Advantages: Good spec, reasonable price, great processor Disadvantages: The piano black surface attracts dust and dirt.
the dust the way the piano black plastic does - however that's a small quibble. The screen is widescreen and measures 15.6 inches and overall it's pretty lightweight and easy to carry about if you wish to do so.
So - what came in the box?
As well as the laptop there was an instruction manual, mains lead, Dell restoration CD-ROMs and a CD-ROM for Works 9.
The laptop had Windows Vista Premium pre-installed - and I worried that this might be a challenge for me as it was my introduction to Vista - however setting the machine up was a piece of cake.
I merely switched it on and dealt with a few prompts as Vista set up and then the computer was up and running. It has wifi installed and this picked up my wireless connection without any problems - and once I entered the security details for my network we were home and dry and online in no time!

Advantages: in my case none Disadvantages: dealing with a faceless organisation
I have been trying to purchase a laptop from Dell and you would think they would be keen to get business, but no, twice now they have cancelled my order with no notification to me.

Advantages: sleek looks, nice screen, comfy keyboard, well positioned ports etc Disadvantages: media buttons hard to find,
I've had a Studio 1535 for about a year now and that's given me plenty of time to get a good idea of how this laptop works.
The first thing I really liked about the machine was that Dell allow you to customise pretty much every aspect when you order online. I was able to maximise both the hard drive size (300Gb) and the RAM (4Gb) as I consider these to be essential for me. I also ordered the larger battery pack which, although it makes the machine heavier, does give me 5 hours of battery life for lighter tasks and doubles as a heat sink by raising the machine up and allowing air to flow underneath to cool it.
Now you might not need specs as high as mine, and the beauty of the online build is that you can choose as wide or narrow range of specs as you need and not pay any more or less than you want to.
Once the machine arrived and I ...
