JSWeyth, a member of French forum "LesDeLLiens.com" has revealed information of Dell's latest XPS system. The XPS 1730 is a powerful media notebook based on Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 (2.0GHz) / T7500 (2.2GHz) / T7700 (2.4GHz) / X7800 (2.6GHz) processor. I guess it'll be the first machine to pack Intel's latest Core 2 Extreme X7800 mobile processor. Other features includes Nvidia GeForce Go 8600M GS graphics card with 256MB memory, up to 4GB RAM, max 1GB Intel Turbo Memory, Blu-ray drive, b/g/n wireless, and Bluetooth. It's expected to be released on 27 August.

Update: The XPS M1730 is now available for purchase.











This doesnt seem like that great for gaming... the geforce 8600 is a weaker card than the 7950 which they offered in the 1710 (which still gave stuttering performance in some of the newer games, for example supreme commander...) The rest seems to be a bit better than the 1710 though. But why cant they just use the 8800 cards for mobile use yet? Its been out for a year already and still no laptop is fitted with it...
