Dell XPS 15 L502x Review with i7 2630QM Sandy Bridge

The following is the Dell is the New DELL XPS 15 L502x Laptop.
This Notebook PC has a base price of 800$ and can be customized with your desired CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD, Screen, keyboard, color, peripherals.
We will start the review with the processors, this notebook comes with an option of 6 different Processors and the best thing is all are the latest Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs. The different processor options are th i5-2410M, i5-2520M, i7-2630QM, i7-2720QM and i7-2820QM. 




We will also see whats the best option for the user if you want gaming and other main taskings also. I have chosen the i7-2630QM the best laptop CPU upgrade, Windows Home premium is included in the Notebook. This Notebook comes with a 1 year complete cover service plan which provides the best service in the world. I would suggest get the 2 year service plan for an extra 200 $. It comes with a GT 525M GPU which is good enough but I would suggest get the GT 540M for the extra 100$ as it provides an extra 1 GB memory that can be useful for using dual screens. Though the processing power of both GPUs are same you could go for the 525M if you don't want to spend more 100$. This laptops comes with 4GB RAM which I would say don't upgrade before buying. Its comes with 1X 4GB Memory so it can be upgraded later. A 500 GB HDD is Sufficient. It comes with a 1366X768 Resolution Screen which I feel should be upgraded to 1920 X 1080 Pixels for an extra 150$. Though monitors with Full HD and bigger screen with same Resolution come at lower price if you going to play games on larger screens then I would say don't spend the extra 150$ on the Resolution upgrade. It also has nice options to upgrade to Blu-ray, it also has HDMI ports, USB 3.0 ports for faster access.
