what is the difference between the 4670 and the one he has reviewed is this one not better because it is newer or did the 4670 have a graphics card option or what a response would be nice and thank you in advance
this on web site said that the studio xps 16 was better but i think that was before the new mac book pros came out but if you do not have to much money to spend get this but if you wan save and get a better OS and boot camp it then wait and get the mac
Very good review! I have an XPS like this one. I do have to say though, it does get hot even if i’m not using it for gaming. Does seem to have got hotter since i bought the laptop (august 2009) and think it’s time for a cooling pad! Very good screen but i get crackling subwoofer problem, maybe again it’s just a lot of heavy use
I wish he would compare this with the macbook pro
hows the webcam on this is it great, bad, what cause im looking to buy i just like to play with the webcam alot and well how is it
rocketdock, google it its free
Does the Xps from Best Buy comes with keyboard lit-back ?
and btw, what is that dock you have on the top of the screen?
There are a few other laptops with 1920×1080 resolution (even a couple sub-17″ ones) but atm RGBLED is only offered by this one Dell model.
RGBLED is evidently a special kind of backlit display with far more color accuracy and range than the WLED backlighting that many other laptops offer. It will definitely make the screen look much nicer than average laptop displays, but it’s not absolutely required unless you do graphics work. It’s pretty much the best laptop screen available at this time.
I am looking for a laptop with a good display. It seems to be, that it would be either this one, or a Macbook Pro. Does anyone know the technical differences? It´s a TN panel, yes. Does the MBP also have that? What about this ‘RGBLED’?
@helmemarti he has the 6 cell..9cell have a 10deg lift
@Paddyh92 i want to know too
what is your battery life in power sacver with 9 cell batteruy?
I’m no expert but I’ve been googling this and here’s what I’m getting:
RGBLED is a high-end screen technology, so while it’s no doubt beautiful for watching movies and whatnot, it’s not necessary unless you do a lot of work with graphics in which case you’ll want it.
i5 is a pretty good processor and while i7 is obviously faster and better for multithreading, if you’re a normal user or even a gamer it’s probably overkill.
Since neither is strictly necessary for most people, it’s up to you.
@Paddyh92 Depends, you want high performance /w windows?
Or lowerend parts, but with OS X?
@Paddyh92 Depends what you’re after.
Hey man the I7 is no longer offered with the RGBLD. only with the I5. Should I buy the I7 withouth the RGBLD and with a 1080p WLED or should I get the I5 with the RGBLD. Processor or display? help me bro
hey would you recommend the dell studio XPS 16 or the macbook pro?
how much was it.?
WLED screen a big drop in quality?
Good one
How’s the screen?
Can it play crysis
is it heavy?
thanks for review btw really in depth fantastic
