About - Dell Inspiron i17R-1316SLV

The Dell Inspiron i17R-1316SLV is a 17.3-inch laptop with an LCD resolution of 1600 x 900. It has 6GB of memory and a 1000GB hard drive. It has an Intel Core i5-3210M 2.5GHz processor and Intel HD Graphics 4000 video adapter but no dedicated video memory, so it's not well suited for high-performance video gaming.

Comment:
I have had a major problem with the cursor moving to another line in the middle of typing something. This is really time consuming when you are trying to work and have to redo what you've just typed. The laptop has also randomly disconnected from my work network causing me to lose work. I know of 5 other people that have the same problem with their Dell Inspiron laptops, yet Dell tech service claims it is not a common problem.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
