Dell expand notebook lineup with Studio series

The Studio 15 is based around a 15.4in 1280 x 800 panel and can be configured with a range of 2-2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors. Memory starts off at 2GB of dual-channel DDR 2, storage at a 160GB 5400rpm SATA drive.

There’s a choice of integrated Intel GMA X3100 or AMD ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3450 with 256MB of dedicated video Ram – in the UK, the Radeon comes as standard. The machine has an 8x multi-format slot-load DVD writer as standard, but it can be upgraded to a Blu-ray player and DVD burner combo drive.

802.11g Wi-Fi comes as standard, upgradeable to 802.11n, and there are mobile broadband cards on offer in the US but not over here.
