There's no denying this is a well-built laptop
But it's based on a smaller 13.3-inch design. Dell has simply made it larger to fit the stonking screen. Kind of like an awkward child
It means the shape and size looks odd in places. The keyboard l...
Keyboard flex
Not suited to gaming
Basic 1440 x 900 pixel native resolution
Low-end graphics chip. Low-res screen. Few multitouch apps
Odd texture on mouse trackpad
Limited hard drive options
Too expensive
Screen doesn't offer a 'Full HD' resolution
Disappointing and occasionally unresponsive touchscreen
Quad-core processing. Multitouch screen is an interesting twist. Three video-out options. Excellent battery life for a media center laptop. Configurable. Dual hard drive support. Great gaming scores. Superb user experience. Over 200 designs to choose from.
Very heavy for a 17-inch laptop.
The Dell Studio 17 (Multitouch) media center laptop is crammed with all the latest technologies, including a multitouch screen, an Intel quad core processor, and humongous battery that will give you over 4 hours of battery life....

Abstract: Although it lacks a Blu-ray drive, the rest of its feature set should satisfy most, and its performance is good as well. Movie lovers will most likely enjoy the excellent speakers that combine with its large display to make it a viable entertainment option in..
Plain, but quality design, Good workmanship, Good input devices, Numerous configuration alternatives, Efficient components, Great loudspeakers
Noisy load operating, Extreme heating under load, Very hot adapter, Average display, Quite heavy, Partly very expensive surcharge positions
Dell's Studio 1747 spoils its chance of a very good rating due to one or two severe faults. The only average display with its tight vertical viewing angles and the not very homogenous illumination but especially the unreasonably high operating temperature...
Plenty of connection ports, stellar speakers, comfortable keyboard,
Lacks a Bluray drive,
Dell Studio s1745-3691 is a great desktop replacement, the JBL 2.1 speakers give you a never before heard of speaker experience on a laptop. However, it lacks a Blu-ray drive. If you don’t care about the optical drive, then get this laptop. ...

Abstract: Before we look at its technical performance, we like to get a feel for each laptop, checking the case and finishing. Sometimes its easy to get seduced by promises of high speeds, but sooner or later, a faster model will arrive at the same p...
