Hello everyone! i am new to this forum and i made this thread to ask for advice on wether to buy Dell XPS L701x or not. I am gonna be using it as a desktop replacement so that means i am gonna play games as well but mostly need it for multimedia use. I have heard that Dell's laptops are good and trustworthy and i wanna hear how good it is for gaming cause from the reviews i have read so far i saw that most people said it is kinda slow... it's specs are amazing and i am talking about the one with the GT555m with 3gb memory. If anyone has it or has used it please enlighten me :)
 
Well I have L502x and its with the GT 540M, it performs really well. I think the L701x is XPS 17? I would suggest buy the L702x it is the new Dell XPS.
The GT 555M and the i7-2630QM CPU together will get you the perfect desktop Replacement. Though I don't have good experience with Old Dell L501x, but the new ones (with Sandy Bridge CPU) are amazing.
 
Well my biggest problem tbh is that i live in Greece and we are not up to date in technology :P. Only found the L701x now and of course that L702x hasn't come to us yet :S. from what i have read the l701x was rather slow for it specs and had overheating probs... well not u can cook a steak on the laptop overheating but still it was a prob. i intend to keep the next laptop i buy for at least 2-3 years and this is why i want a high end "machine" like that one... looks like i will just have to wait and see when they bring us the new model

Hmm, well the GT 555M is a new GPU, I'm not sure how its coming with L701X, but if a GPU released in 2011 comes on it, maybe i7-2630QM comes on with. What are the full specs of the laptop. Tell me the full specs and the main thing you will be using it for, then I could tell you whether it will be slow or fast.
 
well i only found it in one store so far and of course the specs are in Greek so it would be no use giving u a link so i am gonna right it down :P
i7-2630QM 2.0 GHz (hadn't noticed before)
6GB Ram
2*250(7200rpm) hard drives
Nvidia Geforce GT555m 3gb
So from what i see it has the spec of the one that costs 1k usd in Dell's website... i don't think it can be slow with that spec tbh... And i will be mostly using it for movies,browsing and the occasional gaming ofc... pff it costs like 700USD in US and here the retail price is like 2k...
 
Well if its not heavy gaming at Full HD then don't buy it as it will be overkil. I would suggest an i3, i5 CPU for movies and browsing, it can handle occasional gaming too. Also get the 1920X1080 Screen for the movies.
 
think i am gonna buy it. i would rather have a pc that is too good for my needs rather than wanting to replace it again after a year or two like i did with my current laptop :P... well man thanks a lot for your help :)
