Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Dell Inspiron i1750-1840OBK 1750 17.3-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black) (Personal Computers)

I've only had this computer for four days, but so far I love it. I was mildly concerned about the setup, as I replaced a laptop on a wireless network, but it was super easy. I just followed the on screen instructions, and the computer was completely set up within half an hour. I love the big screen (upgraded from a 15 inch laptop.) Great price from Amazon, too, with superquick delivery.

I've had several hard drive issues and had to reformat it several times!! My laptop never left my home, not abused; there is NO reason this computer should have this many problems! I will never buy a Dell again!! I was hoping for a really good system, I paid $900.00 and was excited...what a major let down.

This review is from: Dell Inspiron i1750-1840OBK 1750 17.3-Inch Laptop (Obsidian Black) (Personal Computers)

I have owned this computer for just under 1 year now. It was purchased to replace a Desktop workstation and laptop I use to video edit, code webs, jam multimedia. The speed with 4GB ram and Win7 kicks butt! Way faster than any XP configuration or any Vista setup. 64bit Win7 has some issues with older software but some of that may be time to leave behind anyway...
Originally it had a problem with the headphone jack, a short or bad soldering so only the left channel output with headphones, etc. Called, had no problem getting the Warranty changed to MY NAME with proof of purchase from the last owner. They had me ship it back to the Depot in TX for repair.
The Box to return it came the next morning, I packed it up and shipped it to them, marking down that Hard Drive reformat was OK ( I had already made a backup of everything) if needed. I got the system back in about 7 days! I was really happy to have this awesome machine back in my hands. Well, my happiness was short lived as soon as I re-formated and re-installed my system (I was paranoid someone could have installed some crap while at the Depot) I plugged in my Headphone Jack and got the LEFT Channel on BOTH Left and Right side now! I was miffed then but decided the system was just too bad to the bone to send back for this problem. I bought a iMic USB unit and just went on with it.
Well, then came the New Year, and my Internal Wireless Adapter (Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN) began to act up. Since it worked SOME of the Time with one router and most of the time with another, I began replacing all of them. Using other computers with various Wireless adapters I ruled out the routers and pinpointed the Internal WiFi NIC in the 1750. At that point it finally quite working altogether so it was obvious the problem was hardware. Looked up the system on Dell.com support and found replacement parts. $35-$70 for a new one and the install looks really easy (for laptops this is not the norm!!) but I called them anyway to confirm.
Giving the Customer Support the Service Tag Number and Express Tag they told me I had another 4 months on the Warranty and they would fix it at no charge and also fix the headphone jack CORRECTLY this time. I said what the heck and again did a full backup and shipped it off. The Box was at my door the next day this time too.
It took about 11 days to get it back and this time they did WIPE OUT my system and RESTORE it. SO did I when I got it back! The Headphone Jack is working perfect and the Wireless Adapter is back to normal.
Why give this a 5 star rating when I had to have it repaired twice?
This Machine is SWEEEEET!! The keyboard response and feel is just perfect, the wrist rest and body feel like a BMW or Porsche style lines. The built in webcam is OUTSTANDING in any well lit room. The Screen is very nice and does movies or webpages better than they have ever been seen! The PENTIUM system never lags and I beat it pretty good. The wireless adapter is N/G/B and has GREAT range. The response and turnaround time for repair was very professional, easy to understand, surprisingly FAST.
I would recommend buying another Dell to ANYONE over a HP/Compaq.
