Dell Studio S1535-143B

By (cnet.com)

Better battery life than its predecessor, thanks to extended-cell battery ; 4GB of RAM and big 320GB hard drive ; HDMI output, touch-sensitive media controls

Big, unwieldy battery adds bulk and weight ; slightly clacky keyboard

The Dell Studio S1535-143B strikes a fine balance between Dell's XPS and Inspiron lines, offering good looks and decent performance for less than $1,000, even if the previous model had a slightly better processor.

Touch pad variable sensitivity. Left click button short circuit makes computer do things you don't desire. HDMI output fails to transmit audio. DVD drive unpredictably and unexpectedly ejects DVD. Very poor sounding weak speakers.

"One great buy; the Studio 15 is an excellent laptop!"

By samusgravity (cnet.com)

*Just to say: My laptop has a 250 GB HD, but ... 

Fast Boot up times, fast in general, no latch on cover (magnet-like), finger print reader and webcam are excellent, Integrated graphics card is good but not excellent, 64-Bit Vista. Excellent design, speakers are better than imagined

The touch keys take about 5 minutes to work after the laptop boots. The touch-pad is wacky.
