good: The Dell XPS 17 is a 3D desktop replacement seems strong that it can handle 3D content and 3D movies and 3D games for a compatible TV out. Highly configurable, the more expensive options are powerful indeed.
The bad: Some 3D stereoscopic wonky issues make it less plug-and-play of a 3D TV, and 17-inch version of the XPS did not change the image of 15-inch version is fine.
The bottom line: Dell XPS 17 3D is for anyone who wants a powerful notebook for gaming and 17 inches, but in a more aesthetically elegant package offered by Dell Alienware brand. Stereoscopic 3D is artificial, but a certain breed of PC gamers will love.
Dell wide, sometimes confusing the consumer white label has, fortunately, was reduced to three, and there is a clear distinction between them sufficiently to make the choice of a Dell laptop (or at least a starting point) of a simple equation. The brand Inspiron current reaches the lower end of the price spectrum, with plastic bodies and a surprisingly wide range of component options, the Alienware brand a premium price, is the mountain-Dew-chugging players, with the aesthetic palate lag by back their budgets. In the middle is the XPS line, which has some of the same components available in the other two edge lines, adds new options and different, and involves the entire system in an attractive metal lined box.
The high level of appearance XPS 17 3D is a relatively recent variant of the brand, with the current 17-inch XPS 2011 with its second-generation Intel ® Core series processors, and adding support for 3D stereoscopic 3D platform Nvidia Vision (which is actually the standard for PC-based 3D). You can also send the signal to a 3D TV via HDMI and watch video or play 3D PC games - a potential project for fans of PC games, like StarCraft II.
Our 3D called XPS 17 $ 2,054, but the starting price for a 3D version is $ 1,199 (XPS 3D models can not be configured from 17 to 899 dollars). Although it is really difficult to set up a laptop to cost more than $ 2.000 today, our review unit included an Intel Core i7-face 2630QM, 8 GB of RAM, an HD 1080p 555m GT GPU Nvidia GeForce, Blu-ray writer-a and 1 TB of hard disk space.
This is probably more equipment you need one, but a more reasonable construction to begin working for less than $ 1,500, and still be a killer gaming/multimedia/3D platform that will make your apartment looks like a room.
With a brushed metal design and color scheme in three shades of black / gray / silver, 17-inch version of the Dell XPS is almost identical to the smaller 15-inch XPS, for the last time in March 2011. It is buttoned a multimedia machine, but do not look out of place in a den or living room luxury.
This is, however, an entirely different project from the very recent XPS 15Z, a reinvention of the thin disk XPS line, which has a slimmer body, a slot-load optical and large speaker grilles on either side of the keyboard. The 15Z is much cleaner, nicer, in general, and that one day you can see the design features of their way to the XPS 17, but for now it remains a laptop thick, chunky, but not an attractive.
Spring Dell pattern on the screen - a collection of quick launch of applications and menus - has become a major revision this year. Instead of being stuck on top (or bottom) of the screen, which is now about a quarter of its length, with great artistic tiles for the various categories, including music, games and video. It's called the Dell stage, and you can change the size or contents of files, or convert the whole thing out. How docklike software packages go, this is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
As a 3D-compatible laptop, the XPS 17 in 3D can be used to view stereoscopic content, including photos, videos and games, using a pair of glasses includes NVIDIA 3D Vision (our unit of analysis failed to include them, but had an extra pair around, extra pairs around $ 100). The good part of 3D-based PC is that almost any PC game can be played in 3D mode, because the system displays the 3D view 3D data generated by the game itself, unlike the console games do not require a 3D stereoscopic specially encoded.
The XPS 17 3D software also works with Nvidia 3DTV Play, which lets you connect the HDMI output of a notebook in HDMI input on 3D TV and watch 3D content on the big screen. We had to go get the software in our Nvidia - which oddly was not previously installed, and it should be noted that Nvidia charges $ 39 for software, which also has a trial version for 14 days.
Once you have the software 3DTV Play up, we were able to play PC games using the XPS 17 on a large screen Samsung 3D TV. However, it comes with two important caveats. Resolution 3DTV content in the game is limited to 720, and had a small amount of signal delay. Portal We found our test games in 3D, still playable, but faster-paced games may suffer from this kind of delay.
The screen has an XPS 17 3D Full HD 1920 x1080 pixel resolution, which is what you expect from a premium desktop replacement. Screen images were clear and bright, and off-axis viewing was above average, but the screen is very bright also collected a large amount of brightness. The speakers of the JBL brand are strong and fairly deep, but still want to connect headphones or external speakers, depending on who is playing and how many people are watching.
