Dell laptop computers are among the most popular gaming devices in the market today, combining high performance with portability and aesthetics. Of these, the Dell XPS 17 3D seems to strike the right balance between budget considerations and a rich gaming experience, as compared to the Alienware brand. Maintaining their performance requires high quality Dell computer support service which is available online.

Several important aspects have to be factored in while planning to purchase a gaming laptop. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) or simply, the processor, Random Access Memory (RAM), main memory, display size and on-screen resolution, the graphics card and power supply are crucial to the performance of the laptop in a gaming environment.

The Dell XPS 17 3D has an i7 Intel processor which is the fastest in the league of Intel processors and is the best in the industry, to date. The processor speed of 2.0GHz is not the best that money can buy, but is certainly high enough for everyday gaming. The XPS 17 3D comes with an 8GB DDR3 RAM and 1TB of main memory. Here again, DDR3 is the latest type of RAM. The graphics on this laptop are supported by the Nvidia GeForce GT 555M Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). On-screen resolution is 1080p HD.

Dell XPS 17 3D comes into the category of a desktop replacement laptop, which supports 3D gaming and photo/video viewing using Nvidia 3D vision glasses. The best part about gaming on this PC is the ability to play almost any PC game in 3D and not just stereoscopic 3D versions.

Keeping the Dell XPS 17 3D operating at its best performance requires the user to run frequent system checks. This ensures enough free disk space is available in the hard drive and unwanted/unused software and games are promptly uninstalled. Defragmenting often revs up a slowed gaming computer by improving space allocation of its’ various programs. Since defragmenting requires a fair degree of technical proficiency, it is preferable to engage a professional service which is available with just a call at Dell computer support phone number.

Updating the graphics card on the Dell XPS 17 3D with the latest drivers also helps speed up the system and improves the graphic element in gaming. It is important to know which drivers would work with the current graphics card, without raising any compatibility issue.

The Dell XPS 17 3D can be connected to a High Definition TV (HDTV) which supports 3D viewing via High-Definition Multimedia Interface(HDMI) for large screen viewing and gaming. It is important to ensure the HDTV resolution is no less than 1080p. This gaming laptop also features a Blu-ray burning drive, which most laptops do not have.

Compared to the 15 inch version of the Dell XPS series, this laptop is bulkier and has no slim variant on offer. Pricing depends on the type of processor and hard drive memory; in other words, a dual core processor and lesser hard drive memory comes cheaper than a quad core processor. Other disadvantages would be heating up of the laptop on extended use and a gaming experience not on par with the Alienware series. If you face any concern with this gaming laptop then third-party Dell Computer Support service is also available there.
