Dell Inspiron i17R-1316sLV 17-Inch Laptop Review

First off, yes...this is a Windows 8 laptop. Don't let that deter you from purchasing this brilliant laptop. Windows 8 DOES take some getting used to, but what new thing in life doesn't? Besides there is a very simple way get away from the tiled "Metro" look and revert back to the old desktop, it's built INTO Windows 8. I found it tons of fun exploring the new OS and the different apps for it. True, the store is pretty bare compared to what Apple and Google offer, but what is there is pretty good for starters. Now, onto Dell's great bit of machinery and also to let you in on a little secret...this laptop and it's $800 older brother have "pretty much" the same processor regardless of the i5 and i7 names and the $200 difference. They are both DUAL CORE at heart. Period. I've done my research and ALMOST bought the i7 version thinking it was natively a quad-core chip....nope. I looked up both processor names at Intel's websites and the core specs both show they are dual-core, with the ablility to overclock themselves(a power boost). The thing is, they can work as a quad core chip due to Dual Threading(able to handle 4 instructions at once as opposed to just 2). The difference really comes in the RAM, with the i5 laptop having 6GB and the i7 having 8GB. Other than that, you can save $200. They have the same USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, same DVD +/- RW drive, same 1TB hard drive, same screen resolution of 1600x900. If anything, the colors offered are different. Now, onto the laptop. If you're looking for a machine that can handle the lightwork of everyday activities or some more higher end things like HD video editing, then this is what you want. Netflix(a Windows 8 app) and all other sort of media look fantastic on it's beautiful 17" , 16:9 screen. Gotta love the extra keyboard real estate with it's separate number pad. Keyboard feedback is fantastic and very responsive, as is the the touchpad. Start up and shutdown are also substantially quicker compared to all the Windows 7 laptops in this category(obviously disregarding the Ultrabooks). True, this isn't as mobile as your standard 13" laptop, but once you open this thing up and power it on...you won't care. I highly recommend this laptop if you want a reliable machine that can take the lower to higher end of your computing needs. Lastly, no, this is NOT a good choice if you are looking to game on this with settings on HIGH and things turned up to 11 ,as the graphics card...just isn't up to par. It can handle things decently on low to mid level, but look elsewhere if you want some serious gaming and unleashing the games' full potential. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have ANY questions on a topic that I did or didn't answer and I'll be happy to help. Thanks again!
