Re-integration of the Dell XPS series notebooks Reloaded, luxury high-end positioning, and build to meet the users are more stringent experience requirements. The ultra-luxurious hardware configuration, but also for the first time using a high-quality JBL sound system, the effort to dedicate the theater-level high-definition visual and audio enjoyment, the following, we will be evaluating this rebirth after the XPS 17.
Advantages:
Anodized aluminum enclosure
JBL's high-quality speaker
Dual USB 3.0 interface
Blu-ray
Disadvantages:
Dell XPS 17 Battery life to be enhanced
The keyboard has a slight subsidence phenomenon
The XPS 17 stylish metallic look
After the re-integration of the product line, Dell introduced new XPS series laptop computers located in the high-end fashion in this shell selected anodized aluminum metal material to enhance the stylish and tough look but also played a scratch-resistant protective effect. Anodized aluminum material products are rare in your notebook, the metal material is out of an Alienware with XPS, we can see the rebirth of XPS position not lower than the unattainable Alienware series.
After reading the XPS 17 overall appearance, I believe the feeling of everyone with the same Xiaobian have through the metallic finish strong XPS 17 elegant rounded waistline is how looks like a large ship? Yes, the XPS series inspired from the spaceship, although the bottom of the same with the top cover metal materials, but the silver paint to do the same before and after the echo effect, and enhance the visual impact, standard 9-cell battery will also be notebook overall elevation, more ergonomic standards.
The XPS 17 in the interface area as a high-end fashion this certainly will not do other notebook products, should provide some of the so-called high-end interface and configuration. A gorgeous curve on both sides of the fuselage split called "Heixia the silver, the spacecraft wings wearing no doubt, XPS, 17 the left side there is only one USB 2.0 interface, thermal windows, Jiu Geyi reader (SD, SDIO, SDXC, SDHC, MS, MS Pro, MMC, MSXC, xD). The XPS 17 right side from right to left is the USB 2.0 ports, microphone jack, two headphone jacks, and Blu-ray. The main interface of the XPS 17 are located in the rear of the fuselage, we look at the left interface, DisplayPort interface, HDMI interface and cable interface from left to right, respectively. The XPS 17 right rear interface from left to right are computer Kong locks, power connector, two USB 3.0 interface.
The new XPS series laptop to give us the biggest surprise is not mentioned above, USB 3.0 interface and Blu-ray drive, but for the first time using the JBL high-quality sound system. XPS series laptop computers have built-in high-fidelity JBL speakers and Waves is MaxxAudio professional fever audio technology, combining, during the games, watch movies, to provide full, vibrant sound.
XPS JBL speakers of two 5-watt unit +1, 12-watt subwoofer 22-watt audio unit, enough to bring you top audio performance and the most fun listening experience. In addition, the Waves audio hierarchical technology can achieve better dynamic range, frequency response and imaging results, and provide the best transparency, clarity and natural sound.
The XPS 17 uses a 17-inch screen design, equipped with full-size keyboard with keypad area is reasonable, is worth mentioning that, the keyboard backlit keyboard, as long as the configuration you can think of, almost all in the XPS 17 find them. 17-inch XPS 17 for the keyboard area and wrist rest provides a very large space for the use of the touch pad area, the surface smooth, very accurate positioning, left and right buttons back to full stretch, feel is superior. Backlit keyboard for the XPS 17 can be manually open and does not reference a sense of control, a little regret. The keycap slightly concave, to better meet the finger tapping, feel very good, but the keyboard is the overall subsidence of signs, this may be due to the evaluation of the prototype due to individual differences.
The XPS 17 has a screen of 17 inches, weight should not be very light, and comes standard with a 9-cell lithium dell laptop battery, test weight and battery life. The XPS 17 stand-alone with a 9-cell lithium battery weight 3.695Kg, coupled with the dell power adapter and power cord, the weight is 4.33Kg, so the weight for a 17-inch notebook and can accept, but this weight cents no portability at all. 9-cell lithium battery life is not ideal, only two and a half hours or so, but for such a high-end configuration of the notebook fairly acceptable, after all, the 17-inch screen, 2.1 speakers, high-performance graphics cards and so the configuration is regarded as the power-hungry notebooks.
The following describes the hardware configuration of this we have reviewed the XPS 17: processor 4 cores 8 threads, the Intel Core i7-740QM (1MB L2 cache, 6MB L3 cache), 8GB Memory, 1TB (500GB × 2 7200 RPM ) hard drive, 17-inch display with a resolution of 1600 × 900, the card uses a very powerful NVIDIA Geforec GT445M, memory to 3GB. The XPS 17 equipped with a memory for 3GB of NVIDIA Geforec GT445M graphics, it is clear this is currently the leader in mobile graphics
Rebirth after XPS series notebooks in the introduction by a great deal of attention, through the evaluation of the XPS 17, we also understand that the products of the high-end fashion positioning, luxury hardware configuration of the coveted not only by the 4 cores 8 threads, the Intel Core i7-740QM processor and 3GB memory NVIDIA Geforec GT445M graphics card is also equipped with high-quality JBL speakers, and USB 3.0 and Blu-ray. Performance and product positioning to achieve reunification, the test data also tell us that this is a very good notebook products.
