I buy these for work use. Really. Why? Because at this price, they're close to disposable. With a Core i5 or i7, these are as fast as their "business class" peers, at a fraction of the cost. Sure, they're less solid feeling than some of the business class systems, but again, so what? Build strength does not seem to have any relation to the extent of punishment users give them, and these are tough enough (I say this after deploying something like 18 of them). My company has a laptop culture, both in an effort to encourage users to take their systems to meetings, etc. as well as to mitigate the frequent power outages in our building. Our regular users (not "power users" or developers, etc.) get these and external monitors which are nicely driven with the HDMI port. It would be nice if Dell gave them Gigabit Ethernet, but alas, they are 100MBps. Again, it's serviceable and no one has expressed any dissatisfaction with them. Go aheadpoint ant laugh at me, but my amortized costs are exceptional.
The 17 inch screen is a great size and the picture is clear as a bell! I use it for business and rate it 5 stars. It does not get hot when in use...the quiet fan comes on as needed. This laptop has a lot of memory and I recommend it highly. The battery life could be better but other than that I like it very much !
