Active Blogs | Popular Blogs | Recent Blogs eserved for the wealthy few years ago, buying a laptop to replace and / or supplement the desktop is an option that should be considered now. In fact the price of concentrates technology has greatly decreased due to lower prices of LCD panels.
Of course, the main interest of a laptop Dell Studio XPS 1647 is its very small footprint compared to a typical desktop computer. However, this space is expensive especially due to the miniaturization of components, but offers certain advantages related to mobility. With their multimedia options (17-inch screens, powerful graphics cards and other DVD players / recorders integrated ...), the least we can say is that the latest models of laptops have almost nothing to envy the great. To go directly to the buying guide laptops Dell Studio XPS 16 and our selection of templates, click here.
The negatives of the largest laptop compared to desktop computers are:
The price is still higher by about 20 to 30% performance comparable (very approximate figure only serves to give an idea).
Lower performance, especially at the 3D (for games) and the limited speed of hard drives in the 2 "5 inches (often 5400rpm).
Scalability: we can not change that very few components on a laptop to share the memory and the hard disk is more generally quite expensive. Graphics cards are mostly soldered on the motherboard which prevents any upgrade.
Now that your choice is made, you have decided to purchase a laptop computer, you just have to choose. But not easy to navigate in this jungle where prices range from 250 € to 3000 €! The purpose of this guide is to help you choose the Dell Studio XPS 13 Battery that best fits your needs and your budget. Firstly some important points to consider:
1.1 The choice of the diagonal of the screen (transportable laptop or ultra-portable?)
It is necessary to determine whether you need a laptop, a portable PC (also called desktop replacement) or on the contrary ultra-portable PC see a netbook. These terms are used to define the four major categories of laptops that are currently in stores:
The transportable, as their name suggests, Dell Studio 1555 Battery are a heavy weight (over 3 kg) and generally have little autonomy (about 2 hours in office use). This is especially models with 17-inch screens (see 18 or 20 inches), the difference in terms of weight and size with a 15-inch standard is far from being negligible (to take the train all days for example). Can be considered as models with 17-inch screens have a range of about 10% lower compared to a 15-inch model perfectly identical: indeed, the larger the Dell Latitude E6400 screen, the more energy it requires to operate.
Instead laptops are lighter and quieter and consume less energy (battery about 3-4h in office in accordance with the associated battery). Daily use of the device is the parameter which determines the choice of one or another of these categories. For travel very frequently, choosing a notebook lighter of Dell Vostro 1015 and autonomous bring some comfort to the user. For everyday use at home with some travel from time to time, a transportable enough and provides comfort by its larger screen.
The ultra-portable Dell XPS M1530: can be classified in this category are models that have a very small footprint and low weight (less than 2 kg). These machines are generally pretty quiet and autonomy is high, at least 4 hours in office. But the ultra-portables have the defects of their qualities: they are less powerful (debatable depending on model and size), their Dell Studio 1537 screens are smaller (under 13.3 inches, the screen becomes quite uncomfortable to work long periods) and mostly they are expensive. Miniaturization and low sales volumes still make buying a luxurious ultra-portable even if the trend is a significant drop in prices in this segment. There are now powerful models (cpu and graphics card swift) and Dell XPS M2010 equipped with 13.3-inch screens that have almost nothing to envy their big brother 15 inches for the players, by cons it will cost at least 800 euros .
Netbooks: Asus EEE PC 701 launched by the end of 2007, these small machines ultra lightweight (less than 1 kg) currently face a great success. Their performances are modest (entry-level processor, hard drives limited ...) but sufficient light for office and surfing for very competitive prices, from only 200 euros. These small laptops are often used for many users, see 2nd 3rd computer booster for heavy mobile. Since 2011, netbooks are very strong competition from tablets and smartphones, more and more efficient.
02.01 Graphics Cards:
Component to look closely at when buying a laptop is the graphics card. The Dell Latitude E5500 graphics card is, unlike the desktop, almost always soldered to the motherboard (for reasons of space), it better not be wrong! For non-players, the choice has little importance, performance in 2D (desktop, DVD playback, surfing ...) will be roughly equivalent regardless of the graphics card. The integrated graphics solutions are well suited for cheap and consume less energy.
For those who want to play with laptop Dell Precision M6400, this component is essential. There are still some interesting solutions include the current GT 540M, GT 630M, GTX 560M Nvidia are an excellent choice for gamers in the mid-range (models sold from 600 euros up to 1500 models with GTX 560M) and equivalent in AMD Radeon 6850M and 6870M's. Underperforming cards like the Radeon 6650M will be struggling in recent games but represent a more efficient solution that integrated chipsets for small budgets. For best performance, we must aim Dell Studio 17 Nvidia GTX 570M is very powerful, it is currently by far the best choice to play on models of laptops around 1500 euros.
