Advantages: reasonably priced, polite customer support Disadvantages: careless setup of drivers, very lousy laptop speakers!!
bought a studio 15 laptop...it was upgraded version so took them about 3 weeks to deliver
The bluetooth and BluRay drives weren't working properly...after many emails and fiddling around with laptop's screws and reformatting following email instructions then I got a call to sort out the bluray...it was finally sorted.
These were little probs that didn't bother me too much so I wasn't chasing Dell up daily, it did get sorted about 4 months later (after date of purchase). I think the laptop should have been tested and setup with updated drivers then I wouldn't have had this hassle and bad experience with an otherwise glitch free (so far...a year later!) system!!
Overall the customer service department were polite and did their best to be helpful.
I was asked to fill out a survery later so maybe they've improved their system ...
Advantages: Quiet, Good looking Disadvantages: Button under the dvd draw
After weeks of searching the internet for a new computer, I finally settled for the Dell Studio 540. I have owned this computer for a little over two months now, and have to say, that I am quite pleased with it?s performance. When it was delivered it was well packed, and all the glossy parts of the base unit were covered with protected covering, which takes a few moments to peel off.

Once I plugged it in, the first thing I noticed was how quite it was compared to my old pc, the first few seconds it?s just a wee bit loud, but even that is still quieter than my old pc, but it soon settles down to just a whisper. If there are any gripes with this pc then it as to be the button that is pressed to open the dvd tray. Opening the tray is ...

Advantages: Funny, realistic. Good special features Disadvantages: Not for the politically correct
minute episodes there are a number of special features in the set which are actually entertaining to watch and add to the boxset rather than just being filler. The four audio commentaries are as entertaining as the episodes, full of banter with insight into the thinking behind Ideal. The blooper reel is genuinely funny and made me wonder how they ever managed to complete a single episode, but my favourite was the ?Ideal interview?, where writer Graham Duff introduces the main characters while in the guise of Brian. The ?making of? is also above average, showing the development of the programme and the great rapport between the actors and production team. According to the case there are also deleted scenes, but as yet I?ve been unable to find them.
Presentation
Ideal Season 1 is presented over two discs in a standard DVD case, this ...
