If you’re looking for a big mean machine that’ll make computing a pleasurable experience, then head no further than the Dell Studio 17 Touch. Almost a desktop-size laptop, this flaunts a 17.3-inch 1,600 x 900 display let loose with multitouch capability. For sheer processing power the 7.08lbs notebook stocks Core i7 processors (also available in lesser variants i.e. 2.1GHz Pentium dual-core T4300 and up), while the storage is managed by up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM and 1TB of 7,200rpm HDD.
The system runs Windows 7 as the OS, quite obvious, while recently previewed Google Chrome OS is still making attitude adjustments with manufacturers to get it up in the hardware by next year. Using GMA 4500MHD graphics, Wi-Fi, several USB ports, a USB/eSATA combo, HDMI and DisplayPort, along with VGA and FireWire, the Dell Studio 17 Touch starts for $899 with a 6-cell battery.
