Dell would do pretty much anything to push its laptops off the shelves and having a huge green orc painted on them might help achieve their purpose. The company announced that the XPS M1730 Dell Laptop featuring the World of Warcraft theme will be release on December 11.
The XPS M1730 World of Warcraft edition laptop will come in two flavors (Horde or Alliance) but with one epic price tag: $4,500. The World of Warcraft-related goodie pack is quite large and includes the following:
- WoW & Burning Crusade in retail boxes - Strategy Guides - Behind the Scenes, "The Making of WoW" DVD - WoW & Burning Crusade Paperback Novels - WoW Audio Soundtrack - Quest Envelope which includes a Blizzard beta key card w/ five keys used to access future WoW games, an upgrade certificate which allows customers to upgrade their accounts to a "Collectors Edition Account" enabling them to get a special in-game pet and a Golden Ticket which allows customers to get a pre-paid special custom action figure based on their own in-game WoW character.
On the hardware side, the XPS M1730 World of Warcraft edition laptop features DX10 SLI graphics, Extreme Edition Core 2 Duo processors, Dual RAID 0 7200 RPM HDDs, Wireless connectivity w/ built-in Mobile Broadband, Wireless-N, Bluetooth and Dell's Wi-Fi catcher and the built-in Logitech GamePanel above keyboard. Blu-ray is optional.
