Dell 17'' Studio 17 Blue Laptop PC w/ Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T3400 & Windows 7 Tech Guarantee Upgrade

I resisted getting a laptop because I had no idea how convenient they are. I did my "homework" before buying and I am very happy with my Dell. The large screen is easy to view and clear indoors and outdoors. I especially like the backlit keys. The Vista program is a major pain!!! (I am looking forward to the upgrade to Microsoft 7) The battery lasts at least five hours on a charge. The unit is heavy to carry but is a a worthwhile trade-off for the larger screen size and the numeric keypad.

I bought this laptop for my son to go to college and he loves it. It was everything we have come to expect with Dell computers and a great deal for the level of computer you get. Our only problem was that one of the control buttons came off about a week after getting it. Since it is a seldom used button, it doesn't really matter anyway. It definately will get it's use until it is obsolete.

This is my first Dell and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect laptop. I'v had it almost a month and haven't had a single problem with it.

Would recommend it to anyone who asked what kind to get.

The laptop I purchased had everything I needed.

I love everything about my new Dell Studio laptop! Nothing bad to say about it except that it takes a long time to load when it falls asleep or after you turn it back on. Love the lighted keyboard! Helps see the keys much better in a room that doesn't have great lighting. So much space that I will have plenty of room to use it at college! Even the speakers are great to listen to my music on! Recommend this product to everyone! Worth the money compared to an Apple!

I have enjoyed my new computer. I haven't gotten used to the fan blowing all of the time, but it beats overheating. I would recommend buying on Walmart.com. They will stand behind the products that they sell.

I have had very good luck with dell products and recently upgraded from the inspirion 8200 i have been using for the last 6 years .This new studio series is an amazing machine and has been easy to use on every application i have tried in the last month. I would recommend this model for the novice user and more than even features to keep you from feeling outdated in the first year of ownership! great screen size 17" and clarity smooth operation and even thumb print scanner works well.
Good Value and ease of operation

I never owned a laptop, so it's taking me some time to get used to the the no-mouse concept. However, I have a wireless mouse, so if I get frustrated (particularly when playing a game), I just use the mouse and it's fine. I have yet to get a router for the laptop (not sure what's best for me), so I can't tell how the internet works. Pretty basic computer, not a lot of features - which is okay because too many things slow it down anyway. I do wish they had Microsoft Office though, since that's what my work computer is compatible with. Overall, decent computer. Plays games, dvds, and music just fine. Love the fingerprint id feature at logon. If you're just a basic internet, computer user like me, this is one for you.

I purchased this laptop because I thought that Dell computers were suppose to be good. It has a large screen and good processing speed and so forth. I've had this laptop for about a week now and I've already had problems!! Sometimes the IE stops responding for some unknown reason, which is no big deal and easily corrected. Well this moring the fingerprint scanner stopped working! It said no device was detected so I rebooted the laptop and I tried to fix it like it suggest by reinstalling the driver. No luck. So of course I had to contact Dell Tech Support. I got a very knowledgeable customer service tech that fiddled on my computer remotely for a good hour and a half and he could not fix the problem. Finally he stated that I had to restore the laptop to original factory setting and I would lose everything I had already installed on it and his supervisor would call me to check on the status of my laptop in about hour. Well I fixed everything, reinstalled everything but I have still not received the follow-up call back from Dell. Its been about 3 hours. This has been a pain and tedious process that I did not expect to do after only owning this laptop for a week! I should have purchased a MacBook!
