Reviews for the Dell Studio s15z-2249CPN

70% Dell Studio s15z-2249CPN bundle
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
Like the Sony VPCS111FM/S and the Toshiba E205-S1904, the Dell Studio s15z-2249CPN is an exclusive Best Buy Blue Label laptop. This doesn't mean that it's the most powerful or has every possible feature. The Blue Label systems are a Best Buy exercise in giving the people what they want, designed around a list of customer feature requests. The Dell Studio s15z-2249CPN is a worthy mainstream laptop that aims to satisfy a lot of what consumers crave.

60% Dell Studio 15z
Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
This lightweight 15-inch notebook offers good performance and Intel’s wireless display technology in a sleek package. For just under $1,000, the Dell Studio 15z offers a lot of power in a thin (if polarizing) design, plus Intel’s innovative Wireless Display technology. However, this notebook runs hot on the bottom, and some may prefer to get the version of this system with discrete graphics for not much more money.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

430M:

The Core i5-430M is a middle class dual core CPU that features only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-640M) and clocks between 2.26-2.53 GHz (Turbo Mode). Furthermore, VT-d, trusted Execution and AES features are missing in the 430M. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 500-733 MHz) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
