Been using my new inspiron e1705 for a while now and i thought id share my thoughts. I configured it at exactly $3001.00 [includes 2, 4 year warranties], but i found a coupon that took $634 off the price....good deal imo.
specs:
Better start with the bad news....things i dont like:
--Lack of a mouse nub. Call me crazy but i prefer it over the touchpad. No that big of a deal because i use a mouse anyways.
--Large. This definitly isnt for someone who needs a laptop for extensive travelling.
--Bottom gets warm, especially around the RAM. This isnt uncommon for most laptops though
--Costly [but worth it]
Things I like:
--Screen. Very large, allows for a lot of work space. Glossy coating makes picture crystal clear too.
--Power. This thing plays all of my games [bf2, hl2, fear] on max at native res....averaging 60fps.
--Style. I think this laptop has a good design, the keyboard is layed out well, and it looks good on the exterior.
--Worked out of the box. No problems at all, just had to remove some bloatware and off she goes. Internal wireless was very easy to set up as well.
Questions? comments? feel free to ask em here!
