DesktopReview’s comments:
The new Dell Studio XPS is fast. It’s really fast. Really, really fast. The new Intel Core i7 platform works very well and should be a solid foundation from which to build here on out. Having said that, however, there are a few issues that could be addressed. Given the speed of the processor and discrete graphics, this system begs for a very fast storage solution…Dell is offering a unique product with the Studio XPS. It offers consumers a chance to upgrade to the latest and greatest from Intel for under a thousand dollars and gain what will likely be a massive jump in performance. Paired with discrete graphics from AMD, it’s hard to go wrong: the CPU will get everything done fast, and the GPU will get some of it done even faster.
