Dell Studio XPS 16 Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Dell's Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that's generously specified, especially for entertainment, and it has an onsite warranty, too. However, it just misses out on an award because of its unresponsive keyboard.

The Dell Studio XPS 16 is a good-looking entertainment notebook of reasonable build quality and decent portability (considering its size). It packs a stunningly vibrant screen, along with some gaming punch. While it has some minor flaws, particularly the amount of heat it pumps out during gaming, it is a great buy for those who can afford its $2000+ pricetag.

Dell's Studio XPS 16 is squarely aimed at people who want to get a little more for their entertainment buck; it's a solidly built multimedia machine that piles on features without breaking the bank. Dell's Studio XPS 16 looks to be a solid choice for gaming and movies, as well as getting the job done, while keeping costs within reason.

If you're just a typical business user writing email and surfing the web, it can certainly do everything you need but then so can pretty much any other modern laptop. It has a good set of features, looks reasonably attractive, and performs well. It's not too expensive, but then it's not inexpensive either. Just don't plan on watching any Blu-ray movies without the power adapter - or the 9-cell battery at the very least. For most users then, the Studio XPS 16 is a good laptop that's worth a look.

The Dell Studio XPS 16 delivers a lavish media center experience with a unique design, home-theater features, and a vibrant RGB LED widescreen.

The Dell Studio XPS 1640 brings a few of its own innovations to the table. Performance-wise, the 1640 hovers around the top of the line for standard laptops. We hope Dell continues to concentrate on design, because it does a good – if slightly derivative – job.

Dell's new 16:9 Studio XPS 16 adds upscale extras such as a leather trim and a backlit keyboard to a fairly standard set of components, without jacking up the price (too much).

Dell's Studio XPS 16 is a great addition to the growing Studio lineup. It's probably the sexiest 16" notebook we've seen, and it just might be one of the most handsome gaming notebooks / pseudo-desktop replacements to date. There's no doubt that Dell put a lot of effort into making this one look great, and while the style may not work for everyone, we certainly dug it.

Anyone looking for a cutting-edge multimedia notebook should instantly fall in love with the Dell Studio XPS 16. The stylish design and solid build quality combined with excellent performance and great features make this one of the better desktop replacements for consumers. That said, all this style and power comes at a price ... both literally and figuratively. Not only is the Studio XPS line priced above the Inspiron and current Studio lines but the Studio XPS 16 only offers glossy screens which are sometimes extremely difficult to view under direct sunlight. The system also gets extremely hot because of all the hardware packed inside, and the pre-loaded bloatware might be frustrating to some owners.

If our experience with this 16-inch Studio XPS 1640 is anything to go by, then we're happy to report that it's been a pleasant and entertaining one so far. We quite like the nicely spaced backlit keyboard, responsive trackpad and decent speakers. The slot-loaded optical drive also blends in quite nicely with the overall design and the unit retains much of the design of the XPS machines while obtaining a very Studio-like style, so to speak.

Even without its striking design, myriad connectivity options, and multimedia goodies, the Studio XPS 16 would be noteworthy for its screen and keyboard. The price is right, too.

We can't recommend the Dell Studio XPS 16 to everyone because HP's HDX 16 offers a similar feature set at a keener price. However, if you've been hankering after a notebook with desktop quality colour fidelity, then it makes a tantalising proposition - especially when, in the greater scheme of things, the option isn't even that expensive. As such it gets a (qualified) Recommended Award.

The Dell Studio XPS line emphasizes style without sacrificing functionality. These multimedia laptops have a bit of leather trim here, a backlit keyboard there-and a whole lot of plugs, ports, and features packed in...

Now, we got hold of the second representative of the new Dell Studio XPS series for a review. The Studio XPS 16 alias Studio XPS 1640 offers with a 16'' inch display, alternatively in 720p HD or 1080p full-HD resolution, a solid equipment for multimedia applications of all kind. Especially the model with higher resolution panel, which the first time utilizes RGB-LED technology in 'edge-to-edge'-design already known of the new MacBooks, deserves closer attention...
