Dell Inspiron E1705 PC Notebook Reviews

The Dell Inspiron E1705 PC Notebook is my son-in-law’s computer. I have used it enough to be able to review it. Not too long ago he bought me one similar but smaller which I will review

Why did Rob buy the E1705 Dual Powerhouse?

He chose this one because he is a gamer, loads lots of photos, graphics and DVDs. He bought it because he plays Poker as a serious hobby. This Next Generation of computers allows four poker games at a time which is not possible with my old Dell Inspiron 4100. The E in the name stands for entertainment.

The screen is massive coming in at 17- inched wide screen....

I own this laptop for a year  and is great, i used for video processing and for gaming, runs smoothly. The Nvidia 7900 GS card that my laptop has runs almost everything, and the big screen is very nice for those matters.

 It does have a couple of cons: Its very heavy, maybe to heavy for a "portable" device, the chipset only support up to 2 MB of RAM. last but not least the inspiron comes with integrated audio wich is not the best for audio/video processing. 

Dell is hands down the best computer maker ever! I have an HP and a Gateway also, and they don't even compare. First of all, dell has the best customer support. You don't have to wait for hours on end, and you can get help on anything. The computers are durable and awesome!

I have had my Dell Inspirion E1705 now for about 3 years. I absolutely love it! I decided to go with a 17" screen because my eyes tire easily and I just really wanted the bigger window for viewing ease. I also do some graphic work too so it helps that was as well.

The one thing I can say is it's a little on the heavier side but not too bad. It came loaded with Windows Vista as well. At first I was a little put off by that since I had just become accustomed to Windows XP and I am always a little resistant to change, especially to untried products just out on the market not to long. I can say that...

the quality of this dell laptop is great. it is easy to take around and is about the size of a regular laptop which makes easy to operate. I love all the componets and features that dell had to offer. I chose many products to fit my needs. I think that everyone should get one likfe this. Also the speed of logging on and off is very fast. I am able to take my laptop anywhere and still get reception so that i can use others wireless access. I have taken it with me on vacation and didnt think that it would work around the area that i was in.  The area that i was in was out in the middle of no where...

I love it!   This is my third Dell Inspiron laptop and every one gets better.  It is a 17" widescreen notebook and the first Inspiron to be released with the new Intel Core Duo processor.  They say the "e" in e1705 stands for "Entertainment", with various media features available, fast Core Duo processor, a generous amount of ports and the option for a high-end graphics card and this is a big plus.   As for construction ... it has magnesium alloy construction on the lid and bottom of the notebook for extra protection.  This means that the lid provides very good protection for the screen. ...

I bought this computer about 2.5 years ago and was very impressed at first. The first problem I had was with windows vista, I couldn't find headsets and microphones that were compatible. Every time you want to install something new, Vista asks you permission to allow it to install for what seems like half a dozen times. About a year after I bought this, the hard drive completely gave out. One morning I turned it on and the black startup screen came on and never went further than that. I had to pay for someone to wipe and reinstall everything. About six months ago my battery stopped charging. I...

Inpiron E1705 is really a great replacement of a desktop which yu have at your home or workplace. This computer with 17 inch screen, a fast processor, a graphic card,and a high ram (more than 2 GB) can be a great way to enjoy the games as well and believe me you will enjoy it speciially if you will have shiny screen. I bought this laptop 2 years back and till now I have that with me with zero probelms. Along with such a great laptop, the service from Dell is awesome where they are always readyto replace anything which stops working. In an all it is really a Great Great deal to buy this laptop and...
