OOOOoohhhhhhhhhh...I want that... Where to get a grand???

The "Design" page says up to: i7 (with 1333MHz DDR3), 900p screen, SSD flash, and a blue ray slot drive.


I'm waiting for the SSD and hopefully the 900p screen..... then I'll buy it. (and hopefully they will get the i5-540M)


Too bad they don't have new colors like that cappuccino one.

wierd, the spec said 900p possible, but you cant select it, no option. and the highest is i5-520m, you can do the 540 or i7

Maybe they'll have more options in the next few weeks. The "Tech Specs" say one thing, and then the "Design" page says another (it mentions a Solid State Drive), but none of these options are available when building it.


I'm wondering if they'll make a 14z with the new i5? (hoping)

[smilepak]

bestbuy has the 15z with i5

[jslick]

this looks interesting..
wish there's more info and reviews

As this is a new model, sad that they didn't go directly with the Radeon 5000 serie

[chaugh]

well the 5000 series is kinda new and havnt released the lower models like 5450 and stuff yet ... 4530 and ddr3 is pretty good on a 14 inch already inho

It seems new models are slowly trickling out of Dell since CES. High hopes for a Best Buy version of the Studio 1569 being available with upgradeable options in the future as well as better upgrades for this new Studio 14 model.
