Overall, the impression is a mixed bag: We like the used materials, but the stability of the device should be better. Note: Currently, the size specifications on Dell's German web site are not correct. With a maximum height of only 24 mm (~0.94 in), the Dell Inspiron 17-5758 is slightly slimmer than its predecessor. The keyboard stands out with its contrasting color against the surrounding areas and is slightly lower than the case. The corners can give way slightly when pressure is applied. The base unit of the notebook bends quite easily and creaks quietly with side-to-side twisting. Now, the Dell Inspiron 17-5758 has a rubberized surface around the keyboard, which feels nice to the touch, but is a magnet for fingerprints. In addition, the large display twists easily. The liquid crystals become visible when direct pressure is applied to the display. The lid of the predecessor was made from metal, but the new Inspiron 17-5000 has a plastic lid with discreet diamond pattern.

If you compare the recently reviewed Dell Inspiron 15-5558 with our test model, the case is almost identical apart from the size.
