Dell Inspiron 17 7000 2-in-1 Laptop Review: World's First 17-inch Convertible Laptop!

This is my review of the Dell Inspiron 17-inch 7000 (7778) 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop. It features a big FHD (1920 x 1080) display and a premium design. It's great for productivity, consuming media and playing the odd game. Watch for the full review!

I bought the Dell 17-7000 directly from the company and today it was delivered. First impressions: like you said, I wanted a desktop replacement and this heavy duty box has the specs for serious data analytical and GIS mapping work. I ordered it with a Seagate Backup Portable Storage hard drive along with Logitech Ultrathin touch mouse and I plan on hooking it up with a second monitor. I like the industrial simplicity of its design and it has the feel of a computer fitting in an office or out in the field. I'll have it professionally configured for optimal performance and easy workflow, so there is every reason to believe this laptop should run like a champ.

[@IwanRahabok]

Thanks for the video. I'm using the 14" version for 2 years. I used to have 15.6" earlier. I just ordered this 17". I think it's the best 2-in-1 out there for my needs (no game, no video editing). What I don't like: battery should be bigger (there is enough space inside the body for more battery), smaller hinges (every cm matters when you're 17" screen). Power should be USB, so I can use it to charge my phone too.

[@miamicelebrations]

I have a Dell 17 inch for more than 3 years, and I am even surprised because it's been doing the work great so far. The other laptop I work with side to side is a Macbook 2015, so far this Dell is not backing off, so am Glad!

[@arturoblancocoto]

Hi, does it suporte active pen?

[@frkzoid]

The newest 15 inch model now has Infinity Edge screen like the XPS according to the Dell KZbin channel. Looking forward to a 17 inch Infinity Edge screen! Hopefully I have the cash to splurge by then.

I had a Inspiron 17 - 7737, 17 inch laptop, and I upgraded the HD hard drive to a Sandisk 960 GB SSD, works grate, u need to switch to SSD from HD hard drive as well.

Could you review the Inspiron 13 7000. I'm looking to buy one but no one has done a really in depth, good review. Great video!

[@markh.3665]

The reason I am finding that they do not put a 7200RPM drive in these laptops is the height of the drive. Most 7200RPM 2.5" drives are 9mm tall. The space for physical drive is limited to 7mm in some machines. So you could not even change to a 7200rpm drive if you wanted to. Easiest thing now is to just swap that 2.5mm with a 1 TB SSD drive to get the better speed. There are slower SSD's that would be great for storage area, and use a 960Pro M.2 in the boot slot.

[@teearr9120]

Just bought mine today, in the process of setting it up currently. I like what I see so far, and I did research quite a few. I will let you know once I'm rolling with it.

[@3la2r]

pls give us your opinion I'm thinking in buying one

[@teearr9120]

So far I like the product very much. I think it is well worth the price point and quality is great. I only dread ever having to contact Dell for support as their call centre is a joke. I originally ordered this from their website, and after 3.5 weeks of trying to deal with foreign call centres, I cancelled the order and bought mine at Best Buy. The product is awesome.

[@Ek-os5nm]

so 17 inch is actually really big so r u facing any problems with it ? cuz i also wanna buy the 17inch bcz of 1TB hard disk and 128gb SSD and 2 GB graphics so is it good for college also games ?

[@pietrol4769]

I got this Notebook the Day it was released and i really like it. The review you made was very good but with they keyboard part i cant completely agree. Especialy the space between the buttons is perfect for me to type without looking and feels very comfortable :) Also to mention thanks to your video i know that i have different backlight options

[@MatthewMoniz]

+Pietro Lebiu thanks Pietro : ) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@zackeaux1059]

Nice job regarding your description of the keyboard. Most reviewers seem to think it is verboten to describe the experience of pressing a key. Who knows, maybe manufacturers have pressured them to keep quiet. But from a health standpoint we do need to know about whether the key hits bottom softly or with a clack and the extent to which keys are clicky and how far these keys travel. Thanks for the effort.

[@MatthewMoniz]

You're welcome Zack!

[@Tw3akst3r]

Overall a very nice quick review Matt. I am looking for more SSD info however as I have this laptop but I ordered it without the SSD. Info I was given originally suggested it used a typical 2.5" which I have several but it seems it is instead m.2. I have an m.2 in my desktop and I'd like to order one for this laptop but I would like to make sure the exact option it supports. If you could simply snap a shot of or tell me the model of the Toshiba m.2 that's installed that'd be great. I hope you follow up with your older vids still, thanks in advance.

Yeah ppl will say it's too big to be a tablet, but it's more of an aio, and tent mode makes it great for some artists or ppl who want an aio. Use it like a desktop at home, but if you have to go somewhere you can have the laptop mode. Seems awesome to me

[@davec2470]

Just purchased mine from Best Buy last night! Complaints so far, is that Firefox browser crashes all the time, and I won't stand for that on a brand new computer. Edge browser can't make video calls on Facebook because the browser is not supported and they want you to download Chrome, or Firefox! What to do? Beyond that, I love my new Dell, and will figure out a way through any problems. Pretty heavy, even though it has no optical drive. No dedicated Ethernet connection. USB3 I think can be adapted. My old Dell came with a fake SD card that you could pop it out for a real card(protection purposes). When you flip the screen over for a giant tablet, I worry about the keyboard being laid down on it's belly with no protection from dust or spills! End result, great laptop, on sale at around $900.00, beautiful picture, nice sound, but it does have it's flaws!

[@xcoffee9039]

After extensive typing tests in stores, the 17" 7000 is a rare good find in my opinion.

[@hoganvansickle7827]

Do you have any feedback on the quality of the internal microphone? Is that something that can be upgraded without needing to add a USB microphone?

[@bobwhiteside9950]

Did you try using any kind of pen on the touch screen? If so which type and How does it preform?

[@adnansarraj7966]

such an impressive review! I just have an important question I need this laptop for drawing, so does it support dell active stylus pen? and can you really move easily while in tablet mode? can you hold it with one hand and use the other to work with the screen (even if for a five minute or so)?

[@MatthewMoniz]

Thanks Adnan! = ) Yes, it supports dells optional active stylus. One hand use would definitely be uncomfortable in tablet mode. It's a big laptop. But on your laptop or using two hands for short periods of time is fine.

I'm hoping someone could be of assistance and tell me if this laptop would be a good one to get - is it fast/powerful enough for me to build a website online without slow loading times and lagging (not a website from scratch but on Wix for example)? Previous laptops I have used recently have been really slow (I believe they are older laptop models and not very powerful) ... And which is the most powerful version of this 17 inch Dell 2-in1 (I believe it was mentioned that there are different versions that increase in speed)? Thank you so much in advance

[@whyisntit]

Wow! This laptop is a beast. I was looking to replace my desktop as well and needed a two in one. I was looking at surface book before but it is just too expensive for me especially the i7 configurations. This is very nicely priced with a really beautiful look. The battery is awesome, face recognition adds to its charm and that big beautiful display would cater all my movie needs. The only thing that bothers me slightly is how durable are those hinges because I want to buy this and keep it for at least 4-5 years.

[@MatthewMoniz]

The hinges are quite stiff if that helps! = ) But i can't really give you a a better idea since the laptop is only a couple of months old.

[@whyisntit]

Matthew Moniz Thanks! And the review was awesome. Do you think it can handle fifa and PES well since I only play these two games

Your comments are well researched and helpful. The background muzak is irritating, and nearly as loud as your voice, preventing concentrating on your words. Ditch the Muzak. I bought the laptop.

I think dell inspiron 7559 its a better option. Much powerfull with better gpu and cpu, bigger battery and cheaper. Nice video

[@Tw3akst3r]

Found your question checking into the SSD upgrade options for my I7778 that arrived earlier today. I feel doubtful it'll support NVMe so I won't use the drive I use in my desktop but I too am looking to confirm 100% what SSD is supported. Since you dropped this query 2 months ago I hope maybe you have some answers you'd be so kind as to share? As for the memory question you'd be best buying a matched pair of 8GB memory but replacing the 4GB with a 8GB of the same speed as what is installed would also work (usually, memory can be a little picky sometimes hence the reason I suggest the match set).

[@Sirile774]

I am looking at this... I have a HP 17.3 AMD A8-7410 with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics which is slow to load up. I utilize Adobe creative cloud o PS, Ai and Pr and for the most part if you stay patient you will get done what is needed but I am tired of being patient for things to load... I have researched All in One's with Dell and HP models and from what I gather is core i5 is better than Ryzan 5 and there is not much difference between i5 and i7 which i7 has hyperthreading but I have heard mix reviews on how hyperthreading slows the processors down. I know I will need 16 gigs or better and I can always upgrade components... So dell right now has the 7000 model with Intel Iris Xe graphics which I have seen tests that they are exceeding in the market right now above AMD invidia GeForce graphics So my question I am asking is do I buy something that is portable or an All in one? How well does the touch screen work and can I use a stylus Will illustrator work proficiently well on the 7000 When using as a tablet will videos look great? I am not much of a gamer

What's the purpose of the USB type c port on the laptop, sorry I'm confused. You said it can charge the laptop, how?

[@MatthewMoniz]

Type C is the new type of USB port. It's much faster and can also push more power. Which means you can connect a USB Type-C cable to a power adapter and charge your laptop. The adapter will obviously have to support the voltage of the battery. Of course you can just use the standard power cable that comes with the laptop but the option is always there. Hope this helps! If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask!

[@mrmathboireborn5805]

Matthew Moniz Thank you so much for the reply! So the only purpose of the usb type c port on this laptop is to charge the laptop with another adaptor faster?

[@MatthewMoniz]

You're welcome! No, it's multipurpose. So not only can you charge the laptop, but you can also connect usb type-c peripherals. So external hard drives, mouse, usb type-c sick. It even lets you connect an external monitor.

[@mrmathboireborn5805]

Matthew Moniz Wow thats cool! Also another quick question, does you're model automatically turn on the keyboards backlight when you turn the laptop on? If so do you know how to turn off that feature, i cant find it online anywhere.

It depends what yo uneed it for? The Dell XPS 15 is much better in my opinion. It's faster with a more beefier processor and you get a more powerful dedicated graphics card. Plus, if you get the 4K screen model it's absolutely gorgeous to look at. Both laptops can have their Hard drives replaced.

Hi there, Few weeks ago I suddenly got a Message "Hard Drive not installed" on my Dell Inspiron 17-7000(7778) (i5 processor) series and couldn't access Windows anymore, this was after a lot of years of ongoing screen freeze alongside other issues that I had on 2 same Inspiron laptops since day one and have reported to Dell but unfortunately Dell Customer Service and Support have Failed to Address the Issues tell warranty Expiration not to mention the price (of the two) being students on a budget. and then the Hard Drive failure Came, Now I would like to try and upgrade to SSD M.2. In Setup and Specifications THE ONLY THING I FOUND is that I can Install One-m.2 drive and One-2.5 inch drive. Is Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 (1TB) or pro series compatible?, There woulden't be any Bios issues? And is there a limit of storage capacity that my 4-5 Year old Inspiron-17-i5 can handle on both Hard Drives (primary and secondary). Thanks.
