As someone who just purchased a Studio 15 last week, I'm not seeing a huge difference between that and the 15z except that the 15z is a little lighter and a little pricier. If I were making the decision today I'd probably opt for the 15z, but I do wonder what Dell was thinking making two such similar machines unless they're getting rid of the Studio line completely.
@Toastie: It's a Gateway from 1998 I found on the side of the road and had been sitting in the open bed of the farm pick up for 3-4 months now. So def. saving of the cash. Also, since three of the panels are plastic, I'm going the spraypaint route.
This is the color of the room it's going in:
I am contemplating horrible pinstripes as well......
Total ripoff, after 7 months you have already paid more than the netbook costs now. AT&T is ridiculous. Why would I pay $60 a month, for a netbook internet service. My monthly cable internet, which I get wi-fi from doesn't even cost that much.
@Wicked1: The fact that it's AT&T aside, the cumulative amount that you end up paying during the span of the contract is not the same as paying that much money for the hardware itself, unless you never use the service, but keep paying the bill. I pay more than $60 each month for my cell phone on T-Mobile's cheapest plan.
Your monthly cable service may be cheaper, but you can't actually take it with you if you move about with your laptop outside.
