A flame-grilled lappy, minus the sesame seed bun.
The delightful chaps over at Toshiba (who we’re sure just
love
being called chaps) sent us this gaming/multimedia/powerhouse laptop today, so we slammed it down on our photo table, and took some happy snaps for you.
Specifications are quite respectable, with a C2D T9400 running at 2.53GHz and a single 9800M GTX (with an odd 1GB of memory – why is this needed in a laptop?). There’s also 3GB of DDR2 at 1066MHz, though timings are very relaxed at 7-7-7-20. These work together to feed a very impressive 17in screen, with a native res of 1680x1050.
Initial testing results.
Performance of these parts are pretty good, giving 9,093 3DMarks 2006. Check out the other handy info from GPU-Z and CPU-Z, as well as the gallery for a few more pictures. This was the same lappy that we had at the Live Forum down in Melbourne, and it certainly is a looker.
Keep your eyes peeled (we do mean literally, not just a figure of speech) for this laptop in a future issue of Atomic, where our beloved Editor will pick it to pieces (that one was a figure of speech!).

What an absolutely hideous machine. Powerful it may be, but I have never seen an uglier than the Dell XPS 1730.

IMO that thing looks god-damn fuckin sexy!
Nice shots, would have liked to see more of the whole thing from different angles, though.
Did you look in the BIOS if you could Disable EIST? That may have impacted on the 3Dmark Score, also the memory on the GPU, I'm assuming it was dedicated so you couldn't alter that in the BIOS?
Quite a funny review hehe, nice humour... Chaps! =P
