Dell Studio XPS 16

The Dell Studio XPS 16 is a high performance notebook computer designed to be both mobile and stylish. While similar to the smaller Studio XPS 13, this version is generally more powerful and features a higher resolution screen to assist with productivity. The Studio XPS 16 has optional genuine leather & metal accents to compliment the magnesium alloy notebook’s glossy black or red finish. The keyboard is backlit so users can type in the dark. The base model includes a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a 15.6” widescreen display (1600 x 900), a slot loading DVD –R/W drive, 3GB of DDR3 memory, a 250GB hard drive and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670 (512MB). Numerous customizations are available through Dell’s website, including a faster Core 2 Duo processor, up to 8GB of memory, a 500GB hard drive, a Blu-ray Disc writer, a 1920 x 1080 screen and a faster Radeon HD 4670 (1GB) graphics card.
