The main target of the Dell family are your small business. Those looking for a business machine at a reasonable price with the latest hardware can choose between your 3500 in the 15.6 "we've tested recently and your 3700 in size from 17.3". In the configuration of the test, the 17-inch features a Core i7 720QM Quad-Core , a Nvidia GeForce 330M independent, four GB of RAM and a fast 500-GB hard drive.

Typical of Dell, the Vostro 3700 can be configured in any way. The various options available see details below. The sections on performance, emissions and battery life are tested on the hardware and do not necessarily apply to different configurations.

Homes

Except for size and weight, your 3700 looks identical to his younger brother, on your 3500 . The 17.3-inch is housed in a 410mm wide, 230mm deep and up to 34.4mm, and weighs 3kg. The power supply adds 620g to the total weight to carry. Talking Transportation: There is a dedicated block. We must therefore ensure that during transport the dust does not enter between keyboard and screen.

The appearance of your can be configured in three different colors for the cover and the edge of the screen. We offer silver (Silver Aberdeen) as our test model, Red (Red Lucerne) and bronze (Brisbane Bronze) with an addition of 30 Euro.

Taking advantage of a surface of aluminum and plastic, the case is meticulously constructed. There is basically no criticism to make in terms of stability of the case. There is nothing like that in aluminum lids. Raising the corner with one hand because only a minimal bending and well exceeds our pressure test. We were also pleased with the resistance to pressure and twisting of the base. Only the area around the optical drive that sells homes under great pressure. The work area is still in black plastic with a nice look and feel. "

The angled hinges attached to the screen limits the opening angle of just under 135 degrees. Firmly hold the screen dancing only slightly after opening the screen.

Connectivity

The arrangement of the interfaces is mostly quite good. In addition to an analog VGA port, an HDMI interface for digital connections with external monitors or TVs is present. The user can connect peripherals such as printers or external mouse via one of five USB 2.0 ports. One of these is a combined USB eSATA-to allow a transfer rate of better than using external drives with USB. If your 3700 does not have sufficient functionality, you can always extend thanks to the ExpressCard/34.

It lacks a docking port that is normally found in the notebook business. In its place, you can choose a USB solution as the Kensington SD100 USB Port Replicator, which is about 50 Euro in Germany. This allows you to connect your notebook to a work area and extends the existing interfaces. But the Kensington SD100 offers only five USB connections, one Ethernet and audio ports. In particular, for lefties, it might be handy to have the video connections on the docking station: Depending on the allocation of space, very annoying wires may limit the working space to the left of the laptop.

Network Communications

You can connect through cable RTL8168D/8111D Realtek Family PCI-E GBE NIC (10/100/1000MBit) or wireless with Dell Wireless 1520 Wireless-N Half Mini Card (ABN). Currently there are no alternatives for the WLAN card offer for your 3700.

A card Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth 2.1 makes it possible to transfer data with mobile devices with mobile phone or PDA.

Operating System

Dell offers your 3700 with a Windows operating system. In addition to Windows 7 professional in both 32-and 64-bit downgrade to Windows XP is available. Since our test model has four GB of RAM and mounts only 7 Professional 32-Bit Windows, the user has only 2.94 GB of real memory. For a more efficient use of physical RAM available, the choice of 64-bit operating system is recommended. This unless the devices have not provided drivers for 64 bit.

Practicality

Those who prefer to equip and upgrade their machines just have an easy life with your 3700. Removing only two screws and lifting the cover, you have access to the RAM modules, hard drive and the WLAN module.

Accessories

A recovery disc as well as drivers and applications were included on our tester. If they were not sent or arranged, can be easily created by applying Backup and Recovery Manager, Dell.

Warranty

Guarantee your 3700 in German-speaking areas cover a year ProSupport for End-User and Repair "in sight" for the next day as standard. You can extend the warranty to three years of almost ProSupport for a reasonable 65 euros.

Security Options

What would a business machine without a well thought out security options? Surely no one expects special features with a SmartCard reader or a similar entry-level machine. However, a fingerprint reader is included. According to " technical data "on the homepage of Dell, a disk encryption software with Wave 250 GB capacity is expected to be available as an option for your 3700. But in the online configuration tool, there is no alternative to the hard drive right now. Like almost all handsets, you can protect your 3700 from thieves by blocking Kensington.

Input Devices

Keyboard

The base of the keyboard a little bounce 'when writing. The mechanical properties of the buttons are marked by a relatively long bar and a pressure point identifiable. Thanks to the standard layout, you soon find their rhythm in the writing. The sign on F and J could be clearer, however. Who often have to enter numbers will be happy with the presence of separate numeric keypad, which also has a standard layout. In addition, the spill-resistant keyboard offers LED backlighting with two brightness levels controlled by the Fn.

In addition to the switch on the WLAN front corner, there is also a bar for touch-sensitive media controls above the keyboard.

Touchpad

Due to the presence of the numeric keypad, touch pad is not centered, but shifted to the left so you will not be activated accidentally while writing. The touch-sensitive surface is 94mm wide and 50mm high and has a pleasant surface that slides easily. The pointer can be controlled accurately with the standard settings. In addition, the touchpad supports several multi-touch gestures. Scrolling can be made through the dedicated zone, marked by the vertical scroll area on the right. The choice of "Dell Touchpad" in the mouse settings (system settings) offers a complete range of configurations in order to allow customization of the touchpad suits the user's preference. Its keys are extremely quiet and have a good response over the entire surface. The pressure is relatively long.

Screen

The screen manufactured by Samsung installed on our test model is a SyncMaster 710M/710V/MagicSyncMaster diagonal of 17.3 ". With a resolution of 1600x900 pixels (HD +), offers a 16:9 aspect ratio suitable for watching movies. To be for a machine business has, of course, a reflective surface.

Distribution of brightness

According to the values that we recorded, our tester reaches its maximum brightness of 263 cd / m² in the upper left quadrant. The brightness goes down to its minimum of 207 cd / m² brightness giving us a 79%. The average brightness is still to 228.9 cd / m².

Thanks to 'high level of blacks 1.33 cd / m² maximum brightness and white at 235 cd / m² measured in central segment of the image shows a contrast is above the average of 177:1.

Personally, the black seems too light. When displaying monochrome images are indistinguishable levels of the shadows to the naked eye. The texts are clear and easy to read.

At least in the shade, working outdoors is no problem thanks to the good and the matt surface brightness of the screen.

Shaded

To direct sunlight

The viewing angles are typical of the notebook: vertical, are scarce. Even the slightest change leads to blackouts or sovrailluminazioni. A further consequence is the change of colors. Id horizontal viewing angles on the other hand are much more generous. Look at the screen simultaneously is not a problem, if you are all the same height.

Performance

Your 3700 is based on the chip set HM57 . Thanks to this, your 3700, can be, and indeed it is offered with processors from Core i. In our case, a Core i7 720QM ( -> information from the manufacturer ), in other words, you used a quad-core processor. Based on the configurations and cooling capacity, the core can be set from 1.6 GHz to 2.8 GHz with turbo technology. With hyper-threading, up to 8 threads can be run simultaneously.

With the embedded controller, the processor can work with up to eight GB of main memory DDR3-1066/1333. Your 3700 is offered with up to six GB of RAM. But in our model was fitted to "only" four GB. Combined with the 32-bit operating system pre-installed, as mentioned above, are not used efficiently.

Information System of the Dell Vostro 3700 (i7-720QM, GT 330M)

Our test your 3700 is equipped with an Nvidia GeForce 330M GT . The graphics card supports DirectX 10.1 40nm lithography. In addition, it supports the CPU for decoding video. Its video processor 4 (VP4) enables the full decoding of H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2 as well as MPEG-4 ASP (DivX or XviD).

With support for CUDA, DirectX, OpenGL, PhysX, and the stream processors can be used for other applications (video coding, physics effects ...) and are much faster than traditional processors thanks to the large number of parallel shaders.

DPC Latency Checker

The latency of our test system constantly exceeds the critical level. This can lead to problems concerning the processing of data streams in real time. For example, it can happen with an external sound card. The activity of the WLAN module did not affect the results of our tests of latency.

Gaming performance

Decent performance in video games are desirable due to the Geforce GT 330M integrated. It 's a middle-class graphics card that should run smoothly in the modern 3D games, even with low settings and resolution.

FEAR 2 (2009)

With an average of 32 fps, to the horror shooter to play smoothly with high settings (1280x1024 pixels, High AA: 4x AF: bilinear) is hardly possible. But for reserving some 'power play throughout the course, should be more conservative. With medium settings (1024x768, medo, AA 2x AF: bilinear), your 3700 reached an average framerate of 56 fps.

Year 1404

This strategy can be played smoothly at low settings (1024x768, Low AA: 0 AF: 0) getting a framrate of 60 fps. In this way, we reserve some resources for times of need. But one should not exaggerate. With the very high settings (1280x1024, very high, AA: 0, AF: 4), the average framerate at 19 fps, and then falls below the soybean gameplay.

Dirt2

Colin McRae: DIRT 2 (2009) runs at an average of 85 fps with low settings and can be played at 50 fps at medium (1024x768, medium, AA: 0x). High settings result in repeated interruptions in the game.

Risen

In contrast, Risen is playable only with low settings (800x600, everything off, low, AF: 0x) with which we will have an average framerate of 47 fps with Fraps. Even mid-level (1024x768, everything on, average, AF 2x), the frame rate falls to 23 fps, making the game more fluid. low average high ultra

Emissions

System noise

At rest, your 3700 is nice with a maximum of 34.6 dB (A). Access to the hard drive stands out slightly with a ticking slightly stronger (35.2 dB (A)). Despite the fast disk by 7200, we did not notice vibrations of the case. Under load, the sound level increases to 44.8 dB (A), but thanks to the subtle action of the fan is quite discreet. Please note only because of a slightly stronger, steady and low frequency noise.

Temperature

A case thin, powerful components and a relatively quiet fan to worry that the machine can overheat under load. Instead, after an hour with stresstest FurMark Stability Testing and Prime95 in-place large FFTs test were performed simultaneously, we recorded a maximum temperature of 50.7 degrees Celsius at the bottom. The left side, where they placed the components of the system and the fan is much hotter than the right side. Even at the top, the heat spread from the back left. Here we have measured a maximum temperature of 50.8 degrees Celsius. The area of the keyboard and the left palm rest area were warm to the touch.

If you are testing for more than an hour, however, the core of the CPU exceeds the critical limit of 85 degrees Celsius after several hours. The graphics card gets very hot up to 89 degrees Celsius. If you look at the working frequency of CPU, you may notice a decrease in speed of individual cores with increasing temperature.

The situation changes with low loads. In typical office applications or internet searches with the lightest, the tester was pleasantly cool in both the top and bottom. Load

Speakers

Both stereo speakers (4 Ohm, 2W x 2) are located on the left and right just above the keyboard. As is typical of the machines without a subwoofer, the sound is lacking in bass, but on the whole balanced and clean. At high volumes there are distortions in the high tones. The test connector for 3.5mm headphones using a headset of high quality showed no problems.

Battery life

Readers' Reviews

Classic Test

Equipped with a lithium-ion battery with capacity of 56 watt hours, our test model achieves a running time of only about three hours unplugged in the best scenario. We achieved this by running the Battery Eater Readers test tool that simulates the reading of a text. For this test, the WLAN module is turned off and the brightness reduced to the lowest level.

With brightness and usable profile of energy saving, there are still about two and a half hours with a good light while searching on the internet via WLAN using the battery. In contrast, the battery is consumed after only an hour and a half of watching films on DVD with settings for high performance.

Finally, under load, simulated with the Battery Eater Classic test with WLAN active and maximum brightness, you can get an hour of operation.

Your 3700 offers a range of less then his brother's child, your 3500 , with the same battery capacity, CPU Core i5 430M and 310M GeForce graphics card. Similar durations of the battery are offered for example by the Dell Studio 1747 (720QM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650, Battery 56 Wh).

According to specifications, there is also an optional 9-cell battery if the battery is too low. This offer is still not at the time in Dell's online store for the German-speaking countries. In the U.S., the battery 9-cell 90 Wh capacity costs 99 USD.

Le prestazioni beneficiano dal fatto che i componenti utilizzati nel Vostro 3700 non siano esattamente orientati al risparmio energetico. il processore Core i7 720QM quad-core ha un TDP di 45 watt. A parte lo schermo piccolo, la CPU Core i5 430M CPU del Vostro 3500 consuma solo 35 watt. Non c'è quindi da stupirsi che il fratello minore ne esca meglio in termini di consumo di corrente e autonomia della batteria.

Considerando il consumo di corrente di 98.1 ore, la batteria da 90 watt è un po' troppo piccola. Nel complesso, il consumo di corrente è quello che ci aspettavamo da un portatile in questa sicurezza. L'unica parte a risparmio energetico e quindi rispettosa dell'ambiente è lo schermo con la sua retro illuminazione a LED.

Overall Rating

Alla fine, il Vostro 3700 impressiona per più del suo design elegante. Il case con il suo abbondante uso di alluminio ci ha impressionato per la sua fattura e buona stabilità.

Il portatile guadagna punti anche grazie a prestazioni molto buone nelle applicazioni e alle buone prestazioni grafiche che permettono di eseguire giochi che sfruttano intensivamente il 3D con impostazioni medie in maniera fluida. Sfortunatamente, la macchina tende a diventare piuttosto calda.

Se si vuole usare il 17 pollici all'aperto, non è un problema, almeno all'ombra, grazie alla sua luminosità. Il disco rigido resistente ai colpi e la tastiera resistente dagli schizzi proteggono dalla perdita di dati in caso di problemi.

Dell ha fatto un buon lavoro unendo un pacchetto business entry-level con caratteristiche avanzate ad un prezzo ragionevole. In aggiunta, il Vostro 3700 può essere largamente personalizzato per andare incontro alle esigenze di prestazione dell'utente.
