Performance-wise, the Dell Studio 15 is very close to the top of its class. A lot of this depends on the customization options, but considering the general $1,200 model. The Studio 15 outperformed the MacBook Pro, Inspiron and XPS by a healthy margin. There is not much of a difference in any of these laptops if considering basic features like net surfing, e-mail, or word processing.

The Studio 15’s performance down falls when it comes to its video card and gaming. However its capacity of running the latest games on certain setting, that setting normally won’t be the highest, and the performance will not be the bets as well.

The 6 cell battery last up to 3.2 hours, while playing video it last up to 3 hours. If one is not happy with that perforce the option of upgrading to 9 cell battery is also available at about which provides battery life of about 5 hours.

The performance offered by the Dell Studio 15 is impressive enough, and mixed with the cool design and set of features one won’t be disappointed. The cost is also very reasonable considering the high quality features. If one wants to buy a medium to high range laptop the is the most suitable option is the Dell Studio 15.
