The Dell Vostro 1720 is a laptop that offers solid performance thanks to its Intel® Core™2 Duo T6670 processor, with a frequency of 2.2 GHz. Its storage capacity of 320 GB, coupled with a 7200 RPM hard drive, ensures fast access times and enough space for your data. The 17-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels provides a pleasant visual experience, although some users may regret the absence of a built-in camera for video calls.
