Beautiful aluminized keyboard, Clean deck and palmrest area, 17 inch screen, numeric keypad, full sized keyboard, webcam, whats not to love here? The 1720 is loaded. Mind you I can only comment on the Intel model, but thats because I don't think any laptop should be used for gaming and Nvidia BGA chips stink. This is a desktop replacement PC, but it's not too heavy to count as a proper laptop either. And with dual hard drive capability there really is no limit on how much data it will store. This is one quick and responsive PC and upgrades and repairs are a breeze.
This has been a great computer. I have bought 2 now. One for me and one for my wife. They may be a little heaver because they are metal instead of all plastic like most of the others. I just upgraded both up to windows 7 and they work great with the upgrade. I also like having the numbers keyboard. It also has 5 USB ports which can come in handy for the cooler I use, the external hard drive and still can plug a jump drive when I need to. The buttons on the front also come in handy for volume control or playing a video.
It's like having a desktop PC that doesn't tie you to a desk -you can use it anywhere. I've had one I've used at home daily for 8 years and when I saw this for less than $150. I decided I couldn't afford to be without a backup considering the accumulated hours and wear on mine. I own 3 other computers not to mention a new one at work every 3 years but I like the Dell Inspiron 1720's the best.
Well worth the money. I give it four stars

I bought this from a one time user, (who upgraded) with all the disk and software. Including a Bag and 90 volt AC adaptor. I upgraded it to Windows 8 64bit a 1 TB hard drive. 4GB of RAM. This is the best Duo Core that I ever had. The video card updated itself, without my help at all. I love this machine.
