If you're hankering for a 17in notebook, it might be worth taking a look at Dell's latest.
The Inspiron 17, now available in the UK following a US launch earlier this month, features a 17.3in TFT display that offers a decent 1,600x900 resolution.
Dell's base configuration - priced at just £369 - features a 2.2GHz Intel Celeron processor, Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics, 1GB of RAM and 160GB of storage.
Those in need of a little more grunt can start with a £599 system that ups the ante with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM, 500GB of storage and a 256MB discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics card.
A six-cell battery is included as standard, as is Wireless G connectivity and a 1.3 megapixel webcam. A nine-cell battery, Wireless N connectivity, Bluetooth, and a Blu-ray optical drive are all available as extras, and Dell expects to offer an optional Full-HD 1080p display in October. No mention of any SSD upgrades yet, though. Still, not a bad asking price for a big-screen notebook, we reckon.
