The Dell Studio XPS 7100 Unboxing & First Impressions
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 07:00 AM
Above is part one of an unboxing and first impressions video of the Dell Studio XPS 7100, a desktop PC from Dell. This particular model I ordered runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and is powered by an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T. This is AMD's six-core CPU, running at 2.8 Ghz with a turbo boost up to 3.3 Ghz. This particular configuration of the XPS 7100 also includes an ATI Radeon HD 5450 with 1 GB of RAM. It has a 750 GB 7200 RPM hard drive, a Blu-ray reader/CD/DVD burner, 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, memory card slots, and gigabit Ethernet. Part two after the break.
My initial tests of the XPS 7100 were quite positive - it's an impressive system with surprising performance for the money. Prices will vary depending on country, but I managed to snag this unit using a coupon with an end price of $799 CAD. Stay tuned for my full review, but if you have any questions, please post them and I'll do my best to answer them.
