Dell XPS M1730 Professional Reviews:
CNET.com.au has reviewed the Dell XPS M1730 and given out-
“The good: Dual SLI graphics; strong mobile gaming scores; 10-key number pad; integrated Logitech GamePanel LCD; multicolored, built-in LED lights play along with music and games; backlit keyboard; can play media files without booting up.
The bad: Similarly configured laptops are faster on some tests; plastic lid and creaky hinges don’t scream (or sound like) luxury; the albatross that is the massive power brick.
The bottom line: With a redesigned case that’s chock-full of cutting-edge technologies, the Dell XPS M1730 tops our list of our favorite gaming laptops.”

“Dell has respawned its flagship XPS gaming notebook into an even bigger and more powerful beast. The M1730 is one of the fastest gaming notebooks on the market and is certainly the flashiest. The M1730 is the most attention-grabbing notebook I have seen to date; its exterior appearance is sleek and intimidating. Taking the M1730 to a LAN party is sure to get one recognized. Dell has done a wonderful job with the M1730 inside and out; the software support may not be perfect at the moment but the hardware is all there, which is what counts.”
PCmag has reviewed the Dell XPS M1730 and given out-
“Bottom Line:The Dell XPS M1730 (Penryn) may demolish all of our 3D benchmark tests, but it’s a little too one-dimensional to recommend for anything other than gaming.
Pros:Intel Extreme processor. Best mobile nVidia graphics to date. 4GB RAM. Excellent LED accents with customizable themes and colors. SLI configuration. Dedicated Ageia PhysX card.
Cons:Very pricey. Way too bulky.”
TrustedReviews has reviewed the Dell XPS M1730 and given out-
“Having promised much the Dell XPS M1730 largely disappoints, with a lack of up-to-date drivers resulting in inconsistent performance. Its mobile physics processor is largely useless, while the display is particularly underwhelming. Some thorough configuration options may attract some, but only if they’re willing to be very patient as software support is expanded.”

It will depend on the games you would want to play… to check whether your game is available for a Mac, try to browse around: http://www.apple.com/games/
I recommend you a MacBook Pro. I have a lot of gamer friends (Mac users as well) who finds a Mac perfect for gaming, but in this case, you will need an external mouse to make it easier for your controls (a mighty mouse or a wireless Mighty mouse). But the specs for a MacBook Pro are the best for gaming and is even more–used by professionals. Less problems as well as opposed to some .dll errors of Windows that stops the game or hangs while you game. I say, Mac will be your best choice!
It will be more expensive or as expensive as new released laptops but it will be worth your gaming spree.

How good is the frame rate on the dell xps m1730 on a game like cod4 or crysis?

With its SLI graphics card, it should be quite good but still not as good as desktops with high end cards. It can score 8500 marks in 3D Mark 06. High end desktop cards score more than 9,000 marks. Factory overclocked desktop graphics cards and the latest ones with dual GPU score >14,000 marks.
