Dell XPS Gen 2

Excellent game performance; top-shelf processor and graphics engine; illuminated case; lightweight for a gaming machine; good multimedia features; full assortment of ports and connections.

It's not cheap.

Powered by a top-shelf processor and graphics engine, the Dell XPS Gen 2 is one of the fastest and slimmest gaming machines we've ever seen.

Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2

You can practically see your reflection in the new armor aluminum cover of the 8.5-pound unit (which is fairly svelte for a desktop replacement model). The base is dressed in black to showcase the lighting effects from the front cover, sides, and...

Top-of-the-line graphics. Programmable lights

Pointing stick is gone. Mouse buttons are a bit loud

Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 - Multimedia Performance Profile

Our previous coverage of the Inspiron XPS Gen 2 was mainly intended for prospective gaming and performance sensitive buyers. However, this perspective doesn't completely explore the multimedia possibilities of the XPS Gen 2, which can be configured...

The addition of Windows XP MCE OS, a TV Tuner, and Remote adds a total of $199 to the base price tag of the Dell XPS Gen2 (MCE alone only adds $39). In the multimedia arena, the MCE OS is a good match for the XPS Gen2. It has one of the brightest...

Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 Notebook - Gaming and Performance

Over the past year, it has been interesting to see the emphasis that the big names are willing to put on the "enthusiast" crowd, in regards to notebooks. In the past, notebooks have been targeted towards businessmen and the like. These days, however,...

For quite a while, the "enthusiast desktop replacement notebook" market has been dominated by the likes of Alienware, Voodoo, Hypersonic, and Sager. But it's good to see a big name like Dell keep the others on their toes with a viable alternative. That...

Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2

Dell might not be the first name that springs to mind when you think of mobile gaming, but the XPS Gen 2 is about to change that.

Dell has got everything right with the XPS Gen 2 – it looks great, has blistering pace and is stacked full of features. Nice touches like the programmable lights separate the XPS from Dell’s more staid product lines, while the Centrino backbone means...
