Update: Hunting for the ideal laptop

Pricing on the Dell Studio 17 is available. The Studio 17 looks like a great machine. The pricing is even better! It sells for less than the Vostro, looks nicer, and has more features. Awesome.

I’ve ordered the following:

Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 (2.5 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2 Cache)
4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x2048]
17.0″ Widescreen WUXGA+ CCFL (1920×1200) TFT Display with TrueLife
160GB Free Fall Sensor (7200RPM) Hard Drive
8X DVD+/-RW Drive
256MB ATI Mobility RADEON HD 3650
9-cell 87 WHr Lithium Ion battery
Biometric Fingerprint Reader
Wireless 1510 Half Mini Card (802.11n)
Wireless 370 Bluetooth Module
AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid NanoExpress DVB-T TV Tuner
2.0 Mega pixel Integrated Web Camera
Travel Remote Control Express Card

I can’t wait for it to arrive!

  3. Steve: They put together a decent machine. Just the process to get something out of them is tedious.

    Jason: Haha, no. I got my order in before they broke their site :)

  4. Great choice. I am also on the look out for a new Lappi…

    Can I ask how much you paid for that beast?
