Dell anuncia Core i7 em três notebooks

Os processadores Intel Core i7 são animais, como já sabemos. A Dell (e a sua marca Alienware) está lançando uma nova linha de laptops e desktops para tirar proveito da potência e das capacidades dos i7.

Não há grandes mudanças no Studio 15, no Studio 17 ou no Studio XPS 16. Eles mantêm o mesmo estilo e boa parte das especificações – mas o chip Core i7 e (no Studio 17 e no Studio XPS 16) as novas placas de vídeo devem fazer com que eles tenham desempenho melhor do que a linha atual.

O Dell Studio 17 é um equipamento focado em multimídia, com tela de 17,3 polegadas e sistema de som 2.1, além de placa de vídeo ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 de 1 GB e bateria de nove células. Esse desktop replacement custará a partir de US$ 1.100, e seu corpo será um pouco mais magro do que o do modelo atual. A Dell ainda nos informou que haverá uma opção com touchscreen com multitoque ainda neste ano.

O Studio 15 também ganha atualização, com o mesmo processador Intel Core i7 720QM a 1,6 GHz do Studio 17 e placa de vídeo ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 de 512 MB. Custará a partir de US$ 1.000. Finalmente, o Studio XPS 16 terá as mesmas especificações do Studio 17, mas em um formato menor, com tela de 15,6 polegadas. Preços a partir de US$ 1.250. [Dell Laptops]
