Dell Studio 17

Dell Studio 17 allows for the consumer to be a little creative with personalized colour chassis. Other than the wide range of colour options, the Studio 17 also has the potential to be a powerful laptop, if processor and memory options are maxed out. The 17” widescreen LED with high resolution is part of the multimedia package this model offers, where HDMI connections are made standard. Processor upgrades max out at 2.5GHz CPU speed, while memory can expand to 4GB Dual Channel 667MHz. For a user looking to get the most out of the Studio 15 for multimedia purposes than the Discrete Graphic Card 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 should be chosen over the standard Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100. Dell has also equipped this unit with Mobile Broadband (Verizon or Sprint Mobile) with Dell Wireless Wi-Fi.
