The Dell Inspiron 17R is a 17-inch screen affordable laptop. The Inspiron 17R features the latest Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processors, so even though the Inspiron 17R is a budget laptop it gives you top performance. The overall design of the Inspiron 17R is more curvy than previous Inspiron 17 models and features a “forward-hinge” design similar to the Dell Adamo. The lids are available in four glossy colors including Mars Black, Tomato Red, Peacock Blue and Lotus Pink. Dell is claiming the Inspiron 17R series is not only attractive but also built to last. The palm rests feature a smudge resistant design and the frame of the laptop has been made stiffer to provide a more solid and quality feel.
