That’s a good enough config, just ensure you’ve 3-4 GB RAM to go with it. Certain things can only be upgraded during initial stages (backlit keyboard, colour of laptop, etc) but the rest such as hard disk and RAM can be upgraded on any laptop anytime.

Will Intel Core i3-350M processor along with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 – 1G be enough to run latest games without compromising on the game display settings?
Also,does Dell allow it’s users to upgrade their PCs and laptops once their warranty period expires?

I have not need any kind of servicing for my laptop so far. The system is capable enough of playing latest games (I play CoD4: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 on this laptop) without a glitch, at a resolution of 1024×768 or so. Any laptop manufacturer only provides one-year warranty, so nothing sets aparts others in this regard. (You can always buy extra years of coverage from them when you’re buying the laptop itself – which sets Dell apart from others.) A laptop ‘life’ will obviously depend on what configuration you buy, but as a general rule computers and laptops become outdated in around 4-5 years. More than anything, the ability to customize you system on Dell as much as you want is what sets it apart.

hey,nice review.
I too am interested in buying a studio 15 but am a bit confused at this.Just want to know whether it satisfies one’s average daily requirements including a bit of gaming.And yes,life is another topic of concern as by default,they only provide 1 year’s warranty.How much do expect your laptop to live?Also,how many times has your laptop needed any kind of repair or something since August?

Yes, I know the lowest subscore determines the overall. Hmm, you’re right – the documentation doesn’t say what the highest score is. Thanks for pointing that out!

You know I’ve been salivating over a XPS m1550 for the longest time.

The documentation uses 5 as an example. Nowhere does it say that 5 is the maximum on all computers. And the experience index is calculated based on your lowest subscore. So there could be just one piece of hardware the spoils your score.
