The WUXGA TrueLife (1920 x 1200-pixel resolution) display is absolutely beautiful. In other words, the Inspiron 1720 wasn't made for travel, and when you add the AC adapter to the mix, you're talking about ten pounds. When outfitted with the beefy nine-cell battery, this notebook weighs nine pounds and measures 15.5 x 11.5 x 1.7 inches. We loved the look and feel of our soft-touch Ruby Red model but were disappointed once we lifted the lid the interior is bland by comparison. This 17-inch sports rounded edges and a choice of eight colors: Jet Black, Alpine White, Espresso Brown, Ruby Red, Midnight Blue, Spring Green, Flamingo Pink, and Sunshine Yellow.
