Dell Inspiron i17RN-2929BK 17-Inch Laptop (Diamond Black)

I purchased this laptop as an extra computer in case something happened to my desktop. My husband has his own business so it is necessary to have a working computer at all times. This computer has a 17 inch screen and also a numerical key pad, unlike previous laptops. We are very pleased with the performance and also we love the ability to change the color. This is my 4th Dell computer and I have always been pleased with the quality and the technical support that we have used on several occasions.

Quite the step up from my old 2004 Dell Inspiron 15" that still works great...the chassis is just wearing out from everyday use. I have nothing but praise to give Dell. They make an affordable, quality product. This is the 4th Dell computer in my house...my second. I have and would recommend them over and over again to anyone who asks!

Buy Dell Inspiron i17RN-2929BK 17-Inch Laptop (Diamond Black) Now

I bought one at bestBuy. An glossy blue polished body wrapped an i3 processor, 4 GB memory and 500 GB 5400 rpm HDD.

Construction:

The body feels sturdy and light weight. There is very tiny flex on the keyboard and palm rests. Overall construction looks very good. At this price, there is no room for grumbling on this count.

Connectivity:

It comes with two USB 3.0 ports. It also has the standard HDMI, USB 2.0 and SD card reader ports.

Audio/Video:

The display is gorgeous and the audio, while not spectacular, is very good and is loud enough without the headphones. The web camera is also good for video chats.

Keyboard/Touchpad.

The touchpad is smooth and the sensitivity can be configured through the Windows Mobility center. The touchpad buttons though are really hard and clicking on the outer edges of these buttons will give you sore fingers. You have to press them around the middle or inner edge to be kinder to your fingers. The keyboard is good though I felt it could have been a touch softer to type.

Wi-Fi:

The wifi is pretty good and I did not have any issues using it.

Battery:

Battery life is about 3 hours on a charge with medium level of processing.

Performance:

The 2nd Gen Intel® Core(tm) i3-2350M processor provides higher performance than my previous laptop with i5-520M and it runs really cool.

Conclusion:

This laptop is sturdy and arrayed with the latest ports. I'd highly recommend it to everyone.

Im older so don't know and cant judge the bells and whistles of the product but it works well for me and its attractive looking. The only issue I had with it is that it came with lots of games on it (not my thing) and a 30 day free trial of McCaffey but I bought Norton already and so had to pay someone to get that stuff off my computer (told you Im a real basic user). Sometimes I have gliches and manage to muddle through and I don't understand how to find cookies and get rid of them. Then scan disk and defrag are difficult to find so any problems I had were not with the machine but the way the software was set up. The computer itself is great and now I don't have to drive my powerchair to the library to use a computer so I am very grateful its working well. I was concerned because it was a big buy for my budget.
