System Name: Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2
Processor: Intel Pentium M 770 - 2.13GHz - 2MB L2 cache
Motherboard: Intel i915PM (dual-channel support, PCI-Express)
Memory: 1GByte (2x 512MB) DDR2 PC4200 SODIMMs
Hard Drives: Fujitsu MHU2100AT 100GB, 8MB cache, 4,200RPM
Screen: 17" WUXGA (1920x1200)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra (450/1100)

"Battery life is also good, ranging from 2-4 hours depending upon application, but I suspect most buyers will have it tied on to the mains."

"The chosen combination of Pentium M 770 and GeForce 6800 Go Ultra 256MB make for, without doubt, the fastest gaming laptop ever to grace HEXUS Labs, and I keep repeating this, ad nauseum, but it's just so damn quiet."

"With the £2099 asking price and gamers in mind, I'd urge Dell to pre-configure a model with a 7,200RPM hard drive for faster loading and, perhaps, look into a better base warranty. Other than that, though, I'm struggling to find bad points about it without resorting to nitpicking."
