Dell Inspiron e1705 with Core 2 Duo Review

I’m satisfied to report that the E1705 has met my expectations, offering fantastic performance at a great price. It doesn’t have the keyboard problems of my HP, and has a better graphics card and processor. On the downside though, the keyboard lacks a numberpad, and the computer runs very hot on stock settings.
