      Considering Dell no longer lists Quad Core i7 version of the Inspiron 17R on their site (while still offering the i3 and i5 version), this is a pretty good refurbished deal, especially if you don't care for the latest tech and just need a big, workable desktop replacement laptop.

      Considering this deal is cheaper than the listed price for the Core i3 Inspiron 17R on Dell, I'm not sure why anyone would buy the more expensive 17R.

        Available again! Cheapest we've ever seen a Dell Inspiron 17r laptop with 6 gigs of RAM by $20. Also includes a $25 gift card at Dell. Performance will be solid, screen size is huge, but lacks a discreet graphics card so not really gaming orientated. Deal ends today.

        • chenouFeb 09, 2012when the price was $899.99

          When I go to the dell website it says 1gb for the video card and it seems like there is no other option. The title says 2gb, is that just an error?

          It looks like dell changed the GPU options in this Inspiron 17R with i7 for some reason. I'll be honest that you should stay clear of this deal for now until the price drops near the $800 flat price point. The 2GB video card isn't the real problem since the performance difference is negligible for the GT 525M, but the price could be a bit better. You can set a "price drop email alert" below the "Get Deal" button to get automatically notified with any price changes.

          New lowest ever price on the Dell Inspiron 17R with high-end quad-core i7. You get a GT 525M GPU with 2GB of RAM, and we found this configure at $75 lower than a similar config on Dell's site. All around a good price for a desktop replacement i7 laptop.

          Solid price on the desktop replacement Dell Inspiron 17R 2nd Gen model, which comes with a quad-core i7, 8GB RAM, and a mid-range GT 525M with a whopping 2GB of video RAM. Comes with a Blu-ray drive which pairs nicely with the 1600 x 900 display (only thing we wish is for this Dell 17R lappy to be a full 1080p).

        Lowdown on the Inspiron 17R

        The new Dell Inspiron 17R series laptop offers some significant changes from its predecessor. Not only is the styling much more on par with its competitors, including a brushed metal finish, curved edges and a sleeker profile the 17R is upping its game in the world of computing where appearance is entering the market. The 17R also offers a significant value when you consider that a lot of laptop manufacturers consider any 17 inch laptop a “gaming” option where they usually tack on a large price premium simply because its a desktop replacing laptop.

        Dell generally releases coupons on the 17R ranging in $25 to $75 ranges, we haven't seen a coupon for the Inspiron 17R go beyond that level yet, but you should note that the coupons are also accompanied by various different ranges of "instant savings stack-ability." For example, one $25 coupon may stack with a $300 instant saving, while a $75 may stack only with a $200 instant saving amount. In this situation, the $25 code takes the cake.

        Every model comes with Intel’s latest i series processors. Both the i3 and i5 will offer a good level of performance for the average user. Interchangeable lids are a nice feature although quite the premium in price when on a budget. Premium upgrades like wireless video connectivity, Blu-Ray disk drive, and some modest graphics options make the 17R a fairly versatile option with a fair amount to offer.

        Graphics and Media Option

        Graphics options on the 17R are modest. The Geforce 525M should get you playing most games today with medium detail at 720p resolution which is perfectly acceptable if you don’t just have to have the best graphics. Black Ops for instance should be playable on high settings while Crysis 2 needs to be turned down to medium or even Low for best frame rates. When considering upgrading graphics always remember that it will hurt battery life over the integrated options.

        The Blu-ray drive is a nice option to see, but it is disappointing to not see a 1080p display as an option on this laptop. Build in HDMI makes it easy to play content on a larger screen with just one cable hookup, or even eliminate cables completely with the wireless video option. It is a disappointment to not see a 7200RPM hard drive option for the performance minded consumer, but we can live without it.

        Memory and Storage

        Every model comes with a good amount of RAM as well as storage, making even their base configurations still very solid choices. 300GB of storage goes a long ways unless you’re storing a lot of video content. 3GB of memory will also allow for some fairly respectable multitasking abilities. If you plan on running Windows Server or are constantly running a lot of background processes the 4GB or 6GB would be nice upgrades if the budget allows for it. 

        The Bottom Line

        At 7 pounds the 17R isn’t exactly a traveling laptop, but then again what 17 inch laptop is? Good aesthetics combined with a good range of multimedia and video options makes the 17R a great option for someone who would rather have a laptop instead of a desktop for the occasional travel or space savings, but can also easily offer a modest gaming laptop at a great price point. If you are looking at the 17R as a power user needing a true desktop replacement missing upgrades like the i7 processor and USB 3.0 will be missed, but are far from essential.
