Dell Studio XPS 1340 Laptop Reviews

Stylish and sleek, the NEW Dell Studio XPS 1340 laptop is designed to deliver the knockout multimedia features youll want to take with you everywhere. From the optional genuine leather accents to near-seamless design, every facet of your laptop reflects elegance and beauty. And the 13.3″ edge-to-edge display and performance graphics make your online experience come to life.

Dell has released 2 new laptops today: the 13.3-inch Studio XPS 1340 and 16-inch Studio XPS 1640. The standard features for both laptops includes the latest Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, up to 128GB solid state drive or 500GB of hard drive, 2MP web camera, stereo speakers, 802.11n wireless connectivity, optional Bluetooth, and support for AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon mobile broadband.

For $1,199 in the US, both machines come loaded with Core 2 Duo P8400 processors, Vista Home Premium, 1366×768 WGA screens, 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, a 320GB hard drive, a slot-loading DVD burner and dedicated graphics – the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G on the Dell Studio XPS 1340 battery and the impressive ATI Mobility RADEON M86XT graphics (equivalent to the Mobility HD 3670) on the 16. They also get HDMI and eSATA as standard.

The base spec may be tasty, but so are some of the options. Top of our shopping list for the 16 is the potentially stunning, $250 optional, FullHD RGBLED LCD display with 1920×1080 resolution. That baby boasts RGBLED 16.7 million colours with 100 percent of the color gamut the 40 to 60% most manage. That should make this the laptop for Blu-Ray movies and gaming with super vibrant colours, a 130-degree viewing angle and a fast 8ms response time. Drool.

Processor: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 Memory: 4GB RAM Storage: 320GB hard drive Optical Drive: DVD±RW Screen: 13.3 inches Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 9400M G integrated Weight: 4.8 pounds Dimensions (HWD): 1×12.6×9.3 inches Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) Value worthy competitor for MacBook and MacBook Pro. Compact yet powerful. Will surely please most in the market for a small and powerful laptop. This is not for gaming.

It’s Dell’s attempt to go slightly more high-end, but without breaking the bank. That means an eye-catching case of ‘obsidian black’ plastic and faux leather, a backlit keyboard and a choice of  Studio XPS 1340 battery or 16-inch WXGA LCD screen, depending on your choice of model.

Aside from that, much is the same for both, which means Core 2 Duo processors and a base option (for the 1340) of Vista Home Premium, a 2 megapixel webcam, 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, 320GB of storage, a slot-loading DVD burner and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G graphics. If you opt for the larger 1640, the NVIDIA chip is replaced by ATI Mobility RADEON M86XT for the graphics.
