Just head to the Dell US site & pick Inspiron17 or XPS17 depending on your budget & requirements.

how does xps17 compare with alienware m17x

just reading all reviews on how heavy the XPS17 is..AM thinking seriously of going for the XPS15. Anyone using XPS17 right now? is it really that bulky to carry around?

17 inch laptops are more of a desktop replacements or portable workstations... They are very heavy and not at all comfortable to be carried around...

Usual weight for a 17 incher is around 3.6 kg which is quite heavy IMO ...
