All user reviews for the Dell studio

How long have you use it?

Two months before I had Mac laptops. DELL configuration: P8400 2.4Ghz, 320Gb 5400 rpm HD, ATI HD 4650 512MB Dedis.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I bought a couple, trs Actira by the price ... not even to the sound, just two computers to internet in my house and in my personal studio. I had Apple laptops MacBook Pro enough muscles.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

I tried to curiosities Reaper on one of two Dell with Vista, AntiVir, Comodo Firewall etc etc ... trs not well configured for music. Surprise! Everything worked nickel! And better than Apple! How many crashes Reaper Mac.
Nothing was reported as negative.
To be clear: I do realtime mixing of Reaper, I make surfing with Mozilla, I always open MSN Messenger and Skype as well (sometimes as Second Life) in WIRELESS and everything works without problem. Waiting for the realtime rendering of Reaper I play sometimes with GranPrix (Formula1) <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />

How do you report qualitprix?

For the price of a MacBook (not PRO) I bought two laptops Dell Studio 1555 much better than a "king" MacBookPro (17-inch glossy, 2.5 Ghz processor). I sold the Mac, knowing that it's nice to see alliminium, but with a hardware sub-dimension in relation to price. With the money advanced I bought in a multitude of plugins that run very well with Reaper.
Excellent price quality ratio.
Exprience with, you will do again this choice?

Absolutely YES.

Conclusion

Super computer for a cheap price, less than 600 Euros in the *** MediaW. No crash with sound card and Lexicon U42S
Reaper, even without optimizer Windows Vista 32 bit. More than 30 tracks (on USB hard drive) with lots of effects and virtual instruments Waves, very hungry for resources. It's paradise. Dj dor forget the world of Mac OS X.

I have this laptop (15-inch model) for 1 year is a config 2Ghz with 3GB of ram.
It was at the time of my first laptop purchase, as a result I did not know what to invest, I saw that the site of Dell machines for a pretty fair price and value I tired of trying.
Unfortunately this model has a string of irritating bugs and defects, immediately forget the idea of ​​the computer music with!
The wireless card seems bad assembly parasite sound card! no way to listen to music while surfing at the same time, it was right to be charming crackle every 5 seconds ...
Worse, it is impossible to make a decision because of his impressive latency when recording, I tried to hit with a sound card external usb but nothing happens ...
This pc is really good for nothing, SHIFT different drivers, bios ... have not changed and I do not use qu'occasionellement to the net. Avoid at all costs!
