Dell Unleashed a Gaming PC and Notebook

Dell unleashed the XPS M1730 — the beast, notebook for gamers.

The company claims that the notebook is the world's first notebook to incorporate AGEIA PhysX Mobile Technology and Logitech's GamePanel LCD. Its PhysX processor helps deliver realistic movement and environmental interaction at incredible speeds without affecting the overall performance.

The GamePanel LCD allows gamers to view game stats, create new macros and track important system information without leaving the game. The high-octane notebook supports overclocking  of Intel Core 2 Extreme processor X9000 to Bin +2 (up to 3.2GHz). It features Nvidia SLI technology with support for DirectX 10 graphics. It is the only notebook to feature the AGEIA PhysX 100M processor. 

The notebook offers personalized choices in three colors: Crimson Red, Sapphire Blue, and Smoke Grey. 

Its chassis is engineered to handle the thermal and power requirements of the most powerful next-generation graphics technology.

Other features include a backlit keyboard with separate 10-key number pad, a high-definition display with a lightning fast response time of 7 milliseconds  and support for Dell's LightFX application, allowing users and developers to manipulate the system's multi-colored perimeter lighting LEDs.

It features Wi-Fi technology choices topped out by optional Wireless-N. Systems also include a built-in Web camera and digital array microphone for gamers to clearly see.
