Dell Studio 14 first peek: Like the Studio 15, but smaller

The laptop is fast for a 14-inch machine, but American and European release dates and prices aren't yet known.

Dell's Studio line of laptops is intended to be more upscale than its classic Inspiron line, and while you might hold out for the mysterious Adamo ultraportable laptop if classy is what you're all about, here's another option. The Dell Studio 14, a 14-inch entry into the line, has just appeared on the Malaysian Dell store and it's likely to hit North America and Europe before long.

Like its 15 and 17-inch older brothers (and its 13-inch half-brother), the Studio 14 packs some hardware punch without going overboard. It comes with at least a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor (and as much as 2.6GHz if you want to spend more), 2GB of memory, and a 250GB hard drive for storage. By default it comes with the very slow Intel X3100 integrated graphics chipset. If you're planning on playing a lot of games or watching high definition video (which you might, since a Blu-ray drive is an optional upgrade), you'll want to exchange some extra cash for the vastly better ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3450 graphics card. And of course, like the other Studio models, it comes with a variety of color and design options.

The deal starts at 3,599 RM, or $1,036, but just about any of these minute details could change in the U.S. or European versions. It's probably a lot cheaper than Adamo, so we'll let you know when it shows up outside of Malaysia.
