What People Say

5.0 out of 5 stars Great computer

By

I'm not a huge fan of Dell, but their new XPS line is really great. It's important to get one with a backlit keyboard like this one has - they are not standard, and most of them that are sold do not have it. It is something that you don't really know you need until you've already bought the computer. The 435M is a top notch graphics card and the newest generation from NVidia, and the Blu-Ray drive makes it future-proof (at least for now!). What's the point of buying a laptop nowadays that can't play Blu-Rays?? The 6GB of RAM instead of 4GB is also a nice addition.

I bought a Dell XPS 17 directly from Dell. It came with a defective screen. So I called Dell. The screen replacement was on back order, but they said they could ship me a replacement computer with identical specs immediately. I received the replacement computer just two days later. Unfortunately the replacement computer had severely downgraded specifications. 900p screen instead of the 1080p screen, i7-2630 processor instead of i7-2720, gt550m graphics instead of gt555m.

In every way possible they replaced my computer with inferior components.

I immediately called Dell and proceeded to be put on hold and bounced around for over 6 hours trying to get the issue resolved.

As I write this I am on hold yet again with a Dell representative who is completely unable or unwilling to assist me.

I cannot speak to anyone in the United States for support without paying an additional $250 for some support package

4.0 out of 5 stars I don't know much for laptops but. IT's awesome

Ok, so i bought this laptop directly from dell. i got it with the cheapest intel core i7 and 6 gb of ram. also upgraded the video card and got the back lit keys. i don't know much about computers, or what nots, but i do know that so far this computer hasn't shown any problems to me. when i first used it i notice that there were a few black dots on the screen (kinda looked like dead pixels) but they weren't they were too big to be that. it turned out to be trash inside the screen i guess because they eventually went away after a couple of months. it really didn't bother me much. If i can tell you one thing that i really like about this laptop though its that its loud! it really is loud, it can fill a room no problem and the sound is nice and crisp (whatever that means) but yes trust me on that one, the sound really does sound really really good. the only problem with this is that the keyboard is in a way placed that when you are typing, you are blocking the left speaker which is a bummer but just wear headphones or whatever and you are golden. Another negative is that where your left hand rest as you play a video game, not only does it block he speaker, but it also gets really hot! i was playing assassins creed and every other check point i had to lift my hand because it was really hot! not i am a guy and i know i have think skin around that area so i can deal with it, but for those who have sensitive hands, well good luck with that. i have heard some pretty bad reviews about this laptop out there, and well maybe they are true either ways my laptop is working fine to me. main reason why i got it with so many upgrades is because i found a 400 dollar coupon if i upgraded it to 17 inch so haha that's my story. it works for me (then again, my old desktop had less than 1/2 gb ram and 225 gb or memory with a really crappy video card so i might not know what i am saying) it works for me, but will it work for you?
