Dell The range Studio 'first laptops started the year last as studio 1535, but to keep things fresh PC giant has updated its 15in public offering with the studio in 1555 (15 for short) before us today. Mainly this is to make the transition to a 16: aspect 15.6in display 9, but it has also been one or two design settings, new features and added hardware options, so it is a little more that a mere change of scenery [
be a Dell studio 1555 can be configured to suit all kinds of budgets. For example, if you select the more expensive options available, you could pay almost £ 1,800! This will net an impressive spirit of the machine, with some superior options including a full HD display, a backlit keyboard, up to 8GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive and a Blu-ray player Re -graveur. Conversely, in its most basic form, you could pay as little as £ 449 and still get what we consider a decent budget machine.
Our review unit found a happy medium between the two. On a normal trading day, it would cost around £ 1,040, if at the time of writing Dell is running a special offer that would bring this down to a market of £ 763. Dell's price is still subject to fluctuations, so it is worth keeping an eye on what happens.
For this you get an Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz, which put 1555 firmly on the desktop replacement territory. This is joined by 4GB of DDR2 800MHz RAM, a 320GB 7,200rpm hard drive and 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570. Given these characteristics, this system should be a very quick artist, something we will put in test later.
other non-standard features in our system include Bluetooth, Draft-N Wi-Fi and backlit keyboard, but we were a little disappointed to find the display is the standard 1366 x 768 effort not the £ 70 1,920 x 1,080 options - an update, we highly recommend. As always it is the beauty of buying from Dell, because anyone who does not Bluetooth or a backlit keyboard could easily pass on a better screen or save money.
Sure, but how much you spend, you will always have the same basic chassis and the same abundant connectivity options. Most of it is located on the left edge, with HDMI and VGA for video, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a combo eSATA / USB port, a dedicated USB port, mini FireWire, and audio jacks trio (1 x input line, . 2 x line out) all well integrated
further to the right is a 34mm ExpressCard slot - below which is the multi-format card reader - another USB port and the power input. Just above the power input is a small white LED to show when the system is in charge, which is uniquely the only light activity on the machines bar backlit power button on the hinge. Our only complaint on the side of the connectivity of things is the lack of USB ports supply of aid, which is a feature increasingly common and very useful for charging mobile devices.
