Most contenders offer a minimum of a second USB 3.0 port.
The Inspiron 15-5547 was not exactly a world champion in interface diversity, and its big brother that we are now testing tops that once more: Only one USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports in a 17-inch casing is clearly too little. However, both the more expensive Inspiron 17-7737 and the Aspire E1-772G weigh just as much. Nevertheless, Dell's Inspiron 17-5748 is still somewhat thinner than many non-touch competitors, such as Asus' X750LN (31.25 millimeters) or Acer's Aspire E1-772G (34.6 millimeters).ĭell's Inspiron 17-5748 is not a lightweight, with over 3 kilograms. We measured a total height of 30 millimeters Dell states a height of 25.4 millimeters without the touchscreen. The display lid of our model is very bulky due to the installed touchscreen, and the chassis' height has also increased considerably because of the touch-sensitive screen. The casing feels more solid than that of the Inspiron 15-5547 and is also a bit stiffer. The Inspiron 17-5748 is adorned by a narrow, silver-colored plastic rim on the lid's upper edge as a little distinguishing feature, and it sets a small highlight to the otherwise brushed aluminum.Īgain, we very much liked the design a restrained, yet very stylish casing made of plain black and only matte plastic is found even inside. The chassis is quite similar with that of the Inspiron 15-5547, apart from its size. Unlike the completely metal chassis of the former, which even features an elegant finish, only the lid of the Inspiron 17-5748's is aluminum. In contrast to the Inspiron 17-7737, compromises have to be made right from the outset. Is spending a few hundred Euros more worthwhile, or is being a bit stingy justified? A comparison with its premium brother Inspiron 17-7737 would also be interesting. It finds contenders, for example, in Acer's Aspire E1-772G, Wortmann's Terra Mobile 1749, Medion's Akoya P7631T, Asus' X750LN, HP's Pavilion 17, Toshiba's Satellite C75-A-13W, or Lenovo's IdeaPad Z710 and G710 laptops.
The buyer has to be satisfied with the processor-integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400.ĭell's Inspiron 17-5748 is naturally not the only 17-inch multimedia laptop in this price range. Unlike the Inspiron 15-5547, no dedicated graphics cards are currently available for the 17-inch models of the Inspiron 5000 line. Our Inspiron 17-5748 test configuration features a touchscreen, is powered by Intel's Core i7-4510U, and it has 1 TB storage. We recently tested the smaller Inspiron 15-5547 from the same range, and our verdict was good with minor drawbacks. Our present review sample, Dell's Inspiron 17-5748, is a model from the 5000 line, i.e. However, there are new models from the entry-level (3000 line), mid-range (5000 line), and models on the boundary to the premium range (7000 line). The Inspiron 17R-5737 that we tested in January is now old-hat and no longer available in Dell's shop. For the original German review, see here.ĭell regularly refreshes its multimedia laptops.
