  • Highly Customizable, Good Overall Cost, Well Designed
  • Relatively Thick For 15.4inch Laptop, Dedicated Graphics Fairly Week Compared to Other Options, Wireless WAN Requires Subscription Service
  • 11/12/08 - Dells Studio 15 laptop is designed as an alternative to the lower cost Inspiron or the more expensive XPS. While it does offer some compelling features and very attractive price, it ends up as a fairly average thin and light system. Dell of...

  • Abstract:  It seems as though PC manufacturers are determined to target every niche possible in the pursuit of more sales. It's a trend led, in many ways, by Dell, who has taken it upon itself to create a laptop range to suit every need. As such there's Vostro for s...

  • When we talk about performances of Dell Studio 1535 we must say that they have two faces. Better one shows itself while using CPU intensive applications because of newest Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.1GHz. Integrated graphics can be used for playing older gam...

  • Positioning of connections, Only displays with reflective surface available, Moderate multimedia performance, Moderate sound output
  • Dell Studio 15With its new Studio series, Dell has been extremely successful in filling the gap between the Inspiron and XPS machines. The Studio models offer reasonable multimedia performance at an interesting starting price. The Studio 15 however will g...

  • Faster performance than other laptops in the same price range; 4GB of RAM; big 320GB hard drive; HDMI output, touch-sensitive media controls.
  • Bulkier than Dells 15-inch XPS and Inspiron models; merely average battery life.
  • The Dell Studio S1535-125B impresses us with its leading performance in the sub-$1,000 category, thanks in large part to a speedy Intel CPU and generous memory allotment. Striking a fine balance between Dells XPS and Inspiron lines, we recommend this ...

  • Beautiful design, Solid selection of available configurations, Reasonable battery life, Nice keyboard, touchpad and media buttons, Great component layout makes for easy upgrades/repair, Good value for the price
  • No lugs/screw posts for VGA cable and no docking station connector, Allinone access cover on the bottom of the notebook is either great or frustrating, HDMI with integrated Intel graphics ... bad move, No option for better graphics than ATI Radeon HD 3...
  • At the end of the day the Studio 15 is a solid offering in the 15-inch consumer notebook category. The build quality, range of customizable options, expandability, style, and price make this an excellent choice if youre in the market for a 15-inch not...

  • battery life compared to earlier Dell systems and some rivals, Dell Dock and Dell Video Chat help out newcomers.
  • Bulky for a designer notebook.
  • and model picksAs the mid-range system Dell intends it to be, the Studio 15 works well: its enjoyable to use for many day-to-day tasks and even holds its own for more serious tasks where an only recently phased-out XPS M1530 would have struggled to k...

  • Great feature set for the money; highly configurable; good overall performance; LED-backlit display
  • Lacks Centrino 2 technology; out-of-date case design; wimpy gameplay
  • Designed to carve out a sweet spot between budget-minded Inspirons and higher-end XPS notebooks, Dells new Studio line delivers a healthy mix of features and options at a great price. Dell still cant get its aesthetics right, but otherwise, the Studi...
