Price: $649It has been quite some time since Dell released their last 14-inch consumer notebook, but Dell is back with a vengeance with the all new Dell Studio 14z laptop. The Studio 14z is the thinnest and lightest 14-inch notebook Dell has ever produced, promising more than 6 hours of battery life, powerful video performance, and available in more than 120 different designs just in time for back-to-school season. I recently spent some hands-on time with a pre-production unit of the Dell Studio 14z so that I can give you a first look at what makes this laptop special before we get our hands on a final review unit. Without spoiling the surprise too much, Dell might have just made the most popular laptop for college students this year.
