I've been using the Dell Studio XPS 1647, for over 6 months now. I have to say it is alot faster than my old computer. It's light, and has a large screen. I do find that the brightness of the screen needs to be able to go lower. I like to have my screen on the lowest setting, however I do find that sometimes, this is still too bright for me (especially on days when I have a headache). Overall I would recommend this laptop, its a good all round machine.

look very very well and that's it, but over heating in short time, short time battery life and awfull warranty service-i was pay extra for it, better not to buy

I have never had such poor service as that received from Dell. I used to be a fan of them however after a series of errors from Dell and charging me twice for the same product over the Christmas period. I am still fighting to get my money back. I would avoid Dell like the plague!

good laptop all round overheating isn't really a problem as others have said differently. Owned for 4 months and i'm glad i chose this laptop.

The laptop has a bad design at the heating free zone. The vents are covered by the laptop screen bottom. So the laptop gets over heated in a very short time. That causes inconvenience to use the laptop in a non ac room. Better no to buy.
