Dell Inspiron 1721 Laptop Reviews

I bought the Dell Inspirion 1721very excited about transitioning to a laptop from a desktop, and the size of this one (17") makes that transition very easy. I'm not a huge fan of Vista, but I can deal. It runs pretty fast and doesn't give me too many problems or hangups.

The problem is really with Dell's shoddy workmanship. In the first 6 months, Dell had to replace my hard drive three times. This is a huge inconvenience, obviously, and each time I had to make the switch I lost all of the files and information that was stored on the hard drive. Then, my keyboard started acting weird. I would press...

I've owned a couple PCs and used many PCs and laptops at work, and this is my first home-owned laptop.  I love this laptop!

Mine is the pink variety, and I love the color and the finish - it's scratch and stain resistant and keeps its beauty intact.  I bought it shortly after this model was introduced, and have been thrilled with it the whole 1.5 years I've had it so far.  The keyboard/mousepad combination are comfortable to use, the hinge is quite sturdy, and the 17-inch screen is awesome!  Overall its performance has been excellent (fast, responsive), and I have no complaints there at all....

This Dell Inspiron 17 Laptop is a good machine but needs more hard drive and more ram in order to be great. I have found that I am always running out of hard drive room. I like to have a lot of programs open and running at the same time and am switching between them which sometimes causes problems and the machine will run very slowly or in the worst case stop completely. This has happened a number of times in the last 6 months. I am hoping that the new Windows 7 will fix this problem as I have been told that it takes less memory to operate it. Basically the Dell Inspiron 17 is a great machine but...

I have ablolutly fallen in love with my inspiron 1721. It has so many features. One of my favorites is the wireless that is built right inside. Another is that I do so much work for my Tupperware business on this computer that the side number pad is very helpful. Anytime I have hed a problem which has not been much other than me not understanding much about computer stuff, I have just called dell and they have been nice enough to walk me through anything I have needed. even if I has other questions that weren't related to what I called for they were very helpful. The wide 17 inch screen on this...

I love Dell products.  i have been a Dell user for more than I would like to admit.  Laptop is fast, cool, and a great value.  I have bought several Dell PC's in the past and I am completely and totally thrilled with my new laptop.  The only down side is that they used DHL to ship it.  DHL told me that they would arrive before noon.  I waited til 12:15 and no driver.  I will continue by Dell products for as long as they are around.  YOU'RE getting a Dell dude.  We love it and recommend it to anyone that will listen. 

This Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop computer has all of my computer using needs all in one. I have owned it now for about a year and never have had any problems with it.

This particular laptop is a "entertainment" computer, as the 17" monitor is perfect for movie viewing, television viewing (when I use the TV connector components included with the purchase), and music/photo viewing and editing.

I have been very satisfied with it's performance and know that I would definately upgrade my Dell laptop to a newer version when the time is right!

I could almost love my computer, but I have a few problems with it:
1. It's a wee-bit heavy
2. The backspace key popped off
3. My DVDs don't have sound when I put them in
4. Sometimes the programs don't function properly

But other than that I love it!  I have not had a problem with Vista, it has so many functions it's unreal (!), perfect for school and a home business, and it's a pretty color!  Just wish it didn't need to have so many htings fixed after only having it for 3 months.
