Reviews of the Dell Studio XPS X1340-024B
-
CNET Review
The Good: Upscale look; strong overall performance; integrated graphics provide some semblance of gaming power; backlit keyboard; attractive edge-to-edge glass on the display.
The Bad: Poor battery life; runs hot; on the heavy side for a 13-inch laptop.
The Bottom Line: The Dell Studio XPS X1340-024B is an attractive 13-inch laptop and a capable performer, but it tends to run hot and its poor battery life will leave you cold.
