Dell Gamer Laptop Preview

Anandtech previews the new Dell Inspiron XPS, gamer laptop. I don't know if there is a big market for this, who really needs a 9lb laptop except for LAN gaming fan-boys? Even then, it's better to have a small Shuttle cube to go to gamer meets due to performance advantages. "Basically, it looks like an Inspiron 8600 on an elevated platform. The 15.4" WUXGA screen we saw on the beta system was stunning and more brilliant than the 8600, which quite frankly was already a great system to begin with... We have high expectations, so stay tuned."
