Dell Studio 15 Laptop Review Summary

Dell markets the Studio 15 Notebook as a mid-range home or small business laptop and fit neatly between the entry-level Inspiron and high-end XPS name-plates. Our community of reviewers agrees that the notebook is a stellar performer. One reviewer lauded the color-customizable 6lbs. notebook saying: “I really like this computer…[I]t has everything I could possibly need, and a whole lot I can't even begin to know what to do with.” Still another stated: “The laptop has a very sleek design, and I opted for the upgraded color cover (as opposed to the standard black) and it gives it a nice professional look.” Dell designed the Studio 15 with a lot snazzy features with a 15.0 – 15.6” TFT active matrix WXGA display, Intel Dual Core processor(s), slot-loaded DVD drive, back-lit keyboard, and up to 320GB HHD. Overall our community of reviewers highly recommends this slickly designed notebook.

About a month ago, my old computer from college finally bit the dust.  I was really excited about getting the latest and greatest in computer technology, but had no idea what exactly that meant.  I spent a lot of time reading user reviews and consumer reports before finally settling on the Dell Studio...

Like I said in the title. Not the best computer or service. I got this computer at the beginning of April. In May I was having problems with it starting. I have a two year warrant. When calling customer service I would talk to two or three people and an hour later I got a person that could address the...

just bought this laptop from Best Buy and I totally love it!! I am still getting used to Windows Vista, but change is good - right?  So far this laptop has shown great speed and ease of use - both tops on my list.  I chose the pretty red face, so I liked that it could be personalized a bit.  The one thing that I am having to get used to is the touch mouse pad - it seems to be reallllllly sensitive, but there is some setting that I probably need to adjust.  I chose to get "face recognition" and it went haywire - recognizing my hubby's face as well - so I didn't like that, because the whole purpose...

I just recently purchased a Dell Studio 15 laptop.  I owned a Dell 600m laptop previously and it lasted me over 5 years, so I had no reservations about purchasing a Dell again.  I have also always had a good experience with the Dell support service, although I did have a higher level warranty purchased on my previous laptop than this new one.

I purchased the laptop through Costco and although I have only had it for a few weeks, I am very happy with it so far.  The laptop has a very sleek design, and I opted for the upgraded color cover (as opposed to the standard black) and it gives it a nice...

The Dell Studio 15 is my constant companion...editing and blogging online calls for a superb cpu and I am so pleased that I purchased this little number.  Dell Studio is a gem, it is super fast and has plenty of harddrive space.  The monitor screen is clear and I am still finding new ways to enjoy this laptop although I purchased about seven months ago.  I'm tickled pink that Dell finally created a pc which everyone can afford and I highly recommend this model for those looking for a new computer or Christmas gift.  The only shortcoming that I could find thus far is the speakers.  No big problem...

The Dell Studio 15 laptop is my daily companion. I write web content, so I'm online nearly all day. When I'm done working, I chat with friends or watch free online videos. I also use VoIP for my home and business phone service and the Studio 15's audio is pretty good.

The only issue I have had with the Dell Studio 15 laptop is the power supply. After having the computer for a few months, I started getting an error message periodically that my system wasn't recogniizing the adapater. At the 8-month mark, the adapter gave up the ghost in part. My computer was fine running off AC but the adapter was...

The Dell Studio 15 is an awesome computer.  It is very reliable and is there when i need it, whether it is for looking up something, doing homework, checking e-mail, or just playing a game.  it is a great looking notebook also.  it has a 15.4 inch wide screen and its features are also awesome.  the price is also great.  it is an affordable bundle that is worth every cent.

this particular computer was on my mind for a long time and i wanted to buy it although i already had a Toshiba.  the difference with the Toshiba was the frame.  the Toshiba had a thick frame and was hard to and almost...

I bought a Dell Studio 15 about a month before i was going off to college, and so far it has stood up to all its cracked up to be. I've had no problems with software, hardware, or viruses. Of course most of that wouldn't deal with just the laptop, but it hasn't even slowed down yet. The pixel quailty is absolutely awesome and the speakers are loud as ever. When i use my VGA cord to watch movies from my computer to the television, I use the speakers from computer still. They are as loud as the tv and just as clear. I would recommend this laptop computer to everybody. I even did to my mom (who bought...

i have this computer for a little while now and have loved its performance as well as the battery life. i use it everyday and love the portability of the laptop but they usually don't last as long as my desktops have. This one seems to be having a great run. the screen is nice and large enough to see clearly. it has ample spots to plug in all my accesories to keep me going where ever i am. the mouse pad works great but i have always prefferred to plug in an exterior mouse just for the ease of use. it has external speakers that are a little quiet but can easilyu be hooked up to headphones or other...

I've had my Studio 15 for about one year and I love it. It is very convient.  I would recommend Dell to anyone. When I brought my laptop, I also purchased a all-in-one printer and a video camera. I love all of Dell products. I have been purchasing Dell products for about 7 years now. Each time I ordered anything from Dell, the customer service representatives are very friendly and helpful. They take their time to ensure that you completely understand everything about your product. Dell associates are very knowledgable about their products, they must trained their customer service representatives...

I purchase a Dell Studio laptop. It came with built in camera, video, cd burner, etc. At first I thought wow this is going to be very confusing and hard to learn to use. As I started to use the camera I found it very easy to use pretty much self explanatory. The camera has lots of fun extras like background, special effects, facial features, etc. I have taken lots of pictures of my kids and pets using these little extras for fun. My kids get a kick out of it. They are 11 and 13 and can also use the camera with ease. They have taken lots of pics for relatives. The cd burner is very neat as well...

Dell Studio 15 Laptop.  This is a great product.  bult in camera gives great quality pictures and video.  I've used this laptop for just about everything.  Writing reports, creating flyers, etc.  I've installed many programs including photoshop CS2, Protools M Powered, firewire 410, audition, adobe premier, etc.  Everything works great and fast, no problems.  fingerprint ID works great.  The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the speakers are horrible.  blackberry cellphone speakers actually sound better.  Other than that, it has 2 headphone jacks (which surprised me) and they...

Purchased a Dell laptop for my college bound son; went straight for the Dell due to the majority of people I spoke to said they are the best for college, easiest to fix, and I trusted the Dell name; my son absolutely loves the laptop but I had to go through the worst customer service nightmare to get it; at the end of my long journey in getting this laptop I wrote the supervisor and told them I would seriously not consider buying a laptop due only to the awful customer service I got; I will not go into details on what all happened, but trust me, it was the worst scenario I could have ever had happen;...
