Dell Studio 15 Reviews
The Dell Studio 15 is a 15.4″ screen multimedia laptop offered in multiple colors and configurations. The Studio 15 can be equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo and dedicated ATI graphics. It comes with a slot-loading DVD drive, backlit keyboard, sleek drop-hinge design, widescreen glossy display and touch sensitive buttons. Software wise the Dell Studio 15 includes a unique Apple Mac OS X launch dock.
Parsing the intended markets for Dell’s ever-shifting in-house brand names requires a bit of tea-leaf reading, although it’s been easier of late, with the company stripping down its consumer brands to just the Inspiron and XPS lines. Now the company is adding a new line between the budget Inspiron and the high-end XPS. The new Studio line, as personified by the $1,250 15-inch Studio 15, has the same tapered shape, slot-loading optical drive, and rounded hinge as the Dell XPS M1530

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.

The good
Borrows some of the best design features of the more expensive XPS line; built-in media remote control.
The bad
Bulkier than the 15-inch XPS model; just under the wire for new Centrino 2 chips.
The bottom line
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.
