    Hi guys, :)
    one month ago I bought for my girlfriend a pretty good Inspiron 1525 with a 1440x900 lcd panel.
    I did a mistake: i ordered it with a Dell wireless N card and it's not as good as an Intel... :(

    Now, I have to buy a new laptop for me and i have seen the new Studio.
    The problem is that for my budget i can buy it just with the 1280x800 panel and i would like to know if it's good or not...
    I can buy a "low resolution" panel but colors and brightness must be good... consider that I do many pics and I always use Photoshop CS3.
    Another doubt is the onboard wireless card: another Dell card and in this case it's not possible to change it... :eek:
    ANd... What about the Studio's height?
    Is it bigger or heavier?

    At the same time I have to say the Studio has a better line and an ATi graphic card I could use to watch 1080p movies...
    With the intel X3100 it's possible just to watch 720p movies...



    Thank you for your good advices :)
