Dell har precis som de flesta PC-tillverkare kastat sig över Intels nya Core i7-plattform i ren frenesi men när man nu lanserar ännu en Core i7-baserad PC är det med en ny vinkel. Den stationära Dell Studio XPS ska vara riktad mot en bredare kundkrets där prestandan ska vara hög men där priset fortfarande ska ligga på rimliga nivåer. Priset på Studio XPS startar vid drygt 8000 kronor och då får man en Intel Core i7 92 processor, 2GB RAM, 500GB hårddisk, Radeon HD 3450 grafikkort och andra standardkomponenter.
