Who needs a desktop
I've always loved Dell's quality, never had any issue with anything related to them, other than the unfair firing of the Dell Dude. But enough of that, lets talk about my new Inspiron. It's a heavy, 17' behhemoth, with a large 16gb of RAM and dual 265GB SSD/2TB HDD, enough storage to last me a while. The Full HD screen is crisp and bright enough for my needs. The aforementioned 16GB of RAM keeps everything running buttery smooth, even with multiple programs running. And since my main progs come off the SSD, thy're all nice and snappy. Fit and finish of the hardware is tight. Maybe a little too tight. M one complaint, if you want to call it that, is the bottom bezels are a bit tight up against the screen, causing some minor distortion, but only noticeable if I'm watching movies in letterbox. Anything other than that is cherry. It doesn't bother me, but nitpickers may get a little bent out of shape. Battery life is about 4-5 hours. Hey, what did you expect? It's a hungry beast. It'll run the course of a couple movies. Again, no complaints from me. And did i forget to mention it has a Radeon graphics card with 4GB discreet on board? Should def help with moderate gaming, though I game on my consoles exclusive-like. Your mileage with that will vary. All in all I'm happy. With all that, what else do I really need?

Excellent Laptop!
I purchased this laptop on 06/10/2018 and have been playing with it daily ever since. I've enjoyed my time exploring all that this machine has. It's been almost 9 years since my last computer/laptop purchase and I'm thoroughly impressed that it has everything I was looking for and then some...it's sleek, lightweight, love the 17.3" display, it has 16GB of Memory, 2TB Hard Drive +256 SSD, Win10, a DVD/CD Burner along with several other different ports (Note/most laptops don't have CD/DVD players anymore...for me that was a MUST have!). The Full HD display and AMD Radeon graphics are great for my gaming. It's Platinum Silver in color and it's a DELL. I especially liked the fact that when I took the laptop out of the box, I turned it on and the system talked me through the entire set up in a matter of minutes which was a nice surprise. I am very pleased with this purchase!

Great laptop for the money!
My old laptop died, so I spent a long time researching new ones. This Dell laptop had EVERYTHING I was looking for and then some. The only thing it didn't have that was on my list was a light showing when the Num Lock button is on like there is for the Caps Lock. WHY did anyone ever have the idea to remove that light? Without it, there's no way to know for sure if it's turned on or not! But otherwise, this laptop is perfect. It's super fast, loads multiple tabs well and quickly, and everything I've done with it so far has gone very smoothly. The fan can be a bit loud, especially when you're taxing it with a heavy workload. But that doesn't prevent it from keeping up. And a MAJOR PLUS is the light up keyboard! I'll never be without one again! And the BEST feature is that it STILL HAS A DVD player! All of my previous laptops have had one, and they come in very handy sometimes. I HIGHLY recommend this laptop! Love almost everything about it!

Dell Inspiron 17'3
Worked very well for the first 1 & 1/2 years or so. Keyboard began loosing 1/2 dozen or more key use. Had to buy bluetooth keyboard. Just recently the DVD drive broke. Will not eject. Had to buy a external DVD drive. I liked it for the storage which is great and for the DVD drive, which is almost impossible to find. Would not recommend unless it was expected to only last a few years. Otherwise it is great. I like the 17" screen, a little heavier but worth the weight when watching movies. Probably can't find this anyway.

I wanted a fast laptop, Windows 10, Large HD & DVD
The Dell Inspiron 5770 laptop has 1 17" screen as well as a back-lit keyboard. I haven't clocked it but it seems to be very fast. I very seldom use it with just the battery, so i can't speak to the battery life. It runs Adobe Photoshop 18 very well as well. Since it was not in stock I had to order it and have used it only a little more than a month...
