Dell Studio 1535 Laptop Review

I purchased my Dell Studio 1535 laptop direct from Dell last year. It was a certified re-furbished laptop. I need my laptop mainly for checking email, surfing the web, photo editing and other standard applications (word processing, spreadsheets etc.) And it has worked just perfectly, The screen is big & very clear. My kids have watched movies on it in the car and it worked great. I did get the finger print scanner with mine & that is an aspect that I love. It's just so easy to scan my fingerprint rather than having to type in login info.

I did have a few problems with the laptop. every so often the screen would go red. This gradually got worse as I used the laptop. Also the disk drive would keep trying to eject a disk when there was no disk in the drive. To Dell's credit they took the laptop back, replaced the screen, the disk drive and a few other parts that I can't remember, all in about a week (including shipping time). My poor friend had similar problems with her Mac book and Apple kept her computer for almost a month, and she is still having problems. No problems anymore with mine!

My laptop came with Windows Vista home premuim edition. Vista took some getting used to, and I don't consider my self at all a pro at vista but it didn't take me too long to learn it. (and I am SOOOOO not a techie!)

All in all a great computer, it does what I ask it to do with no issues. & Dell's customer service & warranty is excellent. I know other people have had problems with Dell, but I just got firm with them and it only took 3 phone calls before they took the computer back. (which was less contact than I had to make with a scrapbooking company about my faulty paper trimmer!)
