  • It means the shape and size looks odd in places. The keyboard l...

  • Abstract:  Dells Studio 17 is the cheapest desktop-replacement laptop here at just under £900, but it looks more expensive thanks to its decorated lid. Oddly, theres no latch or other mechanism to keep the lid closed. Despite its price, the Studio 17 is gene...

  • Big and tough enough to look after itself, it will easily stand up to the demands of a full family battering it day in day out. What's more, it's superhero powerful, making it easier to consign your old desktop PC to the recycler. Best offers for...

  • Abstract:  The Studio series neatly dovetails in between two well liked product lines and certainly lives up to its name in the choice of colours and styles for the lid, but it could do with a boost in the gaming department. Dell - Studio 17 price Buy Dell Studi...

  • Good value; easy to personalise; HDMI output; 5 USB ports
  • Odd texture on mouse trackpad; Limited hard drive options
  • The Studio 17 is by no means as attractive or desirable as an XPS laptop, but it is slightly more appealing than an Inspiron. With that in mind, it achieves its objective: to be cheaper than an XPS without sacrificing too much in the way of looks. The...
