    Do you think getting one at staples (specifically the Studio 17) is better than customizing one on line? Do they have the different colors at Staples?

    Went to staples this afternoon, they didnt have any 17"only the 15". The only customization they offer is the color. It is a very cool looking laptop. they had a pretty good set up, depending on your needs.

    I saw the Studio 15 at Staples this weekend and was very surprised at the over all poor build quality. The keyboard was extremely spongy and had an overall cheap feel to it. The screen was very flimsy/bendable when opening and closing, and I noticed the palm rest was uncomfortably hot. JMO

    I might stop into a staples and look at one of these.

    I am quite surprised that there is such a difference between the keyboards on these things. My 1420 keyboards are much better quality (NMB) than the keyboard on my 1520 (unidentifiable).
