Dell發佈玩家級手提電腦XPS M1730

GAMERS GAIN SUPREMACY WITH DELL XPS M1730 MALAYSIA, 4 October 2007 – PC gaming leader Dell today unleashed the XPS™ M1730 notebook, aka “the beast,” for gamers who want to experience the peak of mobile gaming performance.

Available immediately, the XPS M1730 is the world’s first notebook to incorporate AGEIA PhysX Mobile Technology™ and Logitech’s GamePanel LCD. The PhysX™ processor helps deliver realistic movement and environmental interaction at incredible speeds without degrading overall performance. The GamePanel LCD allows gamers to view game stats, create new macros and track important system information without leaving the game.

The high-octane XPS M1730 delivers incredible mobile gaming performance, supporting the overclocking1 of Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme processor X7900 to Bin +2 (up to 3.2GHz) and featuring NVIDIA® SLI technology with support for DirectX® 10 graphics. It is the only notebook to feature the AGEIA PhysX 100M™ processor, and for a limited time every system includes Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 from Ubisoft.

Designed specifically for the gaming community and dubbed “the beast” by the Dell development team, the new notebook features an aggressive, brawny design that can be personalized with four color accent choices: Crimson Red, Sapphire Blue, Bone White, and Smoke Grey.

Looking ahead, Dell engineered the XPS M1730 chassis to handle the thermal and power requirements of the most powerful next-generation graphics technology.

Other features include a backlit keyboard with separate 10-key number pad, a high-definition display with a lightning fast response time of 7 milliseconds2 and support for Dell’s LightFX application, allowing users and developers to manipulate the system’s multi-colored perimeter lighting LEDs.

For fans of online gaming, the XPS M1730 is Dell’s most “connected” gaming notebook available. It features Wi-Fi technology choices topped out by optional Wireless-N. The M1730 also includes a built-in Web camera and digital array microphone for gamers to clearly see and flame the competition.

Developing PCs for Next-Generation Games
“Dell is committed to the creation of PCs that will take hard-core gamers to new frontiers,” said Glen Robson, head of Dell’s XPS systems. “The XPS M1730 engineering team worked with developers on leading titles such as such as The Orange Box from Valve’s Half Life 2 and 2K Games’ BioShock to help ensure this notebook can deliver the full-throttle power required for the most anticipated PC games.”

“The seamless integration of PhysX into this innovative new product clearly raises the bar in mobile PC gaming,” said Manju Hegde, CEO of AGEIA. “Exciting new PhysX-powered games such as Tom Clancy’s GRAW2 from Ubisoft, NetDevil’s Warmonger and Midway and Epic Games’ upcoming Unreal Tournament 3 are a perfect match for the XPS 1730.”
