Dell :: Studio 1747 Vs. 1749
May 4, 2010This is for the Dell USA site as of 5/6/2010....any other countries and/or times YMMV
There are some notable differences between the 1747 and 1749 being offered via the Dell Studio 17 selector
1749:
ATI 5650
i3-350M, i5-430M, i5-520M (No i5-540M or i7-620M. No Quad Core Options)
1066 memory (Makes sense since dual core i3,i5,i7's only support up to 1066 memory)
9-Cell battery as default option
1yr Warranty default
1080P "RGBLED" panel Description/Product Code = DH1080F / 320-8968
1747:
ATI 4650
i7-720QM, i7-820QM (No dual core options at all)
1333 memory support
9-Cell battery as default option
2-yr warranty default (No 1 yr option)
1080P "B+RG" panel Description/Product Code = CH1080F / 313-8043
Blue Ray RW drives are now an option for both @ $150.00
Intel 6200/6250 options are available for both
I'm definitely curious about the panel changes along with system board revisions to see if the 1749 supports Quad Core CPUs.

Dell :: Studio 1745, 1747, 1749 Backlit Keyboard Aftermarket?
Apr 20, 2010I just bought a Studio 1749 with a Dutch US international keyboard. The US backlit keyboard is the only backlit one and not an option here.
The only difference is the missing € symbol at key number 5, for which I don't care so much.
Now I'm trying to find the US backlit keyboard at eBay or Amazon without success. Is there a way to find one aftermarket and get it shipped to Europe?
Dell :: Studio 1749?
Jan 25, 2010I believe '1749' is the model number for the core i5 Studio 17 - anyone know when it will be released or whether the i5-540m will be available? Considering buying an XPS 1647 now but would prefer the 17" screen

All for the paltry sum of £673.

Problem is i am now on the verge of buyers remorse so i am asking for a little input on my choice. I would really like the input of you guys who have been around Laptops for a while.
Dell :: Warning About A04 Bios Update For 1749
May 7, 2010I have a dell 1749 with I7 and the ATI graphics card and loved it till today when I applied the recommended A04 version bios update.
It stopped at 69 out of 70 in the install process for over an hour and then I had a brick!
Dell have agreed to replace the unit as it is less than a month old and totally fried, it wont even get to the dell logo stage which means you can't revert to the previous bios.
It may have been that it was already faulty but I would be very wary of updating the bios at this time.
Dell Studio 1749 :: RAID Controller Or Not?
Apr 18, 2013I have a Dell 1749 into which I have installed two OCZ Vertex 3 MaxIOPS SSD drives. Boot times are pretty fast using a single, non-raid, drive but I was thinking of configuring the two drives in a RAID 0 configuration to boost speed a bit further. I could not find anything in the bios settings that would allow the SATA controller to go to a RAID configuration. I guess, therefore, that at least the laptop that I have does not have RAID capabilities. Were there any Studio 1749 system boards that did indeed support RAID?

Dell :: TV Card For 1747
Feb 11, 2010Yesterday I took the undercover of my 1747 and I saw a connecteing area where it's noted TV card. It's as small as a wifi connector, and laying just beside the WIFI dongle.
Do you know what kind of cards do I have to buy for it? I never saw such a tiny thing before. People who has tv tuner would you please, tell me what is the card number or the manifacturer? And If it's a good one?

View 4 Replies View RelatedDell :: Studio 1749 Fan Noise/temperature Problems
Feb 13, 2010I've recently received my dell studio 1749 laptop with the following specs,
- i5 CPU 520m
- 4 gigs of RAM
- Intel HD graphics
- 320 gig HD
The problem with this laptop is that the fan will start to whine every few minutes seemly without reason.
I've done some investigation and found out the following:
- there seems be a threshold of 35 to 36 degrees celsius. Once the CPU hits that temperature, the fan will start to cool it down to under 30 degrees
- the idle temperature of the CPU is always creeping up, even without load. If I leave the computer alone at idle with almost no CPU activity, the temperature will creep up to the threshold...thus triggering fan.
the cycle repeats itself every few minutes.
I've attached a picture to illustrate the problem.
Since this is my first laptop, I want to ask does the CPU temperature stay constant during idle? or does it creep up like mine?
Can the threshold be modified?
Is this normal with the dell studio?
Dell Studio 1749 :: 3 Blinking Lights But Will Not Power On
Aug 12, 2014My daughter's 1749 laptop shut itself off and now when you plugin the power adapter, the light over the plug on the laptop blinks three times. It will not power on at all.
I have replaced the power jack in the laptop as well as the cpu and tried different known-good ram but nothing makes any difference. What does the light over the power jack blinking three times indicate?Â
Dell Studio 1749 :: Extended Battery Life Gone
Jan 6, 2012I had to reset my Studio 1749 to factory defaults and now the option for "Dell Extended Battery Life" within the Dell Battery Meter is gone. I don't know what needs to be reinstalled in order to get it back.
These are the changes that might affect the issue:
- Installed a different WiFi-Card (Dell 1520)- Installed a different Tuner Card (Yuan, provided by Dell)- Installed Service Pack 1 for Windows 7- Flashed BIOS to A08- Updated all Drivers and Utilities from the Dell Homepage except for the ATI-Driver
I think it is a useful tool if you use your notebook on battery, because it is able to control a few options that are not available in Windows 7 default power plans.
Dell :: Studio 1747 TV Tuner
Apr 4, 2010I purchased a Studio 1747 from Dell online. On the left side, I have a tv tuner port.
I have tried hooking up an antenna but Windows Media Center does not detect a tv tuner on this laptop.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? or did dell not install the tuner? or is it a dummy port?
Dell :: 1747 Graphics Question
Jan 10, 2010To start off, im looking into buying a notebook within the price range of under $1800, and found the studio 1747.
It had all that i needed, core i7, 1tb harddrive (free upgrade option in canada) 6gb of ram (when you upgrade) but lack luster graphics, the ati mobility 4650. I was looking for a notebook with atleast a 5870 mobility but couldnt find any in the specified price range.
My question is, is it possible to swap out a 4650 with a 5870? on desktops as long as there is adequate power you can, but i think the power consumption might be too much. If that is the case, can any one point me in the right direction for a better notebook?

Dell :: Ordered A 14z A Week Ago, Do I Get Free Windows 7?
Sep 13, 2009I ordered the 14z about a week ago and I dont remember them offering a free Windows 7 update. I guess I assumed it was included. I went to the website a few minutes ago and I see that its in red as an offer.
Do you think if I call Dell and tell them I want the upgrade or I will just cancel my order and reorder they will give it to me? Its seems silly for them to stop production of my laptop just for a free O.S. upgrade.

May 25, 2010After putting up with countless BSOD's and failed harddrives on the Inspiron 1720, they send me a refurbished Studio 1747. Bigger hard drive space, HD screen, and twice the ram are very enticing to keep this machine. But the Inspiron's GPU AND CPU processors are faster (compare Intel Core i7 720QM processor and ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 graphics to the dual 2.0GHz centrino duo nvidia geforce 8600m GT). And I also found it silly that they would include an HD screen but not a blue-ray disc reader. So since DELL told me over the warranty phone line that they would "match the specs of your [my] old computer," should I just keep this or run some benchmarks on some games and figure this out? I don't want to spend more time on this if I have to if it is common knowledge that I got a good ad deal.
edit: forgot to add that the studio runs windows 7 64bit and inspiron is running w7 32 bit
Dell :: Studio 1747 Delivery Problems?
Jan 3, 20102 years ago i ordered a Vostro 1700 that took ages to arrive because of i think back then screen supply problems.
Now we ordered a few new Studio 1747 with the Core i7 820 procs the order date was 1 December.. But now i got a mail that the delivery date is pushed back to 17 of February!! Wooot???
It seems that dell is many times just saying that you can order new systems but most of the time they can deliver one bit?
Its orderd from dell.nl, how are other orders doing in Europa? Are the 1747 with the Core i7 being delivered in the states?
Dell :: Keyboard Prob. W/ Studio 1747
Dec 20, 2009I've been getting this weird problem with the 'M' key on my keyboard.
It randomly doesn't acknowledge a keystroke. And it's completely intermittent. I'll just notice that an M is missing from my messages or from a URL.
Latest BIOS and Chipset upgrades are installed, that's what Dell Support told me to do. And then nothing.
I really don't want to send my laptop in, it's always such a hassle.
Any ideas? I know if I wait long enough I can just replace the keyboard off of Ebay if it's the hardware that's the problem.
