Dell Laptop Reviews from CNET Editors

Dell Studio 15 Laptop Computer (Intel Core 2 Duo T5850, 320GB HDD, 3GB)
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Studio 15 Laptop Computer (Intel Core 2 Duo T5850, 320GB HDD, 3GB)

The bottom line: Dell's first release from its new Studio line, the Studio 15, sits between the Inspiron and XPS lines and offers a good mix of features for the price, but we'd be tempted to save up a few extra dollars for a thinner, lighter XPS.

Dell Inspiron 15
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Inspiron 15

The bottom line: As a highly configurable budget-range black box, Dell's Inspiron 1545 laptop line can be a good value--as long as you don't pile on the upgrades.

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook

The bottom line: Dell's popular Mini 10 is the most customizable Netbook we've seen. Adding extras such as a higher-resolution display makes it more useful, but also blurs the price line between Netbooks and mainstream laptops.

Dell Desktop Reviews from CNET Editors

Dell Studio XPS 9000 (formerly XPS 435)
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Studio XPS 9000 (formerly XPS 435)

The bottom line: The Dell Studio XPS 435 successfully overcomes our bias against desktops that claim to be experts at everything through charming case design and a strong configuration at a relatively fair price. It misses greatness because of a handful of minor missteps, but if you need a do-it-all mainstream tower system, this Dell more or less covers all the bases.

Dell Studio Hybrid
Editor's rating:
3.5 stars

Dell Studio Hybrid

The bottom line: If you're considering all of the computers in the $700 to $1,000 price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate this system's clever design and its relatively powerful hardware.

Editor's rating:

Color Laser Printer 1320c

The bottom line: The Dell 1320c is a decent choice for a small office or work group, but a little more cash will net you a faster printer with better print quality.

Editor's rating:
3.0 stars

Dell Multifunction Monochrome Laser Printer 1125

The bottom line: Aside from a few complaints, we like the Dell 1125's overall package. The reasonable price tag also helps. We would recommend the Dell 1125 as a sensible solution for shoppers in the market for a text-specific all-in-one.
