The reason for this good performance can be found under the generously sized maintenaince cover on the bottom of a unit, showing a sturdy magnesium frame. This also applied to picking the device up from the relatively small front edge - the Studio 15 handled this test pretty much trouble free. Although while working with the laptop we did notice minor deformations in the casing, both in the palm-rest area and on the under side, creaking noises remained almost non-existant. At first sight, they could even look a bit like a varnish or moulding defect in the exterior.Īlthough the surface materials are set entirely in plastic, the Dell Studio 15 generally does leave an impression of high quality. On the device itself however, these markings don't always look hugely effective. Selecting the term "topo" for example in the online shop will provide a variation in the base unit design with various heavy lines resembling (as the name suggests) the topographical pattern of a map. Not to fall behind the current trend, if desired, Dell will also factory apply patterns to the high-reflective base unit, similar to the Imprint Finish from HP. Those who prefer a discreter style will probably feel most at home with the black surface, while the more adventurous might be happier with red, orange or green. With a total of eight colours available, almost every aesthetic is taken care of. Aside from its interesting appearance, this arrangement makes both hinges extraordinarily sturdy, due to their larger dimensions.Īs in the XPS models, the colouration of the case plays an important role in the new Studio notebooks too. The biggest marker of this is the creatively distinctive hinge design, by which the closing mechanism is fastened to the unit's edges, making the display fold back behind the base unit upon opening.
