Game aficionados will be rubbing their hands with glee, after hearing the news that Dell have finally unleashed the Inspiron XPS2 (or Gen 2), into the expectant arms of the eager gaming public.

Dell xps gaming laptopJust whenyou thought laptop gaming had it's back to the wall, the InspironXPS Gen 2, (the Dell equivalent of the Sundance kid) enters thegaming saloon - Nvidia GeForce Go 6800 Ultra guns blazing. The release of the Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 gaming laptop,has been eagerly anticipated by the notebook gaming public.That's because the XPS Gen 2, or XPS2 for short, is powered by an IntelPentium M 2GHz Processor, and the GeForce Go 6800 Ultra mobilegraphics card.
The XPS Gen 2 weighs in at a hunky 8.6 pounds and has a 17 inchUltraSharp Wide Aspect display with TrueLife, which Dell insistoffers up to 76% more viewing area than a regular 17inch WXGA+screen. Dell haven't skimped on audio quality either, as theInspiron XPS 2 includes a dedicated subwoofer to give game soundeffects more punch and depth.
Dell also allow you to customize your XPS Gen 2 with personalizedprinted gaming covers, although this option may be aimed atyounger buyers, we feel this gimmick is not required. Bottom lineis how will the XPS2 perform, and how will that battery last whenthe GeForce Go 6800 Ultra is at full throttle?

At the time of writing (February 2005) Dell areoffering 500 dollars off the price of an InspironXPS Gen 2, bringing the cost down to 2,249 dollars. If you're looking for a new laptop to play the latest 3D games on, (and to use as a desktop replacement) Dell's XPS 2 may well be worth a look.

Update october 2005! - Dell recently replaced this notebook with the deluxe gaming M1710 notebook.
