The Dell XPS 17 L702X comes in at a fairly competitive price, though it still comes up short in key areas. 500GB seems small for a £1000-plus laptop and although the screen is very good the 3D capabilities are of limited appeal. But the design flaws of...
Clear and bright display; great sound for a laptop,
Small hard disk; some design oddities.
The XPS 17 benefits from some very slick design, from the touchpad to the keyboard and speakers. However, it is a chunky machine, and the hard disk size on our review model was disappointingly small. This Dell offering isn't particularly cheap, but con...
Weighing 3.36kg with the power brick, and measuring nearly 40mm thick in places, this is no HP Envy 17. Still, if you're looking for a capable, premium desktop replacement that can do everything, the Dell XPS 17 3D fits the bill. Loyd Case, pcworld.co...
Abstract: Dell XPS 17 3D is an attractive looking desktop replacement that offers more expensive highly configurable options, 3D output for games and movies to compatible 3D television and can handle 3D content. It is an excellent choice for those who are lookin...

The Dell XPS 17 3D is a sharp-looking desktop replacement that can handle 3D content, as well as output 3D movies and games to a compatible 3DTV. Highly configurable, the more-expensive options are powerful indeed
Some wonky stereoscopic 3D issues make this less plug-and-play than a 3DTV, and the 17-inch version of the XPS has not gotten the same slim makeover the 15-inch version has
Dell's XPS 17 3D is for those who want a powerful media and gaming 17-inch laptop, but in a more aesthetically upscale package than offered by Dell's Alienware brand. The stereoscopic 3D is gimmicky, but a certain breed of PC gamer will love it.
Great performance and a topnotch 3D experience. Highend feature bundle, just as you'd expect at this price level. One of the best LCDs on the planet
Gets moderately warm to the touch even under minimal load. Huge fan noise. Questionable keyboard design. Overloaded with Dell shovelware and an unnecessary quicklaunch system. Pricey. Awfully heavy
Bright and contrast rich display with vivid colors, Clever port distribution, Very good application performance, Matt case surfaces, Excellent sound system, High-end materials, Perfect manufacturing, Keyboard light, Good gaming performance, Large touchpad
High temperature and noise development during load, Unfavorable loudspeaker placement, No FireWire and ExpressCard, Slightly spongy keyboard, Moderate battery life
Dell XPS 17The summary that we made in the last review for the XPS 17 can basically be repeated for the refresh. Among other things, the perfectly manufactured and high quality case would be mentioned on the pro side. It can score with resistant surfaces...
Fast overall performance, 1080p display offers wide viewing angles, Great JBL speakers and sub-woofer, Two USB 3.0 ports, Capable 2-MP webcam
Gaming frame rates drop with 3D activated, Below-average Wi-Fi throughput, 3D glasses sold separately, Expensive
Like its smaller brother, the XPS 15, the Dell XPS 17 3D delivers one of the richest multimedia experiences yet. Its bright and crisp display and excellent audio makes it a powerful system for those who want to play and watch content in 3D. However, th...
