    The fact they made the Studio 17 thinner either means they've got a better cooling system or the Core i7 does not run as hot as I would have assumed. Performance in terms of benchmarks and heat will be interesting for these machines as those are always the unknown factors with a new processor inside an existing machine.

    I'm surprised at how affordable they are. I was expecting price points starting at $1500-$2000.

    Looks like Dell's last holdout on the 16:10 display aspect ratio, the Studio 17, has finally succumbed to the 16:9 HD aspect ratio craze. Seriously, this has got to stop.

    Otherwise, these notebooks look pretty sweet!

    Almost all the major suppliers of screens have switched to 16:9, so ODMs really have no choice but to take that aspect ratio...

    I wonder when the Latitudes get the i7 treatment?

    I must say I'm slightly surprised that the M17x isn't getting the i7 treatment yet.

    Intel Core i7 720QM 1.6GHz (1333 FSB/6MB L3 Cache)
    Wait - doesn't the i7 get rid of the FSB?
