    Just ordered a Studio 15 via the Dell Malaysia website. Specs below (minus the stuff that comes with all Dell computers, I think):

    Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6500 (2.10Ghz/800FSB/2MB Cache)
    2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 SDRAM
    500GB SATA Hard Drive
    15.6" High Definition + WLED (1600x900) Display with TrueLife w/camera
    Slot Load 8X DVD+/-RW Drive with DVD+R double layer write capability
    Integrated Stereo Sound with Subwoofer
    6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
    Intel WiFi Link 5100 (802.11a/g/n) Half Mini-card
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 512MB
    Dell Keyboard with Touchpad
    Plum Purple Colour with Black U-Trim
    Silver palmrest
    Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit with free Windows 7 upgrade
    1 Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis
    Dell Wasabi PZ310 Mobile Printer + 4 packs of paper
    Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007

    Total price converted to USD: $872.25

    Was it worth it? I haven't bought a brand-name computer in years (the one I'm on is a DIY custom build), so I wouldn't really know. The RAM is pretty bleh but I'm planning to upgrade that on my own.

    And yeah, I know getting the Dell Wasabi was kinda silly but it was small, pink and on discount (cost $27.70 US), and I'm a girl :eek:

    Looks pretty good for the price. I'd say it's definitely worth it. :)
