Dell Vostro 1700 User Review

 

Due to the nature of my work I move to different locations every few months so I have been using notebooks for most of my professional career. All models so far have been 14" or 15", however, this time I opted for 17". Though I move often, I do not...

Price (considerably cheaper than all competitors for a similar config) ; Most components are customizable ; Good performance, both in business applications and gaming ; Solid build

Long and unpredictable delivery times ; Very heavy and big, even for a 17" notebook ; Keyboard requires getting used to as it is different both from a desktop and from a typical 15" laptop ; Can get quite hot under a heavy load

I have not had to use Dell's customer support since receiving my notebook so I cannot comment on it, however, as mentioned before, contacting Dell during the ordering/delivery phase was a problematic experience

Dell Vostro 1700 laptop

 

Dell's Vostro line is aimed at business users but takes the same standard look as the consumer Inspiron line. However, there are differences, with the build quality being ramped up and, if you're willing to pay for it, extra services. The Dell Vostro...

Solid build quality, great spec for the price

Could be sluggish

The Dell Vostro 1700 is a great choice if you’re looking for a budget desktop replacement that you don’t need to be too careful with, as the build quality is tough and robust. It lacks true power but a CPU upgrade should solve that, making this the...

Not Far From Perfection

 

Excellent value for money.

Big if you plan on moving around alot, but what can you expect with a 17' laptop.

Tested

 

If there was anything I could do about the glare I would---

Good choice for desktop replacement and yet have some mobility. We are using it in an RV when we travel

Little heavy if you were going to travel with it flying.

WE'RE GOING MOBILE !!!!!

 

If you do not have a laptop, YOU NEED ONE OF THESE !!! Did not know what I was missing until I got my Vostro 1700. Thank you Dell for making the best.

The speed of this machine is beyond belief. I love being able to stay in contact with everyone all the time now. The graphics on this machine is totally awesome. The price is very comparable or better than most other machines out there, get one!

Because of it's size you might want to buy a backpack or carrying case (I did).

Great Laptop

 

This laptop is one of the most sleek looking laptops.

This is aimed at small business but cannot be docked.
