Reviews for the Dell Studio 1458

That rant is essentially neither here nor there, though: Dell can really only equip their notebooks with what's available, and odds are good that jumping to a 5650 would've put too sizable a dent in that impressive battery life and perhaps generated too much heat for the chassis to handle. The rest of the Studio 14 is exceptionally well-rounded: quiet, powerful, flexible, portable.

The new Dell Studio 14 combines best performance with a very good design. It has nice feature sets and sells for an attractive price. A great 14-inch all-purpose laptop for the home.

It was time for new laptop, donated old Dell XPS M170 to family member. My first impression was it was a little larger and heavier than I imagined.I enjoy using the system and would buy it again.

14.00":
There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
