I'd say one reason it is cheap is because the display is not Full HD. However Apple should lower their prices a bit... especially on the polycarbonate MacBook.]]>Nov 19th 2009 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/Nov 19th 2009 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/
Yeah I know the only one to have it is the 17 incher.

Haha well it's Apple what do you expect?

I usually use my Studio 15 for school and it's quite heavy enough already including my books and notebooks. The Studio 17 isn't something I would like to carry around. For my purposes as a student, I think that if they had a Studio 15 with a touchscreen I'd be going for that, but I don't see use in having a 17 inch laptop with a touchscreen?

It would be nice if someone could give me some thoughts on why you would want a 17 inch touchscreen laptop, as I'm not quite sure. Perhaps if it were a tablet PC but otherwise, 17 inches is a bit much in my opinion.

That said, the prices are very reasonable for a very decent laptop. You can get a Studio, as MarcusMaximus has kindly shown, for about the same price as a 15" Macbook Pro that would perform far better. Really only one thing keeps the Studio from being ideal, and that is my poor experience with build quality. Hinges fail miserably, and the outer plastic that holds the screen in place literally snap apart, as they aren't screwed down just snapped on.

That's my 2 cents.]]>Nov 19th 2009 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/Nov 19th 2009 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/Nov 19th 2009 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/Nov 19th 2009 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/Nov 19th 2009 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/dell-lets-loose-studio-17-laptop-with-multitouch-display/
