Dell Studio 1537
03/19/2009
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 ...

Dell Studio 15 Laptop Review
12/18/2008

Dell Studio 15

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.
