Dell XPS 17(3D)

Dell revived the XPS brand of notebooks in late 2010 with the XPS 13 and XPS 15 multimedia notebooks, but arguably the most impressive entertainment experience comes from the new 17-inch XPS 17 3D laptop with built-in 3D display (using NVIDIA Nvision 3D glasses, sold separately). The new 3D capable XPS 17, like the rest of the XPS lineup, features JBL-branded sound, an integrated subwoofer and glossy high-definition screens

This is the first Dell laptop with native support for 3D in both the display as well as the graphics card. The XPS 17 with 3D display comes equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M graphics card to provide the rendering muscle needed to generate stereoscopic 3D images at fast enough frame rates for HD video playback. The XPS 17 3D laptop also features NVIDIA 3DTV Play software, allowing movie lovers and hardcore gamers to connect their XPS laptop to a compatible 3D HDTV and enjoy 3D Blu-ray disc playback or play PC games in 3D. Dell will also be including the newest generation of Intel Core i7 processor options from the Intel Sandy Bridge platform.

Our initial impressions from the show floor at CES pretty positive: Despite naturally being thicker and heavier than the smaller 15-inch XPS 15, the new XPS 17 is pretty thin and light for a 17-inch multimedia notebook with 3D capabilities. The keyboard in the demo systems feels firm and enjoyable to use. The JBL speakers sound nice, but we'll have to see if the placement in the palm rests was a good idea. Sound is directed up and toward the user but since the speakers are right where your wrists naturally fall, I suspect at least a few people will find the audio muffled from time to time.
