The Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 2 is the fastest laptop I have ever tested. With a NVIDIA GeFoce Go 6800 Ultra video card with 256Meg of GDDR3 RAM, this laptop was designed for one thing and one thing only - to win the game and look good doing it. Where the XPS Gen 2 is a letdown is in battery life. It simply sucks. However, asking about the battery life on this gaming notebook is like asking how asking the miles per gallon on a Ferrari Enzo - who the hell cares? It's all about speed and looks. For what this notebook is designed for, I highly doubt you'll run into many situation where you're on the battery...

The chosen combination of Pentium M 770 and GeForce 6800 Go Ultra 256MB make for, without doubt, the fastest gaming laptop ever to grace HEXUS Labs, and I keep repeating this, ad nauseum, but it's just so damn quiet. The screen's pretty sharp, the keyboard's above average, and the chassis looks pretty cool. With the £2099 asking price and gamers in mind, I'd urge Dell to pre-configure a model with a 7,200RPM hard drive for faster loading and, perhaps, look into a better base warranty. Other than that, though, I'm struggling to find bad points about it without resorting to nitpicking.
