Dell XPS Gen 2

 

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.

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.

The most powerful notebook available, this week at least

Heavy, poor battery life

What can we say? Dell may have decided to stick to a familiar case but when it runs the best graphics card in a notebook currently available who cares - this is a fantastic gaming system that is bound to impress everyone who uses it. The only problem...
