    I'll be purchasing an xps 1730 today, and i'm curious.

    Xp will provide better performance but doesn't support Dx10.

    I wouldn't go with the XPS M1730, and I do not know where you can find the 1 month return policy.

    I agree, I was going to buy one too, but my buddy convinced me otherwise.

    Price to hardware ratio, the Clevo d901c has much more bang in it, for around the same price.


    Don't get me wrong, I'm not telling you what to buy, just providing an alternative.

    i would get a sager, but their not readily avaliable where i live. Its not jsut that. if i get a sager, i'll have to ship it overseas if it has any problems. That would be too troublesome
