(More customer reviews)I have to type fast... it blue screened while I was typing this review! Maybe it knows I'm talking about it! LOL Seriously, I've had issues since day one... and the blue screen is a daily occurance. I've spoken with Dell support over 40 times, put in a new mother board, lost all my data seven times now, and had to reinstall a total of nine times. I've been promised a call back from a Dell rep 28 times (I started keeping track when it went from ridiculous to just plain comical)... number of callbacks?? Zero. They won't take the computer back and I was told by Dell that they have had issues with Vista that has caused some "minor" trouble. Would you call the above "minor"?? Seriously though, please, please, PLEASE take this review to heart. I've had this computer for a little over a year now and have never experienced such a nightmare. I'm not dramatic, or easily ticked off, and tend to take things in stride. I am to the point now where I look forward to the day I can take a sledge hammer to this one and then send it back. The evil must be returned to it's Maker! LOL Ok... no more jokes. My old computer was a Sony Vaio that I gave to my mother. It's eight years old, she uses it daily, and it's crashed, oh, maybeee.... well, it never has. I'm absolutely disgusted with Dell... I have a friend who bought four computers for her kids... she bought the exact model I have and it's two months old and doing the same thing. In addition, I bought a Dell flat screen TV (30 inch) and have to turn it off and on seven to eight times just to get the picture to come up. Dell makes a good doorstop and paperweight, if you are looking for more than that, prepare to get mad!

As one of the first of the mainstream computer manufacturers to develop a laptop around the new Intel Core Duo processor, Dell has much riding on the success of the new Inspiron 1720. The 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor will either sink or swim in Dell's 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. Yet having said that, it is easy to think that the Inspiron's sole point of interest is the aforementioned CPU. You see, this is Dell's attempt at an all-in-one laptop: a workhorse that sits as comfortably in office attire as it does in casuals. With fast-access email buttons, ample memory and a weight of 3.6kg, it's a suitable office-based and on-the-go machine. Yet with Media Center bundled in, to give the control buttons at the foot of the casing something to do, and a 17in widescreen display, the Inspiron seems built for handling movies as comfortably as Excel spreadsheets. Visually, the arctic silver and black casing is an interesting reworking from Dell. The colour scheme and layout of the keyboard and tracker pad hint at a classiness that some might dismiss as tacky trend-chasing. But it actually works rather well, giving the screen a comfortable border in gentle silver rather than harsh black.
