Reviews of the Dell Studio XPS 9000 (formerly XPS 435)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Dell's strongest chassis design in years; highly capable jack-of-all-trade configuration; strong customer support options.
The Bad: Not as fast or as affordable as some of its off-the-shelf competition; a few missing features; power hog.
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.

Review Summary: (equipped with a 3.2-GHz Core 2 Extreme X9770 and 4GB of speedy DDR3-1625 RAM). We'd take the Studio XPS for a lot less, any day--at least, on paper

Review Summary: Dell's Studio XPS may cost £50 less than the competition, but the specifications list has taken a far greater cut.
