There's no denying this is a well-built laptop
But it's based on a smaller 13.3-inch design. Dell has simply made it larger to fit the stonking screen. Kind of like an awkward child
It means the shape and size looks odd in places. The keyboard l...
Keyboard flex
Not suited to gaming
Basic 1440 x 900 pixel native resolution
Low-end graphics chip. Low-res screen. Few multitouch apps
Odd texture on mouse trackpad
Limited hard drive options
Too expensive
Screen doesn't offer a 'Full HD' resolution
Disappointing and occasionally unresponsive touchscreen
The Dell Studio 17 is a solid laptop and ships in a variety of configurations starting at £599. Stock, it's a sedately handsome portable, but you can order it with a graphic or with a brighter colour on the lid to set your laptop apart from the crowd....
Dell’s done well to bundle some fast components with a 17.3in screen while keeping everything tantalisingly close to the £1000 mark. And although I’m not sold on the idea of touchscreen laptops, the fact Dell isn’t charging a huge premium for it means...

Abstract: Recently, the people at Dell have been doing a few swanky things that have grabbed my attention. From their 3D gaming technology to their new teeny-tiny Alienware M11x laptop that has a motherboard so powerful it’ll make playing with Robocop seem like...
Well-implemented multi-touch display; impressive performance; good audio capabilities
Too expensive; screen doesn't offer a 'Full HD' resolution
The touchscreen Studio 17 offers good performance, but it's too expensive for a machine in Dell's mid-range series, and, at this price, it should really have a display with a 'Full HD' resolution ...
Abstract: Wired magazine tested multi-touch PCs in the February issue, but this is the first laptop with a multi-touch screen we've seen.Dell's Studio 17 has a 17-inch, 1,600 x 900-pixel display. The touchscreen is accurate and works well, and is especially fun ...
Abstract: Building on the strong foundation of its excellent Studio 15, Dell's Studio 1747 packs the same stunning quad-core power and usability, while adding a larger screen and improved graphics and sound; making it a fantastic and affordable multimedia machi...
