Specification
The relatively large screen, coupled with thin and light casing, allowed a balance of power and portability; especially given the quoted 3 hour battery life. This made the notebook especially popular with business users.

The inclusion of the ATI Rage M1 Graphics Chip allowed the 1700 to compete closely with high-end notebooks from higher price ranges. This heightened attraction from the business market, as the system could comfortably run high-demand applications with relative ease in a lightweight and portable form.
