What's in a notebook ?
Nothing much to see, except some opening to allow upgrades....

These are profile of Dell Inspiron 1720 (upgraded to 2g ram, 17" display with 1920x1200 n cam)
One taken side-by-side to my desktop's display, Dell 24" Ultrasharp (relative sizing). The computer is rather (very!) large for a notebook, call it desktop replacement.

The top-panel exposed. got nothing to say here, there is a space and connector for something (top-right).
Love the keyboard, with separate numeric.

From underside, hmmm now I see that Dell's technician really in a hurry assemblying a PC. They missed a screw holding the hdd to the chasis (bottom right). Hell...the also (missed ??) the holding-panel for the second hdd. No choice then, have to buy the second hdd from them....haaaaah)

Top right, I know WLAN but WPAM FCM & WWAN FCM ??). Someone could shed a light here.

Middle-center, a very hi-tech cellophane-tape holding the battery down.
And the ram...no comment. Anyone, on the ram - quality ?

Yeah, suits the thread topic. Nice idea for showing-off (edu as well).

Bought exactly RM5915.00 (2007-09-23) with extra options :

Nvidia 8600M GT 256MB DDR2
9 cell battery
17" ultrashart with 1920x1200 display (a mistake, the font too small on native resolution, can enlarge though)
3 years warranty plus 1 year phone support
2g ram

else, standard
