      The 17-inch Dell Inspiron 17R with a Core i7 processor, 8GB RAM, and GeForce GT 630M graphics is down to $670 with free shipping on eBay. That's a new low by $30. Elsewhere you're looking at an $800+ price tag.

      One of the cheapest 17-inch laptops out there with a Core i7 processor and discrete graphics is this Dell Inspiron 17r. Today's $414 coupon code drops it to $700 - a new low by $50. The GPU is a bit dated so I'd recommend something higher end for gaming. Still, this should be able to handle 2011 games without a problem.

      Lowest price yet on a 17.3-inch Dell 17R laptop with Quad Core i7, discrete GPU, and 1080p display. Cheapest ever by $100 and at least $50 less than the competition.

      Inspiron 17R with Ivy Bridge i7 is now $50 cheaper thanks to a found coupon that uh, well, takes $50 off the already discounted price from yesterday. This fully loaded 17R comes with 1080p display, Kepler GT 650M from nVidia and Photoshop 9 Elements because its nice to have legal software once in awhile. /notapirate

        The Dell Inspiron 17 with Ivy Bridge Core i3 is at it's lowest price ever by $50 this week at Dell. If you're looking for a 'better than basic' PC with a large 17.3-inch display this is a good buy.

        Dear Mike Your the first site Ive found during months of looking for 17' laptops giving simple information on your product uses so idiots like me who have no background in computers can understand. What sets you apart from all other to date are your explainations of the laptop but more importantly the apps inside -graphics card - cpu - etc. and their uses under different uses, Gameing, multitasking...and what is best. I am understanding a little better. Thanks Please continue the excellent informative work. Gary

          Looking for cheap sub-$1,000 gaming laptop? I'd probably recommend a 15.6-inch Lenovo Y500, but if you want a larger 17.3-inch screen this Dell Inspiron will do. It sports a high end Core i7 processor, 8GB RAM, and good-for-gaming GeForce GT 650M graphics at $750 on eBay Deals. It's a refurbished unit but in new condition runs around $1,000.

              Lowdown on the Inspiron 17R

              The new Dell Inspiron 17R series laptop offers some significant changes from its predecessor. Not only is the styling much more on par with its competitors, including a brushed metal finish, curved edges and a sleeker profile the 17R is upping its game in the world of computing where appearance is entering the market. The 17R also offers a significant value when you consider that a lot of laptop manufacturers consider any 17 inch laptop a “gaming” option where they usually tack on a large price premium simply because its a desktop replacing laptop.

              Dell generally releases coupons on the 17R ranging in $25 to $75 ranges, we haven't seen a coupon for the Inspiron 17R go beyond that level yet, but you should note that the coupons are also accompanied by various different ranges of "instant savings stack-ability." For example, one $25 coupon may stack with a $300 instant saving, while a $75 may stack only with a $200 instant saving amount. In this situation, the $25 code takes the cake.

              Every model comes with Intel’s latest i series processors. Both the i3 and i5 will offer a good level of performance for the average user. Interchangeable lids are a nice feature although quite the premium in price when on a budget. Premium upgrades like wireless video connectivity, Blu-Ray disk drive, and some modest graphics options make the 17R a fairly versatile option with a fair amount to offer.

              Graphics and Media Option

              Graphics options on the 17R are modest. The Geforce 525M should get you playing most games today with medium detail at 720p resolution which is perfectly acceptable if you don’t just have to have the best graphics. Black Ops for instance should be playable on high settings while Crysis 2 needs to be turned down to medium or even Low for best frame rates. When considering upgrading graphics always remember that it will hurt battery life over the integrated options.

              The Blu-ray drive is a nice option to see, but it is disappointing to not see a 1080p display as an option on this laptop. Build in HDMI makes it easy to play content on a larger screen with just one cable hookup, or even eliminate cables completely with the wireless video option. It is a disappointment to not see a 7200RPM hard drive option for the performance minded consumer, but we can live without it.

              Memory and Storage

              Every model comes with a good amount of RAM as well as storage, making even their base configurations still very solid choices. 300GB of storage goes a long ways unless you’re storing a lot of video content. 3GB of memory will also allow for some fairly respectable multitasking abilities. If you plan on running Windows Server or are constantly running a lot of background processes the 4GB or 6GB would be nice upgrades if the budget allows for it. 

              The Bottom Line

              At 7 pounds the 17R isn’t exactly a traveling laptop, but then again what 17 inch laptop is? Good aesthetics combined with a good range of multimedia and video options makes the 17R a great option for someone who would rather have a laptop instead of a desktop for the occasional travel or space savings, but can also easily offer a modest gaming laptop at a great price point. If you are looking at the 17R as a power user needing a true desktop replacement missing upgrades like the i7 processor and USB 3.0 will be missed, but are far from essential.
