I have the Studio 17 and am enjoying it. It's absolutely silent compared to my old E1705. The graphics card is definitely better than the one in the Studio 15 - but it depends what you're using the computer for (gaming and such would...
The dell studio 16 is actually the XPS Studio 16.. I doubt they'd replace an E1705 with one. I'm pretty sure the Studio 17 is the norm. You can try to request an XPS system though - it couldn't hurt. I didn't get the light up...

I have issues with purchasing a computer from dell outlet, so that's not an option... and I don't have the cash to upgrade. I appreciate the suggestions, but that wasn't why I created this thread. All that I want to know is if the...
