Dell Studio series laptops trying to enter the style and ambience of luxury in a pretty powerful device that is not really so expensive. In which they succeeded to the extent, we try on the largest model, Della Studio 17
Dell Studio 17 notebook with screen diagonals of 17 inches, comes in seven different colors (we had to test red) in several different configurations, but as a common denominator to all the models are the very solid construction and excellent equipment, but not so good that we could compare it with the strongest Dell's XPS notebook series.

First, what catches one's eye is a refinement of this transporter, although it is relatively affordable prices, construction, keypad and finishing are very high quality. But we have one complaint on the design: the touchpad (unduly, because the place is) too small for such a large notebook. Screen is also very good;series Studio 17 comes with several different screens, one with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, however, probably offers too small still image, while our test model with 1440 x 900 pixels, pretty good choice, although we do not even complained the resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels. Built-in speakers, while behind them is a popular Hi-Fi manufacturer, are offered surprisingly good sound, you also should keep in mind if you buy this notebook primarily for multimedia.

Regarding the embedded ports, there was almost everything one could want: ExpressCard slot, four USB slots, network and audio, and HDMI and VGA video outputs. A power is not on the back, but on the side of the notebook, we have not and do not seem the best solution, but it is our opinion that most users it will not interfere. As for the speed, three built-gigabytes of RAM, a powerful processor Intel Core 2 Duo and ATI graphics card Radeon HD 3650 were sufficient for all tasks that were set in front of this notebook, except for the latest games, but we did not even expect that we will they can play with full detail, this leaves considerable cost laptops. Personally, the signatory of these lines are currently more like to see Nvidia-s graphics in laptops due to somewhat better drivers, but this is a matter of personal choice, and Dell will hold selection ATI-I. A pleasant surprise and firmware, which does not have too much and not particularly irritating (as it often can be when it comes to laptops); Dellov dock for launching programs reminiscent of the one in Apple's Mac OS X is one of the few software-ins on any the notebook, which we consider useful.

Conclusion

Dell Studio 17 is very good notebook for someone who (too) are not interested in playing, compared with the powerful XPS of the multiple is significantly cheaper and lighter, and not much slower when it comes to multimedia content in daily work. On the other hand, in the market, there are notebooks with 17-inch screen for almost twice as less money, but by the quality of workmanship and the strength of no way they can not compare with the Dell Studio 17th In short, Dell is, with some minor drawbacks, this device hit the golden mean.
