Dell has announced a new 17-inch notebook, the Inspiron 17, and while it is unlikely to win any prizes, either for appearance or performance, it is a serious candidate budget if you have a large screen for a small price. From $ 499, the Inspiron 17 has to choose between Intel Pentium Dual-Core or Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB of storage.

The standard 17.3-inch display runs at 900p resolution, but Dell is a 1080p-capable version in September. Up to 4 GB of RAM is supported, and graphics from Intel GMA X4500HD by an ATI HD 4330 256MB and up to 512 MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330, which does not arrive back until September this year.

Elsewhere storage can Cranked up to 500 GB (even though there is no SSD option) and the standard DVD burner can also be used for a Blu-ray drive. Standard connectivity includes WiFi b g (optional draft-n and Bluetooth 2.0) along with three USB 2.0, 10 100 Ethernet, a 54mm ExpressCard slot, VGA and audio in out. A 1.3-megapixel webcam is also an option.

The batteries are 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., 9-cells (the latter starting in August) and the whole thing measures 16.4 x 10.9 x 1.2 cm and weighs from 6.8lbs with the smallest battery pack. The Dell Inspiron 17 is now available to order.
