Advantages: reasonably priced, polite customer support Disadvantages: careless setup of drivers, very lousy laptop speakers!!
bought a studio 15 laptop...it was upgraded version so took them about 3 weeks to deliver
The bluetooth and BluRay drives weren't working properly...after many emails and fiddling around with laptop's screws and reformatting following email instructions then I got a call to sort out the bluray...it was finally sorted.
These were little probs that didn't bother me too much so I wasn't chasing Dell up daily, it did get sorted about 4 months later (after date of purchase). I think the laptop should have been tested and setup with updated drivers then I wouldn't have had this hassle and bad experience with an otherwise glitch free (so far...a year later!) system!!
Overall the customer service department were polite and did their best to be helpful.
I was asked to fill out a survery later so maybe they've improved their system ...
Advantages: Quiet, Good looking Disadvantages: Button under the dvd draw
After weeks of searching the internet for a new computer, I finally settled for the Dell Studio 540. I have owned this computer for a little over two months now, and have to say, that I am quite pleased with it?s performance. When it was delivered it was well packed, and all the glossy parts of the base unit were covered with protected covering, which takes a few moments to peel off.

Once I plugged it in, the first thing I noticed was how quite it was compared to my old pc, the first few seconds it?s just a wee bit loud, but even that is still quieter than my old pc, but it soon settles down to just a whisper. If there are any gripes with this pc then it as to be the button that is pressed to open the dvd tray. Opening the tray is ...

Advantages: Original classic comedy Disadvantages: None
The Simpsons - Classics - Springfield Murder Mysteries is a compilation of Simpsons episodes with a recurring theme. The theme for this DVD is murder, so expect some black comedy. Episodes included are "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part 2)", "Black Widower" and "Cape Feare".
"Who Shot Mr. Burns?" is the first and, so far, the only Simpsons episode to be split into two parts. It deals with Mr. Burns, who steals oil right from underneath Springfield Elementary, which in turn destroys the retirement home and closes down various business (including Moe's bar). To cap it all off, he decides to block out the sun, so the town will use more of his electricity. Suddenly there's a bang, and Burns slumps down on the sundial. Who did it?
As this was the end of the sixth season and the beginning of the seventh, there was a long ...
