Gaming laptops have typically come in one form: large and obnoxious looking. As well as they perform sometimes you just don’t want to proclaim your tendency to game to the general public, not that you could as they’re more like desktop replacements than actual portable machines.
Dell has taken things down a notch with their Studio XPS 16 notebook, offering up a more palatable set of color schemes making for a sensible looking machine. HotHardware has a review:
In fact, the machine looks so good that it’s easy to forget that it’s not exactly the thinnest or lightest machine on the block. Now, it’s certainly nimble enough for most, and we’re actually impressed with the overall look and feel considering its screen size. Also, the added room enabled Dell to install a full-size keyboard, more powerful speakers, a 1080p panel and a potent 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon 4670 GPU, which is admittedly the star of the system.
A nice machine but, for the price, they could toss in a battery that actually lasted a decent amount of time.
