    Dell Introduces Special Edition Studio 15
    [​IMG]
    Dell introduced a limited run Special Edition version of its Studio 15 notebook today. The most noticeable difference versus a standard Studio 15 is the "Black Vapor" exterior finish. Other than that, the Special Edition version has the same specifications as the standard Studio 15. It comes standard with a higher-resolution 15.4" display (1440x900 pixels) with LED backlighting. The three configurations range from $799 - $949 and are available directly from Dell.

    Basically the only difference is the outside look.

    Yeah, I was about to say that this was posted early - interesting that you got an early sneak-peek at it :)

    It does look better than the stock Studio though. Not bad.

    lol, and don't forget to spin around twice and do a handstand and it should then show up on the website. Sheesh, why some retail websites are so hard to find something makes you wonder if their aim really is to sell things.

    Not if the build quality is not good.
    Those consumer shiny laptops never impress me. Average build quality.
    Dell did a good job with the Inspiron 1520. Too bad, people choose to give up quality over weight.
