Dell Studio 15 - A fantastic laptop!

Advantages: Design, Battery Life, Quality, Customisable
Disadvantages: Media buttons hard to see in dark

...have used. The battery charger can sometimes get a little hot, although this is only after a long charge. Incidentally, it is quite quick to charge. I have always found Dell to be quick and easy to contact, should any problems arise. I also like the fact that their laptops are customisable, and so you can choose whether or not to have a webcam, more memory, etc. Excellent prices too. We have personally owned 3 Dell laptops, while I use Dell PCs at college, and can say that they are of good quality and durability. Highly recommended, would definately buy again!...

Review of Dell Studio 15

Dell Inspiron 1545 - good entry level laptop

Advantages: Cheap, good brand, lots of features,
Disadvantages: Probably not powerful enough for games, bottom of the market now

...of writing, a current example from PC World costs £430 and has a 2GHz dual core processor, 3 GB memory and a 160GB hard drive and has a DVD rewriter and webcam. I've been using Dell Inspiron laptops for a few years, so when my family told me a few months ago that they needed a new laptop, I picked a Dell Inspiron 1545 for them. A key motivation for me was the certain knowledge that I would be the main technical support person if anything went wrong with their computer. In the few months they have had it, I've only had to help them out a couple of times. One of these problems did require a reinstall of Vista (something I haven't had to do on my own machine), but that proved to be easy to do - I just used the DVD that came with the computer, left it running overnight and in the morning, it was all working again, with the bonus that none of my...

Dell Studio 15

Advantages: Adequate features, upgrade options available

...Let again my target of review is popular 15.4" series laptop and I am trying to write review on Dell laptop third time.

Review of Dell Studio 15

Dell's solid performance laptop

Advantages: beautiful design, wide range of configurations, good battery life, fast
Disadvantages: no HDMI audio, blows hot air from fan

...Dell studio 15 is a 15.4" dell laptop which has a good range of features and a handy specifications. The price of this laptop is $800 in the market which is good because of the wide range of specification and features. Build and design: Studio 15 is a little heaver than other notebooks in its class like the studio 17 which was a 17" laptop had less weight as compared to the studio 15. While the design of the notebook gives it the appearance that it's rather thick but it is of the same thickness that other 15'' laptops are. Its weight is however fine as 15" laptops are. But can be considered heavy in its studio class. The weight is 6.1 pound (2.8KG). The design of this laptop is similar to the some XPS laptops so you can think how good it must look like. Screen: The screen is a 15.4" WXGA (1280x800 resolution), The screen looks...

Review of Dell Studio 15

The dell inspiron laptop is it a good buy!

Advantages: The look of the dell inspiron laptop seems more classy then other notepads. It is simplistic.
Disadvantages: Maybe Dell Have gone too simplistic with this model as the features are nothing to rave about

...The Dell inspiron laptop has an attractive classy look, it has a simplistic stream-line look. When I take it out its case I feel good about it because its not a big bulky embarassing computer thing. However, if your one for keeping everything clean and tidy and no smudges anywhere, then maybe you might be irritated by this laptop. With its glossy look smudges, smears and fingerprints stand out like a sore thumb. You feel like your constantly wiping it. You also have to watch what you wipe the laptop with as it is quite easy to scratch. A better idea for Dell would be to provide a cloth to clean it with, one they know wont damage your laptop. It would be a real bummer to scratch it while cleaning it. I also decided to get the colour black because there wasnt a lot of colours to choose from which I found quite dissapointing as...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell XPS M1530 laptop

Advantages: Great feature set, fast, GFX card, HDMI out
Disadvantages: keyboard/touchpad could be better

...previous 3Ghz XP based laptop but they're in the minority and I suspect more being influenced by Vista's foibles than any lack of power in the laptop itself. Most applications ran quite happily though. With the HDMI connected to a TV it managed to play HD material with only the odd judder so for that, it's borderline. Things did improve slightly with Vista SP1 though. Conclusion The Dell XPS 1530 series can be had from around £499+VAT upwards depending on options. For this you get a great chassis packed with features that really set it apart from the budget offerings that litter the supermarket shelves at £300 or so. Yes it costs more but you certainly get what you pay for and after a month of use, I'm very happy with the Dell XPS M1530. The HDMI output and screen are the personal highlights and appearence wise it impresses - I've had...

Review of Dell XPS M1530

well designed little dell that never gets hot

Advantages: cool and quite robust trackpad, good display,64-bit windows 7
Disadvantages: few connectors,dell drivers only, not realy for gameing (most models), finger print prone!

...We got the Dell insperon as a replacement for our trusty old Toshiba laptop we did want a red dell studio but budgetary reality kicked in and we went for this insperon 1545, here's my review for it. Laptop specifications improve all the time, so I wont go on to much about the spec and concentrate more on the laptop as a whole. Now if your new to laptops or computers in general i`ll give you a bit of buying advice. If you want to buy a dell laptop from there website DON'T buy the cheapest £299 model it`s a false economy, there isn't enough memory (just 1GB of ram) witch will mean that it wont be as quick as it could be moreover you will find that it will get slower as you start to fill it up with apps. ALWAYS buy the next model up if you are after a cheap laptop as you get a lot more for your money (as well as sufficient memory). build...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell Studio 540MT

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. Everything was pre-installed so I didn?t need to use the enclosed windows vista operating disc, or drivers. 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...

Review of Dell Studio 15

Inspiring Inspiron from Dell

Advantages: Good spec, reasonable price, great processor
Disadvantages: The piano black surface attracts dust and dirt.

...I purchased the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop back in January for my daughter's birthday. I had a limited budget but wanted to get her something with decent enough spec for playing computer games should she wish to do this, and a large hard drive as she is a big fan of making videos on her digital camera and downloading music - two things which can eat up hard drive space. I did a fair bit of research before purchasing and decided I wanted to get the best spec I possibly could for my money and the Inspiron ticked all the boxes. I paid £399 in January 2009 in Currys for the laptop which was the absolute limit on my budget. The Dell I purchased has a dark blue coloured lid, however the rest of it is a shiny piano black which looks lovely. I would have preferred metal for the mousepad area - it feels sturdier and doesn't seem to attract...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell Studio 17 Laptop.

Advantages: Great machine for small price.
Disadvantages: None

...This is the most affordable Laptop computer ever.. Dell Studio 17 the price is right about $380.00 Where in these days you can get a Note Book Computer with this kind of money? The Studio 17 is as attractive or desirable as an XPS laptop, but it is more appealing than an Inspiron. With that in mind, it achieves its objective: to be cheaper than an XPS without sacrificing too much in the way of looks. Yes indeed there are better replacement machines available, but the Studio 17 hold its own with most. With than in mind we are talking about /or $370.00- $380.00 price range. This machine is powerful, effective, good looking, light weight and easy to handle. The scree is wide and rezolution is fantastic. These days it's just doesn't pay to spend too much money on computers because tomorrow they will become absolite. So you spend...
