But now I'm convinced that's not going to happen.

So all I have to say is...

DAMN! THAT'S ONE FUGLY LAPTOP!

Peace out Dell, it was nice while it lasted. But you officially SUCK A$$ at designing now!]]>Sep 6th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/Sep 6th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/They should have made one more like the 1330.]]>Sep 6th 2007 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/

If you want style, go buy a painting, or a sculpture. If you want top hardware and high-end specs, buy a laptop. If the laptop looks good, to you, then so much the better. If not, who cares? Are you hoping to win a beauty pageant, or frag your opponents and run multiple applications with ease?

I don't want a bunch of flimsy plastic bullshit slapped on my freakin' expensive high-end laptop in an attempt to whore it up. I want it solidly built, and I want it to run fast. I don't want to feel like I have to swaddle and cradle it every time I pull it out. I don't want some stupid ultra-shine that's going to get scarred and marred after a month of real use. This is a piece of high-end machinery, and should stand up to heavy use by hardcore gamers. If it doesn't then it isn't worth the silicon the chips are made with.

Being by Dell, it may not be anyway, but aesthetics be damned. I want speed and dependability. Cut the design dept. and throw more money at R&D, Testing, and QA.

If more effort went into making things work instead of surface deep eye-candy, maybe shit would last longer and run better.

Its also x1.5 thicker then current 17" XPS/Inspiron for no good reason other then to house the 2HDs stacked cheaply and help cooling for "free" .

In fact everything in it looks subpar and cheap , but I'm sure DELL is planning to sell this for 1000's $ more then the inspiron 1720 which isn't so hot either .

And while I enjoyed reading your pov , I think what is more accurate would be "practical design" which suggests an item doesn't have to be eye pleasing if its doing its job .

A fine example would be the original Vespa which was an odd looking scooter but everything about it had a function and practical reason .

This is not the case here .]]>Sep 7th 2007 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/Sep 7th 2007 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/

Am I wasting my time waiting? Should I go for the M1710?

You've guest already, no sign of the M1730, not on the euro site anyway.

And the teaser/sign up page has disappeared.]]>Sep 26th 2007 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/Sep 26th 2007 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/06/dell-xps-m1730-shots-galore-inside-and-out/
