Product Description

 
The 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor will either sink or swim in Dells mainstream portables depending upon its reception here. Matched with 4GB of PC2-5300 DDR2 that promises to run even the thirstiest applications with aplomb, the major yardstick is not whether Core 2 Duo can keep pace with the Pentium M (Dothan), but whether it can perform without reducing battery life to minutes rather than hours.

Product Review of the Dell Inspiron 1720 wide screen laptop.
5/5 stars
I purchased the Dell Inspiron 1720 wide screen laptop earlier this year as a laptop for work and home use. The laptop has traveled with me many times for work and has been fabulous for trade show demonstrations and meeting presentations. For home use it has been easy to quickly hook into my home internet/network via a wireless connection. I have had no problems with using this laptop and have actually found it more sturdy than my previous Dell laptop. Pros: Wide Screen, Full Size keyboard, Easy Connectivity Cons: Weight

It's the best note book out there, but does it compare to my older Inspiron? Sadly, no.
