can u tell me what is the location of fan in this laptop....is it sideward or below..??

[seemantadutta]

Fan is located below the laptop. Use a book or something to get an elevation so that the air circulates freely below the laptop. That's what I do.

[seemantadutta]

Hmm, actually it is more like 50% bottom, and 50% side. It starts from the bottom and curves up on the side a bit.

hey man , nice video.I am also planning to buy the same laptop , the studio 14 , but with the graphics card upgrade .But i just read in the comments column on the dell website , where some people have reported that this laptop heats up very quickly .Can you tell me if you have faced any such problem as well ?

[seemantadutta]

Heating seems to be an issue but not something that can't be taken care of. You might buy a laptop cooler or use a book to provide some tilt so that the cooling fans can blow the air without obstruction.

I wrote a linux shell script to monitor the temperature and found that even with long term use, my HDD temperature stays consistently at 45-46 deg celsius.

In terms of raw processor performance, the Studio 14 should any day beat my XPS. Even though the Studio 14 you are looking at has an i7@1.6GHz and the XPS has 2.53 Ghz, I'm pretty sure the i7 has 6 cores while the XPS just has 2 cores. Also, the i7 has turbo boost and hyper threading. Take my word, i7 is WAY faster and it's the latest technology. Core2Duo is comparatively older.

*Check other issues (heat,design, price, usage criteria, etc.) before finally selecting.

Pros of Studio XPS 13:

1) Powerful except when it gets stuck.

2) Two graphics cards 9400MG 256MB and G210M 512MB

3) Looks amazing. very unique.

4) Good screen.

Cons:

1) Gets stuck sometimes (although rarely)

2) Everytime I use both graphuics cards together, it always gets stuck. Have to talk to Dell about it.

3) It gets dirty easily since it has a glossy finish.

4) Heat, although a minor issue. Speakers aren't that good.
