On the front, there is only one indicator LED which is lit when the battery is charging, amber when battery is low and is switches off when the computer is plugged in and the battery is fully charged, or when it is running on battery and the battery has more than 10% charge. The left side sports a Security cable slot, Power adapter port, HDMI port, Network port (RJ45), USB 2.0 port, USB 3.0 port and an audio jack. The screen operating angle is 135°, so it’s suitable even if your head position is at a significant distance above your desk. The viewing angle is 74 degrees, so it’s pretty convenient for video conversations, even if there are some friends around. The frame surrounding the screen is fairly thin and in its top center houses an HD camera (1280 x 720 pixels), capable of 30 fps video recording. The trackpad is quite large – around 84 cm2 (105 mm x 80 mm), which means that working with it is easy. There is also a backlight, so it’s easy to work with it in any ambient lighting. It’s an “Island Style” type and has a dedicated NumPad section with full-size keys. We can admire Inspiron 17 (5749) for its keyboard, which is very comfortable and takes advantage of the space provided by the 17-inch panel. The interior is built of black plastic, which collects fingerprints rather easily. The top lid is covered by brushed aluminum with the traditional round Dell logo placed in the center. Dell claims that 5749 can resist 110 G shocks, measured using a 2 ms half-sine pulse when the hard drive is in use. It will also survive twisting the base and lid more than 25,000 times or after 40,000 pushes of the multimedia buttons.ĭell Inspiron 17 (5749) can operate in temperatures ranging from 0☌ to 35☌, relative humidity (maximum) – 10% to 90% and vibrations of up to 0.66 GRMS. Inspiron 17 (5749) can survive short-term heat conditions of up to 65☌/149☏, opening and closing the lid 20,000 times, 10 million keystrokes of the most common keys and 1 million touchpad button clicks. Dell puts all of its notebooks to serious testing before mass production. The materials used are aluminum and plastic and that makes the model not only stylish, but pretty reliable too. Inspiron 17 has a sturdy construction which feels premium and elegant.
Five years ago, this would be normal, but today, given the fact that we’re talking about a notebook with a ULV processor, we’re not exactly happy. The model weighs 3285 grams (7.24 lbs) and its height is 29.6 mm (1.2”). Looking at the product photos, one could imagine that 5749 is thin and light and that’s why the notebook will surprise you when you take it out of its box for the first time. Inspiron 17 (5749) would have a great design if it weren’t for the bulky size.
