Ok, so after seriously giving up on my old laptop, I decided it was time to upgrade. . .even with the economy in confusion. I have always liked Dell, but always owned uhm, other brands. . . so anyway, I go to dell.com and "build" my computer. you can add anything!! So many options!! and I figure at this point I am making a serious investment, I might as well get everything I want/need because this is the last time I will be making a pc purchase for a while.

Base price for the dell Studio is $595.00 and after some add ons and specials and matching purple bag. I got to $999.00 plus tax.

Less than 2 weeks later I get MY dell delivered. I see the fedex guy carrying 2 boxes labeled dell and all but tackle him to sign for my packages! Poor fella. :) Anyway, I open the box and the laptop is ready to go. Loaded with everything I ordered and has full battery life!

The keyboard has a back light, and the screen is crystal clear. Easy icons are totally helpful and there is so much memory i don't know what I will possibly save to fill the space!

There are multiple ports, my favorite is the photo "chip" port, no more plugs and cords and installations, just the chip, like going to the kodak machine at CVS. Love it!

Anyway, this is really a great product, and I hope this review was helpful. Did I mention they have a rainbow of colors?!?!?! YAY for purple. By the way, it's not a crazy oh my goodness purple, it is a very professional purple.

Oh yeah, the web cam and video cam take awesome pics. Seriously, you know how pc cams are really bad and you can tell they are taken from a computer. . .not with DELL!!
