So I just bit on the Dell XPS One deal for my dad's birthday and was wondering if anyone here has experience with it.

I know upgrading the ram is rarely easy and matter of 2 screws but how hard is it to upgrade the cpu? It has the intel E4500, so am I right in assuming that i can swap it out for say an E6750 I have laying around?

As for the graphics, it seems like it's soldered on like typical notebooks.. darn.
 
You mean the computer has an onboard GPU? Does it have an available PCI-E x16 (long) slot?
 
Laptop GPU is not the same as conventional desktop cards. Basically looks like a block of thick metal with heatpipes.
 
D'oh! Forgot that we were talking about the laptop XPS.

I wouldn't recommend swapping out the processor, especially if the laptop still has a warranty on it. Laptop components are a bit more finicky than their desktop equivalents... there's a greater chance that something could kill your computer.
 
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, XPS ONE is a desktop that uses laptop graphics.
 
i dont think Dell uses Desktop CPUs for Laptop gaming, correct me if im wrong

let us know if this is a desktop or laptop

I kinda want to say your talking about a "laptop" since it has screws by the ram slots.
let us know so we can help
 
omggggg.. you guys are driving my crazy. do some research before you guys keep posting.

do I have to say it again?
XPS ONE is a DESKTOP w/ some NOTEBOOK components

The processor can be changed, it is a DESKTOP CHIP. The mobo is G33 based. The video card is NOT A CONVENTIONAL desktop pciex16 slotted card.

Oh wtf, can't find the video card.
 
hahah yea lowteckh is correct. it is the xps one as in the all in one desktop replacement from dell.

its good to know i have the option to swap out the cpu, too bad it isnt the same with the graphics card.
 
I can't find out if it's integrated or external. G33 isn't ATI which is why I'm boggled over the integrated part - G33 is the Intel x3xxx whatever fail integrated. If it is external like their laptops, then you can order a laptop based graphics card through them and replace it with that.

does anyone know if you can install that into the base xps one
 
Should be no reason it can't fit. But... isn't the ONE only available in the 2400? Aside from the first gen ones with the x800.

And for 150, screw that.
 
yea, its pretty damn expensive. for 100 you can get what a 8800gt? oh well its not like my dads going to be playing cod4 or anything. lmao. thanks for your help.
