Hiddy Ho Mr. XPS M1730, nice to see you up and dancing on Dell’s own website for a change. While it’s not exactly official, reader Evgeni noticed that a little E-Value code tomfoolery will pull up pictures, specs, and prices easy enough. $4,192 will take home a crimson red, 17-inch WUXGA beast with a Vista Ultimate pre-load and the following specs:

• 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme X7900 processor (800MHz FSB and 4MB cache)
• 2GB 667MHz DDR2 memory (4GB for an additional $375)
• 2 x 200GB 7200RPM disks
• DVD burner (upgradeable for Blu-ray playback for an additional $550)
• 512MB Dual (!) NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT with nVIDIA SLI Te
• 802.11a/g/n WiFi
• 9-cell primary and 9-cell secondary batteries

That’s only the start.
