    Does anyone here own a Dell Studio 15? If so, Could you post some pics of it, your specs, and How well it performs with those specs.

    I doubt anyone who's ordered a studio has received it yet since it only came out a week ago.

    Indeed! :D

    I ordered mine in Graphite Grey with the intent to repaint it. The other shells were matte finish.

    I might paint it as soon as it gets here since my car is going into the shop this week. :D

    I got mine in the jet black as I wasn't prepared to pay £30 ($60!) extra for a different paint job on my computer. :p

    S-Video to HDMI converter?

    I reordered my jet black Studio 15 (due to confusion with the backlit keyboard) on 1/7/08. As of today it’s still in this rather annoying Phase 2 called ‘Pre Production’. It’s probably been almost 3 years since I ordered a pc from Dell as I have being using desktops I have built meself for a while. Dell seems to have really changed. Anything I used to order back then be it desktop or laptop usually arrived at my door no more than 5 days after clicking confirm order. Now it seems that this pre production wait is the norm. Very disappointing. Much longer and I am going to cancel and buy a HP etc.

    Hi everyone - I ordered mine June 30th, and its been in "Production" since July 1st. I guess they may not even have some of the parts for my configuration. I am also the type of person who looks at the order status a lot throughout the day :)

    I got mine in plum purple, I may end up getting a skin to go over it through, the place I got my iPod skin has the laptop version... I am just waiting to get it and confirm the measurements :)

    Plum Purple, now I want to see a live pic of that!

    My Studio 15 just arrived!!!!!!!!! It's BEAUTIFUL! It's still very slim in my opinion. Very sturdy! The Graphite finish is amazing, I have to reconsider my idea of painting it.

    Will post pics tonight. :D

    Am I the first to get the Studio 15 on NBR?

    Hi!

    I'm VERY VERY interested to see the pics!
    You also could do us all a favor: test it and write down your review ;)

    My questions so far, if you would be so kind to answer:

    - How is the SOUND of the notebook? Is there an integrated Mini-Subwoofer perhaps? Or does music sound like out of a can?

    - If you close the notebook, is there a closing lock? Like a "snap" or something?
    I mean to prevent it to open itself (in a bag or something)

    - How far can you open the notebook? Pics?

    - Where is the fan and in which direction the air goes out?

    The look and feel, and also the technical arragangements are very important for me - and i want to order a Studio 15 also, so if you could send me as many many pics as you can, i would be sooooo glad and thankful :)

    I'm checking the internet like every few minutes to see pictures from the Dell Studio 15 from users who buyed it...

    Greetings, Murphy!
