Colorful and Well Connected, a Laptop That Stands Out


It’s summer, so why shouldn’t one’s laptop match one’s hot-pink bikini?
Dell’s Studio line comes in seven colors and offers some impressive computing power inside.he laptops, which start at $799, use Intel Core 2 Duo processors and have up to 320 gigabytes of hard drive space. Optional Blu-ray or DVD recording drives ensure you can watch a movie under your beach umbrella, while built-in Wi-Fi, cellular broadband and Bluetooth keep things connected.

The Studio line comes in two sizes with 15- and 17-inch screens, and, like most Dell computers, the laptops can be modified and configured online at www.dell.com. Dell also offers color-coordinated accessories like bags and mice.

The laptops, available Thursday, weigh about eight pounds and are about an inch thick. They include a card reader and optional HDMI video output, and run Windows Vista.

You can opt for a staid graphite gray if colors like plum purple and ruby red fail to match your corporate color scheme. But Crockett and Tubbs from “Miami Vice” will especially enjoy the flamingo pink version. (JOHN BIGGS-The New York Times)
