Sure, the Studio 14z might have a new thin design inspired by the Studio 15 and Studio 17 laptops, but despite the thinner profile this notebook still packs a HD (720p/900p resolution) screen, impressive speakers, and up to 500GB worth of hard drive storage. Here's a quick look at the highlights:
New thin (0.79–1.2-inches) design for students who want a combination of power and mobility (Dimensions: 0.79"-1.2" x 13.2" x 9.0" )
Energy-efficient, mercury-free, 14.0-inch 16:9 WLED display with HD resolution (1366x768 or 1600x900)
Intel Pentium Dual Core or Intel Core 2 Duo standard voltage processors up to T9550 (2.66GHz, 1066Mhz FSB, 6MB Cache)
Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
Digital Video/Audio via HDMI and DisplayPort
Standard 1.3MP webcam with dual digital array mics
Starting weight of 4.3 pounds
Standard FastAccess Facial Recognition Software to help prevent unauthorized access to your computer
Optional Phoenix Failsafe Theft Protection to help protect laptop and data in event of theft
Gesture-based touchpad controls to help improve productivity
4W, SRS 2.0 Audio with discrete tweeters and dual headphone jacks
Up to 500GB HDD capacity
Optional 8-in-1 Media Card Reader via 34mm Express Card slot
Six-cell battery standard, optional slim design 8-cell battery for up to 6:46 hours of battery life
Standard Wi-Fi, optional Bluetooth and mobile broadband to connect anywhere
eSATA connectivity for high speed data transfer rate (up to 6X USB 2.0)
PowerShare - Charge your USB-connected cell phone and other mobile devices via the USB 2.0/eSATA combo port even when you’re unplugged from a power outlet
Optional external optical drive options (DVD+/-RW, Blu-ray Disc read-only and read-write drives)
Doing away with the optical drive was a wise choice in my opinion. We all download stuff nowadays. But they could've kept the card reader built-in not an optional add-on.
