The webcam has a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The signal strength of the router (Fritz!Box 7270) is reduced to 50%. That is sufficient for daily use but adaptors like the Centrino Advanced-N 6205 are better: At further distance (40 m) it still has two bars (in the Fujitsu P702). Outside the house it gets down to two bars (15 m) and at 40 meters, the 17R loses the router signal. How is the reception quality? With a distance of three to ten meters (upstairs), the reception is excellent.

In case of interfering wireless networks, you cannot switch to the 5 GHz band. Perhaps if the user had a Gigabit switch, then the 17R cannot deliver the supported performance.ĭell also uses the cheapest WLAN module available from Intel: the Centrino Wireless-N 2230 which only supports a single band (2.4 GHz).

Anyone who ever copied hundreds of GB from one PC to another via WLAN knows that. This is not supposed to be in a device in this era of high-speed data transfer. The RJ45-port is not the usual Gigabit adaptor (1,000 MBit) that is in use in most systems, but the Fast-Ethernet chip (Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller 10/100 MBit). The whole bottom panel has to be removed to get to the fan. Unfortunately, the WLAN module remains concealed. The hard drive (2.5-inch), RAM (two slots occupied, 2x 4 GB) and CMOS-battery are accessible. The device has a maintenance cover at the bottom. A similar appearance can be found on the HP Envy dv7-7200sg (matte aluminum surfaces, good stability). The selected mixture of materials is of adequate quality. All in all, the stability is very good for a heavy 17-inch device in this price range.

The base unit is very pressure resistant even from underneath and can only be slightly twisted. During opening the heavy cover hits a point at which no further motion is possible. Nevertheless the hinges have a very solid connection to the base unit. The hinges are firm but come with plastic covers. The cover has limited torsional resistance and can be bent when forced. This is seen especially with the large palm rest, which cannot be dented even slightly with substantial pressure. The cool surfaces are a significant design improvement, avoid fingerprints and enable very good stability. A good choice by Dell, even if the material has a negative impact on the weight (2.91 kg/6.41 lb.). Now a matte, sparkling blue anodized and brushed aluminum surface covers the display and the palm rest. Dell Inspiron 17R SE (i7, GT 650M), 800 EurosĬompared to the 2012 Inspiron 17R-SE-7720 (anodized aluminum) and the 2011 Inspiron 17R (N7110), both with replaceable display covers, the new Inspiron does not have such an exchangeable cover anymore.ASUS X75VD-TY205H (i5, GT 640M), 620 Euros (~$820), review Asus K75VJ (identical in construction).Packard Bell EasyNote LV44-HC-137GE (i5, GT 630M), 575 Euros.HP Envy dv7-7200sg (i5, GT 630M), 690 Euros (~$910), review premium edition (European market).We will need to see how the new Radeon HD 8730M compares to the offerings from Nvidia. The graphical options are the GT 650M, GT 640M (Kepler architecture), GT 630M and the AMD HD 7670M. There are a vast number of available configurations. The list of the competition in the 17-inch class with prices up to 800 Euros (~$1050) is very big. Does the customer have to fear performance disadvantages? Or is the frugal customer happy with the low energy consumption and long battery runtime? We are going to find out. Some manufactures quickly abandoned ultrabook standards in terms of size and weight.ĭell continues this evolution and now equips its 15- and 17-inch mainstream laptops exclusively with low-voltage processors (i3/i5/i7). Even a real gaming machine was pressed into thin aluminum ( Asus Zenbook UX51VZ with the GT 650M, 20 mm thick). Customers wanted big-screen gaming so the ultrabooks with 14 and 15-inch displays and dedicated graphics appeared. Īt first, there were simple 13-inch ultrabooks with integrated graphics.
