Dell Inspiron 17 7773 review – a successor to the Inspiron 17 7779 with a brand new hardware… and price

Good build quality;Good input devices;High-quality IPS display – wide sRGB coverage, high contrast, bright;Long battery life

Limited I/O for a 17-inch device;Not the most practical 2-in-1 – hefty and big chassis, wobbly screen;Pricey;The screen uses aggressive PWM from 0 to 99% (our Health-Guard profile fixes that)
