The e1705 carries on the look of the Inspiron 9300 notebook that it replaces. The brushed aluminum silver look is accented with a white panel surrounding. The look is clean and minimalist, it's quite a contrast to the equivalent HP dv8000z 17" screen notebook that has a much busier look with lots of lights, buttons and a black finish. I find the look to be okay, take or it leave it, certainly not as appealing as some of the sleeker carbon fiber top finish Acer TravelMate notebooks or the aluminum constructed MacBook Pro, but the e1705 isn't ugly either.. Read on over at Notebook Review's full evalution to learn more about this new laptop from Dell.
