i am a bit confused by your description that says it is a studio 15 and
the detail dell quote that states a 17.0" display.
if you are looking for a studio 15 then that is a horrible price.
start here and get more for less money - most notable is the much faster
processor and doiuble the hard disk, plus many other upgrades:

Add the 85 whr battery and blueray and I see $764 before taxes. I could do without the 17"
screen but I'd rather have it for traveling as well as the battery life. As for the HD the
speed doesn't effect me and my software that much and I think the power consumption might be
lower but I could be wrong about that.

Thanks for your comments.
