Sept 15th which is a Saturday that can't be right.

 

looks like a brick...
