Dell Inspiron E1705 Review Quotes

Dell Inspiron E1705 review from PC Magazine
Dell is usually far ahead of the curve when it comes to integrating the newest technology at reasonable prices—and this time around is no different. The Dell Inspiron E1705 multimedia laptop upgrades the Inspiron 9300 with a new Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology and a lot of other fine features. Though its focus (both in components and performance) is entertainment, the E1705 is the perfect addition to the digital home, even for gaming.

The e1705 does a great job of carrying on everything that was good about the Inspiron 9300 and adding some serious performance enhancements to the Inspiron 17-inch line of notebooks. The speed boost from the Core Duo processor is proving rather significant. Major kudos to Dell for offering a high-end graphics card option in this size notebook, something their top competitor HP simply doesn’t offer in the dv8000z 17″ notebook. Dell has always been great at providing the latest technology at an enticing price. With the e1705 they have done this again and thus provide probably the best price to feature ratio 17-inch screen notebook on the market.
