Pros: Stylish design, Bright, sharp display, Great battery life, Good value

Cons: On the bulky side, Runs warm, Dedicated GPU doesn’t meet expectations ;

Verdict: If only it were lighter it might actually be as smooth as it looks, but at 6.11 lbs (more with the 9-cell battery) you won’t be casually lifting up the studio with one hand to show it off (not that we recommend that anyway). With dimensions of 14â ...

The Dell Studio 15 is a nice looking laptop with some decent firepower at a reasonable price.

Pros: Borrows some of the best design features of the more expensive XPS line ; built-in media remote control

Cons: Bulkier than the 15-inch XPS model ; just under the wire for new Centrino 2 chips

Verdict: Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra dollars for a thinner, lighter XPS.

Pros: Outstanding performance scores. XPS design at Inspiron prices. Highly configurable options. Excellent typing experience. Variety of design options. HDMI-out.

Cons: You'll need the E-Value Code (DNDPUA1). Limited-time offer at this price.

Verdict: Retaining many of the XPS's qualities while selling it for Inspiron prices is what makes this Studio laptop a winner.

Features, performance, price, upgrade options, stylishnessthe Dell Studio 15 has it all.
