  • Color options
  • Battery life of 2 hours
  • 4 minutes is acceptable
  • HDMI VGA 5 USB
  • Full keyboard including numeric keypad
  • This is a serious piece of kit if your looking to ditch your desktop PC. The 17-inch screen does the business and you also get a Blu-ray drive
  • So HD heaven awaits. It's certainly no slouch in the performance stakes either
  • As Intel's latest Core...

The editors didn't like

  • No eSATA
  • Heavy
  • Battery life of 2 hours
  • 4 minutes could be improved
  • 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

  • Hard-to-beat price. Gorgeous 17-inch widescreen. 4GB of memory. Five USB ports. HDMI and E-SATA ports. Full size numeric keypad. Soft mouse buttons.
  • Slight bend in the keyboard. Only 802.11g wireless.
  • The Dell Studio 1737 (s1737-USE0145) is a terrific 17-inch media center for those non-performance-seekers and value shoppers....

  • Inexpensive desktop replacement with touch-sensitive media controls and copious ports and connections; long battery life.
  • Low screen resolution; same basic components as models in Dells cheaper Inspiron line; lacks Bluetooth.
  • For a budget-priced 17-inch laptop, the Dell Studio S17-162B has many features of a more expensive system, but also a few notable omissions.

  • The price tag for this notebook (1270€) may look too high, but don’t forget about display that supports resolution up to 1920x1200 and its exceptional quality. Also with this model you get Radeon HD 3650 that can be used for playing most of new...

  • Abstract:  REVIEW Dell is not known as a premier product designer, but it does a decent job with the design of its ultraportable and mainstream laptops. Its 17-inch laptops, like the Inspiron 1720, are unflattering bulky 10-pound machines whose buyers are mainl...

  • Design of the case is user customisable, Robust, compact case, Userfriendly order of the interfaces, Gigabit LAN, optionally UMTS, Userfriendly input devices, Bright LED display with very good contrast, Many options for user customisation, Option for batt
  • Only glossy displays available, Moderate multimedia (3D) performance, Moderate sound output
  • In principal the Dell Studio 17 has the same advantages than the Studio 15. The 17 inch model basically differs by offering a bigger screen with higher resolution and therewith bigger desktop size, and by a keyboard with a separate number pad.The design o...

  • Extremely Affordable, Wide Range of Customization Options
  • Doesnt Support 802.11n Wireless Without Upgrade, Access Panel Exposes Too Many Internal Components, Wedge Design Too Bulky at Hinge
  • Dells Studio 17 laptop certainly provides a good level of value. It is one of the best price to performance desktop replacement notebooks on the market and has a wide range of options for customization. The problem is that the design of the case makes...

  • Beautiful design, Solid selection of available configurations, Reasonable battery life, Nice keyboard, touchpad and media buttons, Great component layout, Dell Dock is a nice feature, Good value for the price
  • No lugs/screw posts for VGA cable and no docking station connector, Allinone access cover on the bottom of the notebook is either great or frustrating, No option for better graphics than ATI Radeon HD 3650 at this time
  • All things said and done, the Dell Studio 17 is the most impressive 17-inch consumer notebook weve seen so far this year. The build quality, range of customizable options, expandability, style, and price make this an excellent choice if youre in the ...

  • Vibrant display with good viewing angles, Great performance, Intuitive on-screen dock, Discrete graphics
  • Polarizing, bulky design, Finicky volume controls
  • The Dell Studio 17 is one of two flagship models in the company’s new Studio line, a mid-range line positioned between the entry-level Inspiron and high-end XPS series. Studio is for people who want something more powerful than an Inspiron, but don&...

  • Fast overall performance, two internal hard drives, Blu-ray player, good quality 17in screen
  • Screen and bezel are too glossy, keyboard bounces when typing
  • Dell's Studio 17 1749 is a 17in notebook that can be used as a business laptop, gaming PC or even as a media centre. It provides good performance, plenty of hard drive space and even its battery life is acceptable considering the size of the notebook. A l...
