The Dell Inspiron e1705 is a 17″ widescreen notebook and the first Inspiron to be released with the new Intel Core Duo processor. The “e” in e1705 stands for “Entertainment”, with various media features available, fast Core Duo processor, a generous amount of ports and the option for a high-end graphics card in the form of the nVidia Go 7800 the e1705 certainly can be a lot of fun.

An important note on the e1705 is the fact that the Dell Inspiron 9400 sold via the Dell Business site is the same notebook as the e1705 offered through the Dell Home online store. The only difference is that the Dell e1705 offers Windows Media Center Edition as an OS, along with an external USB TV Tuner option. Prices and offers may vary between each Dell online purchase channel, so you’d be wise to configure and price similar notebooks on each site to see what the better deal is at the time you order.
That note aside, let’s focus on the Dell e1705 under review, the specs for the notebook in hand are the following:
