Dell has updated its Studio 15 notebook

The machine got a bigger display, but at the same time a slower processor.

The changes primarily affected the display, as the previous 15,4-inch display was replaced by a 15,6-inch copy by Dell engineers. Of course, this two-tenth-inch increase is by no means what makes someone replace their existing Studio 15, or may choose to buy it, but the optional maximum resolution of 720p or 1080p can already be considered a compelling argument. Not so much the change to the CPU that Dell has curtailed the performance of the largest processor it can choose from: the Intel Core 2,6 Duo, which has so far had a 2 GHz clock, has been replaced by a 2,4 GHz, also Intel Core 2 Duo type central unit entered. Fortunately, Dell has no longer skimped on graphics performance, as the AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 used so far has been replaced by the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570. The latter component can have 256 or 512 MB of on-board memory, depending on the user's wallet and needs. There has also been a welcome improvement in the background capacity of the hard drive working in the machine, as the 160 GB copy used so far by default has been replaced by a model capable of storing up to 250 GB of data. There has also been an increase in the amount of central memory: instead of the previous 2 GB, Dell now offers 3 GB at a base price. In addition, a memory card reader, a 2-megapixel webcam and an HDMI port are included. Another positive is that, in line with the expectations of the age, a Blu-ray drive can be ordered into the device for an additional surcharge.

The updated Studio 15 is now available for purchase in the UK at a surprisingly friendly price, as the manufacturer asks for only around HUF 150 in exchange for the basic model, but does not exceed HUF 240 for the purchase of the thoroughly extruded version.
