Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Inspiron 17.3" laptop's large screen size, good performance, and ease of use as significant advantages. Many appreciate the touchscreen functionality and ample RAM for multitasking. However, some find the laptop heavy and the limited number of USB ports inconvenient. A slow hard drive and the power button placement were also cited as potential drawbacks.

    Big screen, lack of power to use it.

    I got this because I had read that the Inspirons in this line were Wacom active pen compatible. That would have made a 17" touch screen amazing (very inexpensive Cintiq)! BUT, after I set it up, I realized they decided NOT to include ES support on the 17" model (though apparently it is supported on the 15" model). So that leaves this device underpowered for anything that would really make that size useful (editing programs etc) and way too bulky to make it useful as a tablet (you might as well hold a small tv on your lap). So I guess... meh. IMO Dell triaged all the parts out of this one that would have made it great.

    Love my new dell computer! It's a bit heavy but I wanted a larger screen so I'll take the weight over having a smaller screen. I like the lit up keyboard and the big touchpad. I was surprised to not have a DVD drive but was able to buy that separately. Great open-box purchase!

    I bought my Dell Inspiron 2-1 because I didn't want the typical laptop this one rotates 360° !! The resolution on this laptop is top notch , i7 processor The screen is bright but you won't see any glare . In my opinion I could not have bought a better laptop!!

    I am quite happy with my new laptop, it meets and exceeds my expectations. My only issue is with the mousepad, which in an effort to match the overall sleekness makes point and click a little difficult.

    Had a hard time deciding between the regular Dell laptop and the 2-in-1 because of the extra cost, but I am so glad I picked the 2-in-1. I use it in both modes, depending on what I'm working on.

    I love this Dell laptop. I take online classes for school and this laptop is perfect. It is easy to setup and easy to use. With the 17" screen I can view my whole workspace and have multiple windows open at once. Definitely recommend this product.

    Can handle games well and is great for watching movies. The one problem is that the computer heats up and you can feel it on the keyboard which makes me wonder how well it's cooling off.

    This laptop is good, but the hard drive speed is slow! After replacing the hard drive with a solid state drive, my laptop got much faster and much better. Everything has improved!

    This computer has answered all my computing needs. No issues yet. Had to rethink the program to 10. It took a few days to get use to it but i am steam rolling now. The 17" screen is perfect for my autocad needs. So far it is great

    I'm just getting started with my new laptop purchased for home use. The users age range from 13 to 51. I've set up user IDs for everyone and we are connected to our wireless router and have started to load applications.

    I got this laptop for my daughter who is just starting college and I am very jealous of her. The hardware for the price made it worth it. Plus I love Best Buy's Warranty plan so that made it an easy choice to buy.

    I bought this to replace a 5 year old laptop that was not very fast and had very little memory. This computer is very fast and has all the speed and memory I could ever use. I would recommend this to most people.

    This laptop was a great purchase! Can be used as a traditional laptop or as a tablet. The large size is great for movies and for those of us with "older" eyes! Lots of memory and speed, Worth the money.
