Dell Studio XPS 435 is a new expandable desktop PC. The system offers an upgrade plan for future expansions.

Dell Inc launched a new desktop PC on Thursday called the Studio XPS 435. It is one of the most expandable computer systems for consumers. The computer is built for performance and lets offers easy upgrade options starting at a price of $1,099.

Dell Studio XPS 435 includes 3 GB of memory and has a 500 GB storage device. Hard drive storage can expand up to 4.5 TB. This is one of the great features for PC video gamers, developers, or those that compose video or want to use it for entertainment. The system is completely expandable.

Dell Studio PCs come with an upgrade option and full warranty.

Another great feature with the new XPS 435 is that all the hardware comes with the price. For example, many high-end computer systems are built and assembled by consumers in an effort to achieve a large system. While the individual hardware components usually cost a ton, Dell offers an upgrade option which includes full service and warranty.

Not only that, but you can't beat Dell's customer service. If anything goes wrong with it, you ship it back for a replacement. There are mixed signals on Dell's service, but overall, it is one of the best in the industry.

The PC comes with the new Intel Core i7 processor which features an 8 MB L2 Cache. The graphics card is the ATI Radeon HD 3650 with 256 MB.

The system comes with an Intel Core i7 processor running at clock speeds of 2.55 GHz. The processor also comes with an 8 MB L2 Cache and Turbo Boost Technology enabled. The video card is the ATI Radeon HD 3650 including 256 MB.

The only thing wrong with the computer specifications is the 475W power supply. This is more about option than anything, but most consumers who build their own high performance computers start out with a 500W. While this shouldn't be anything to worry about, Dell could probably upgrade it. It really depends on what you plan to do with the computer.

We should note that the PC does not come with a monitor. The computer does come with Microsoft Genuine Windows Vista Premium Home edition.

The Studio XPS 435 is more about expandability than anything else. The new PC is now available in the United States and will be available in Asia and Europe by May.
