Dell Dimension XPS - Gaming PC Review

There are some people who’ll buy any car because they need to get from A-B, and then there are those who’ll buy a particular car not just because they need to get from A-B but because they love driving. It’s a similar story with PCs. A PC is essentially a tool and most people will buy the one that does what they need for the best price they can get. The more discerning however will want much more than that; they'll want something that makes a statement.

This is where the Dell Dimension XPS comes in. Just by looking at it you know that this is no ordinary PC. Dell is aiming the XPS at the hardcore gaming market, and as such the machine is pretty much armed to the teeth with some of the most cutting-edge technology around.

However, Dell faces some quite stiff opposition in attracting the sort of customer that's willing to spend the £3,100 that it wants for this machine. If Savrow’s bespoke PCs are sophisticated Aston Martin’s and Alienware’s sleek towers are Dodge Viper’s - big brash and American; then the Dell Dimension XPS is a Ford Focus RS. Looking at the chassis, you can see that there's a regular Dell in there, but one that though intense overengineering and turbocharging has been turned into a lean, mean and agile performer.
