    Yeah I saw that on the site where it says it has ATI Graphics but no option for it right now. Hopefully they won't make us wait to long for that option.

    Just posted elsewhere asking if any chance of this - great news!

    But: Am in the Uk - so wait for at least a few more weeks.

    Want to check if the weak speakers and sound of previous model has been addressed - is this possible?

    And, when it's out, does Dell usually post it's discounts in any predictable way?

    thanks!

    Speakers on the 1750 don't look like much but not sure what kind of sound you'd expect to get from a budget notebook! ;)

    I'm almost certain that it's contradictory because the older studio15's did have some serious sound problems; they seemed to have been fixed in the 1555 version.

    I should be getting mine today; so i'll let you know how the sound is!

    Brilliant - that would be great. I guess I just can't stand flakey sound!

    thanks

    My 1555's sound is good for a laptop. Sounds actually have a discernable bottom end. Not that you're going to get much out of a 3 Watt 1-inch diameter subwoofer, but hey, it's better than nothing.
