Dell Inspiron 1720

This Laptop is an very solid machine. I say this because usually when I pick a laptop up first thing I notice is the need for power and a time delay to load the windows, its like you have to handle the laptop carefully just in fear of delaying the start up. This has been my experience of earlier laptops from Dell. This one was a big step up, I put the machine in front of me on a cushion for the first time and with a tap of the on switch windows was up and running, at this point I said wow. The build quality is A1 a great silver colour and very sleek buttons in a very sleek case that clicks ... more

The dell inspiron looks great, performs great and best of all it's a dell. Dell are no doubt the best when it comes to laptops and computers, the only bad thing I can think of about dell, is that you can only buy online. This can be a bit frustrating because when you want to get a laptop you want to see it before and try it before you buy. Also you don't want to wait a week or longer before it arrives so you can go on it. However it being a dell, you get great customer support, and you know its built to last. This inspiron 1720 looks fantastic. Basically it looks like any other dell inspiron ... more

I bought this laptop a few months ago because firstly, I wanted a full-size keyboard (being a touch typist), secondly I wanted a decent graphics card for gaming (comes with nVidia card) and thirdly, my laptop never travels so I wanted a large screen. A few months down the line and I am very happy with it! The gaming is absolutely great (and so is the touch-typing!). It is fantastic to have a large screen - in fact, it seems really weird if I revert to my small standby laptop now! Another plus point is that the 17 inch display gives crisp images and is really good for working with photos or ... more

I don't own one of these but my friend has just bought one and i've had a fair go on it. Plus i've watched him on it for hours so i thought i'd leave a review as no-one has yet. From my experience people like Dell because they produce value for money products to a high standard. Other people are put off because they are not a shop, but i know people who have had a couple of problems with dell and Dell have managed to sort out the problems no fuss. So i don't think this hsould put people off. The Laptop - This laptop has many great features. It's performance is fantastic and it does everything ... more

This was the notebook I chose before starting my first year at university and it has not disappointed. I chose this particular laptop because it was was reasonably priced and I trusted Dell products from my personal and friends' previous use. The screen is fairly large which conributes towards the ease of use of this particlular model. I have had it just under a year and I have experienced no problems whatsoever, I regularly browse the internet and have uploaded many photos but neither have slowed it down. Admitably I am not the most technically advanced person but I have found it so easy to ... more
