It is mostly about users :/

My 1730 with 2x8800 does the job well ;)

I got recently M1730 and I am very dissapointed about that thing. A lot of problems with performance. All games crashing or performance plunges till computer not running at all. You can find a lot of posts talking about SLI problems and I consider that DELL is selling without take care of costumers and they have lost all reputation for me. I think is junk... How can DELL sell such a product?

Is anyone else having problems with the AC power connection into the PC? I'm now on my second M1730 - the first one simply stopped charging. The second one often fails to recognize that it's plugged in. Is this the beginning of the end?

Mr. Bruno mentioned that the M1730 is available with 800Mhz RAM, which is entirely untrue. When I contact Dell support, they told me that the 800Mhz option was removed because it was unstable.

Please tell me if an upgrade from 8700m gt to 8800m gt will be possible, price and date …. I have been real patient and have spend so many hours trying to make the m1730 give me that gaming experience you promised, without any luck – medium or low performance in all the latest games (Graw2, Dirt, COD4 and Crysis).

Gamers Gain Supremacy … that is high quality and fast performance …- http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070927/20070927005181.html?.v=1

About 200 posts on SLI problems, nobody can actually claim that SLI is working - even the Nvidia Club SLI reg. application says NO SLI BUSTER!

Try if your M1730 has SLI enabled - and ps. Vista Hotfixes .. fixes nothing on this rig!

4000$ Wasted - going back if DELL does not get in the game real soon.

Why can't the M1730 be connected to my 52" Sony HDTV in SLI mode? I mean without SLI it is hardly a gaming laptop.

No problem in connecting with SLI disabled.

have had a 1730 for about 3 weeks. basically its worthless for gaming and seems to have vista/nvidia/display issues. as far as I can tell i wasted $4k on a product that should have not been sold in good faith. games that dont work include company of heroes opposing, and crysis. am I better off just running it in single video card mode instead of sli?
