While I am not doubting that this is a great laptop. I am just don’t see the advantage of gaming while on the go?

A lot of laptop gaming enthusiasts are familiar with the high performance machines from Alienware, Voodoo, and other “boutique” laptop companies. Dell, in an attempt to enter the boutique laptop market, released their XPS Gen 2 laptop. This machine combines the powerful GeForce Go 6800 Ultra graphics card with the popular Pentium M CPU in a relatively lightweight 17″ widescreen frame. The XPS is faster, lighter, and even cooler with a longer battery life than its Pentium 4 based competitors. The only catch here is that the starting price of the XPS Gen 2 is an astounding $2,749. For those who can’t afford the XPS yet still desire similar performance, Dell also offers the Inspiron 9300. Using a similar chassis and offering “lower performance” options, the Inspiron 9300 is an incredible value. The best part is that users still have the option to select many powerful components, including the TrueLife WUXGA 17″ LCD and the powerful 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 graphics card, which only lacks some clock speed from the Go 6800 Ultra available in the XPS Gen 2.
