Good Laptop June 29, 2010 R. Brown (Denver, CO USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a huge laptop... But, you know that since it's a 17" laptop. It's quick... pretty quiet. And I also use this as a home multimedia computer. So, I'm often plugging it in to my TV via the HDMI connection. It has no problem enabling and disabling the dual monitor mode when plugged in and unplugged.
The only issue that I have is that it doesn't seem to like to wake up from hibernate. So, I just don't ever hibernate it. Not a big deal for me anyway. And, in my experience with computers, hibernate is a hit and miss thing anyway.
Better than I expected! June 12, 2010 R. Lowe (Des Moines, IA USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
After reading some of the other reviews, I thought twice about buying this computer. However, I have had no problems with it at all. I followed the instructions for setting up the system and the operating system loads very quickly. Setting up the wireless internet connection was very simple. It detected the router and I was online in a few minutes. The screen is very clear and movies look very good, however the sound coming out of the built in speakers is not as good as I expected.
Software unstable and unsupported April 25, 2010 David Ellis (Natick, MA (USA)) 21 out of 22 found this review helpful
I purchased an Inspiron 1764 laptop primarily because the combination of specs, features and price was unbeatable.
The system began to malfunction shortly after I installed basic security and office software. It would not connect to my HP printer. There were local network and driver errors, along with frequent hangs, bluescreen crashes and other problems. Dell tech support blamed me for "corrupting" their operating system and said I would have to pay extra for software service, since their "limited" warranty covers only hardware. I restored the machine to factory settings, only to see the problems reappear. Despite my extensive experience as a computer professional, I was unable to fix the software problems. Internet research showed I was not alone.
These issues appear to be specific to Dell systems, since I have another vendor's laptop also running Windows 7 and the identical application software, with no problems whatsoever. I have been a loyal Dell customer for twelve years, but their consumer unfriendly attitude and lack of proper support left me no choice but to return the laptop for a refund. Readers are advised to think long and hard before choosing Dell.

Great desktop replacement! April 17, 2010 Jon D. Davenport 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Purchased this as our first laptop. It is great! Nearly full size keyboard and the number pad is a great plus. It is large so we will probably not travel with it very much but obviously could if we needed to take it with us. Screen size was the driving reason for making this purchase because the larger size makes viewing very easy as our eyes are not as good as they once were.
