Another great feature of this laptop is that it has a 250 GB hard drive that will allow you to get plenty of pictures, files and videos into your laptop. It could take years before you get close to using all of the space that your hard drive provides. Another very important feature of the Dell Studio 17 is its ability to handle optical media. While many computers can burn and play DVD's, the Dell Studio 17 is able to do this quickly and efficiently. A 8X DVD dual read/write machine can read each and every DVD at 8X the normal speed.
One of the difficult downsides of this computer is that it uses Microsoft's Vista operating system. Vista simply does not work well as an operating system, and has not been widely adapted by many users, including businesses. Luckily Microsoft is releasing the new version of their operating system called Windows 7 in the middle of October. This will allow consumers to get the best of Vista with the stability of a new operating system. Most Dell computers, including the Dell Studio 17 include a free upgrade to Windows 7 with the computer. You will receive this upgrade in the mail after Windows 7 is released and can either keep Vista on your computer or insert the DVD to upgrade your computer to Windows 7.
