    I assume the new Studio line will be available at retail stores also. Just want to know when will it be?

    I constantly can find much cheaper Inspiron 1525 models at Best Buy than if I configure the same components at Dell, not to mention I don't have to wait for weeks for delivery.

    I read that most retailers will get the new Dell's towards the end of the month, I think it was ~July 25th, not sure though.

    EDIT: I read that a while ago so I could be wrong.

    Word to the wise, buy it from Staples. They have a no questions asked 14 return policy with no restocking fee. ;)

    Everyone else has a 15% restocking fee.

    I thought the news reports said within a few days the retailers would get them.

    just don't get it at best buy. i'm pretty sure that if u do, u are at their mercy and have to have the geek squad repair it if something breaks. dell support won't help u.

    I work at Best Buy... haven't heard anything about the Studio. I'm pretty sure nobody here actually knows what it is in the first place.

    Staples is a much nicer place to look at computers, and generally they have more helpful sales associates. Plus they don't lock their computers up. Even if your on a screen saver that needs a password, just ask an associate for the store # that will clear the problem.

    There is no Staples in the city I live in. Too bad.
