Advantages: Portable, fast, user friendly, reliable and a bargain!

Disadvantages: Occasional problems with the mouse and touch sensitive "buttons".

I was looking for a reliable laptop, with as much memory and RAM as I could afford for under £500. I use the laptop for work, so this was really important. When I came across the Dell Studio 15, I read as many reviews as I could. This one seemed to rate quite highly with other users, although there were certain points other people made which put me off slightly. However, when reading reviews on other brands of laptops, similar issues were occuring.

I decided to take a risk and haven't looked back since! Extremely easy to set up in the first instance and has continued to be user friendly. The keyboard is lovely to type with and the screen is clear. I would rate this as a speedy laptop - I don't find myself waiting around for things to load very much any more. Hurray!

There are a couple of niggles, such as the screen is shiny, so if using outside can be difficult to see. However, this is the same with all modern laptops who are going for the shiny, rather than matt finish to their screens.

The only other things are that the mouse gets stuck occasionally - this is not a problem for me as I generally use an optical mouse with it anyway. The eject button at the top of the keyboard (which is in fact not a button but a touch sensitive symbol) does not work 100% of the time either. However, by ejecting your disk manually from the menu works just as well, so it is not a disaster.

Overall I am extremely happy with this laptop. I use it nearly all day every day and have only suffered with minor niggles. I would highly recommend this laptop.

Summary: Excellent laptop for the price. Would highly recommend!
