The  was not exactly a world champion in interface diversity, and its big brother that we are now testing tops that once more: Only one USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports in a 17-inch casing is clearly too little. Most contenders offer a minimum of a second USB 3.0 port. Besides that, all other 17-inch laptops feature at least a VGA port in contrast to the sole HDMI out in Dell’s Inspiron 17-5748. The combo-audio jack, that combines both a microphone and headphone/speaker socket, is the sad reality among most manufacturers.

The next strike is the interface positioning. Because the screen covers the rear edge, Dell could not place any ports on the rear edge because it is covered when the display is opened. Since the fan has been installed in the back left, and the DVD burner is in the back right (due to the beveled design), all interfaces are on the front sides. Cables not only interfere with opening the DVD tray, but they are also wildly distributed over the desk. We have seen this solved better, but to be fair we also have to say that a similar layout is found in virtually all compared devices.
