Dell 1745 Studio I've had my Dell since I started my PGCE in September 2009. My older laptop was unreliable - the power cable always falling out the back and generally being a pain so I decided to shop around and went for a Dell. I think what drew me to Dell was the customisable features...despite not choosing any I felt that the process via the website was simple and straightforward allowing me to add or remove options and it felt more 'custom' than other laptops. ***Features*** Manufacturer : Dell Model: Studio 1745 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6600 @ 2.20GHz Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB System ...  Read the complete review

My Dell Studio 1720 is a Refurbished unit purchased from PC World. Black and Silver casing, Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2390 @ 1.86GHz, 1867 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s), OS is Microsoft® Windows VistaTM Home Premium. It cost only £399 which is a real bargain price for a very decent piece of kit. Due to bitter past personal experiences I normally avoid any contact with DSG but in this instance I take my hat off to them and would definitely consider PC World again. Although refurbished, the unit was as new and in perfect physical condition and I was well pleased. I use laptops for work and leisure and this in the main is a pleasure to use. ...  Read the complete review

I bought a new Studio 17 in January before they introduced the new i7/i5 processors, so got an almost fully upgraded one: Windows 7 6GB DDR3 RAM Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz processors 2x 7200 rpm 500GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 I use this laptop as a complete replacement and substitute for a desktop PC. As I had customised it, it took around a month and a half to arrive, but I had ordered before Christmas so there would have been an understandable backlog. If you are buying this product for someone as a gift and are customising it, I would either order it well in advance or tell them you will buy it on the day and order it with them ...  Read the complete review

I've had the device around 5 months now and all in all I couldn't be happier with this laptop. Prior to this I had always owned and built my own desk top PCs. However, I decided I needed a small device for when I didn't want to switch on the PC and when I wanted to be more mobile. I was never a fan of Dell personally and I did a lot of research to find the best laptop for me. Much to my surprise this Dell was not only great value for money with a special offer on at the time but also really quite good. It comes with Windows 7, which is the standard these days as XP is no longer produced and Vista was awful especially on laptops. I have turned ...  Read the complete review

I've had this Laptop for a year now, it has Been Fantastic. The 17" Screen is perfect for watching DVD's and for using the internet. I purchased an upgraded model with 3 GB of ram and an improved processer. I have had no faults with this product; it has been the perfect choice of laptop for my studies at university.
