The unit supports 4GB of RAM, and contains two 200GB hard drives. It also sports a 17-inch widescreen display running at a 1,920 x 1,200-pixel resolution. The body has speakers and a touchpad that are both illuminated by colored LEDs, with sixteen choosable colors.

You'll also get four USB ports, a FireWire port, a mulitformat memory card reader, a 2-megapixel webcam, a 10-key keypad and full-sized keyboard (both of which can also be illuminated), and a Logitech GamePanel LCD. The Dell XPS M1730 measures 16 inches wide by 11.9 inches deep by 2 inches tall, and weighs 10.6 lbs.
