    Hi all,

    I am strongly considering this laptop (exact specs: Den bärbara datorn Inspiron 17 i 5000-serien finns med Full HD-pekskärm | Dell Sverige) and would love to hear what you think. The reviews on the Dell site are pretty mixed but notebookcheck seems to think it's an okay machine so I'd really appreciate hearing what you think.

    The other issue is that for some reason warranty upgrades aren't there as a configurable option for the specific machine I am looking at. Dell is not that big in Sweden and has NO sales support so there is no one I can speak to. I was told by a Dell rep in another country that it should be possible to buy a 3 year next day warranty after purchasing the laptop and getting a product ID but he could not promise me that and I wanted to know what you think since there is no one working for Dell Sweden that I can ask (how crazy is that?!).

    IMP

    The touchpad on this laptop is terrible, by far and away the worst I have ever used. Don't get it unless you plan on using a separate mouse 100% of the time.
