Twenty hours over two weeks with Dell support and others and the computer (Studio 15 1536) is on its way back to Dell. New HP printer would not print via USB, HP and Dell could not solve the issue. Bought a Dell printer upon recommendation from Dell. This printer would not print from USB, even after hours of remote support from Dell. In the eleventh hour, Dell wanted one more try after Dell assisted in removing all biz software and files prior to return (F8 option to restore to factory image not available). I appreciate it – but I am not getting paid to debug Dell’s computers. Indeed, I paid for a computer that worked, i.e., could print. If a Dell computer cannot print as shipped, then don’t ship it. If the problem is a known problem, then let the consumer know immediately – not after numerous phone calls, disconnects, purchases of new Dell equipment, software upgrades, etc. Dell should not use its customer base as test pilots. While I have bought numerous Dell computers (at least 4), I cannot continue given this experience of their “test pilot” policy.

I purchased this computer new at the beginning of August as a gift for my sister in Europe. We were watching a DVD on the machine with my sister and noticed that the sound of the computer is too faint even at maximum volume. I took the computer back to the U.S. to have it fixed. I first spent 2 hours on the phone with a technician who updated my sound drivers (something I had already done and told him so). Since that didn’t work, he sent a technician over to replace the speakers.
The first technician was sent only screws. The second technician replaced the speakers, which did not solve the problem, and damaged the laptop in the process. The third technician “repaired” the second technician’s damage. Unfortunately, the sound stopped working completely after that. I have spent over 6 hours on the phone with DELL, spoke with 3 different supervisors. I only wanted to return the system and get my money back. They refused to return the computer and wanted to give me a refurbished machine in return. BEWARE when you buy, because you are purchasing the worst product on the market from a very incompetent customer service company.

I purchased the Dell studio 15 stright from Dell because my son recommended it as a good buy. NOT…I do not recommend you purchase this unit for three reasons.
1. Customer Service or lack of….Hours of repeating the same ol information to the folks in Calcutta India with names like, Susan, Daniel, Robert or Michelle…the robot that you get first does speak good english but has a one track mind.
2. The studio 15 speaker grill above the key pad is put in place with a couple weld units which gives the grill the appearance that it has been hit with a ball pein hammer in a couple places..it can be slightly wavey to very wavy to looking like big dents. I have just recieved my third computer and all have dents. All after the folks in India have assured me that my next computer will be dent free….if the dents are real bad I think it causes issues with the touch pad such as the dvd unit trying to eject a disk at random times when there is no disk in the unit.
3.Dell charged me $79.00 for McAffe and never informed me at the time of purchase that this was going to be an add on. When I called back and told them I didn’t order McAffe they told me I had to take it anyway. When I told them I was going to complain to the Attorney General for the state of Michigan they gave me a supervisor who in turn gave me $50.00 off my purchase price which I have yet to receive.
All in all it’s been a bad experience for me and I would
not purchase another Dell…

I received this product as part of the Dell warranty program when another computer failed. I’ve had the 1535 for three weeks and the panel with the capacitive media buttons has already failed. I like almost everything about this laptop except for the media buttons failing so early (a quick Google search shows that this is a common issue for the 1535). I’ll give Dell a call back in a day or so and see what they can do for me.
Pros:relatively stylish and slim, especially so for a Dell, excellent WiFi range, has a webcam and multiple recording inputs / headphone jacks, great graphics card, better-than-average battery life
Cons: reliability, the media touch sensors are hard to find in the dark, case attracts fingerprints, webcam quality is so-so, sleep mode does not work well for Kubuntu.

My husband purchased this laptop for me for Christmas. It’s very cute, but completely non-functional if you want to use Belkin wireless to connect to the internet in your home. It is NOT compatible with Belkin routers. After hours upon hours on the phone with Dell (who claimed it was everyone else’s issue), Belkin (I have two other computers using this wireless router and they work fine), Trend Micro (two other computers with no issues with Trend Micro) and even paying $100 to have a technician find out what the issue was, we realized it was the wireless card.
I called Dell back (another set of countless hours repeating the ENTIRE situation over and over) to inform them of this and they ordered a brand new wireless card (same exact one as the one that didn’t work with the Belkin before) and had THEIR technician replace it. He couldn’t get it to work either. However, they were willing to allow me to return it for a full refund. I am buying an HP!

Okay, where should I start? Maybe that after 3 months of use, very minimal I might add, the hard drive crashed. So, for over a week it didn’t work while I had to wait for a REFURBISHED hard drive to be sent to me. I didn’t realize I would be an unpaid employee for Dell when I bought this laptop. (I had to install the hard drive myself). This whole process with the phone call and all was a good 10 hours. (Not counting time to reinstall all software, etc.)
Then, after 5 months of use, the laptop started shutting down on its own after about 30 minutes of use. Needless to say, another lengthy call to Dell Support at which time they sent a technician to my home. (I had to wait a couple of days and he showed up 5 hours late. I was more than a little irritable since I had left work early to meet him at my home when he as supposed to show up.) Come to find out, he replaced the mother board and AC adaptor. (I mentioned the fact that the optical drive was acting up as well, issue not addressed) (Again, not to mention I had to reinstall all software again.)
Well, a WHOLE month later, the computer wouldn’t boot, so after 5 hours on Dell Support, the technician had me reinstall the operating system and all drivers. (Not to mention after that, I had to reinstall software AGAIN, getting the picture???) Well, AC adaptor is acting up again, optical drive still trying to eject a disc that is not in the drive, and the computer so slow I can’t hardly stand to use it. Called support again, she told me the previous technician incorrectly instructed me on how to fix the problem. Had me take the computer to the original settings. So guess what I’m doing now?? You guessed it, reinstalling the software for 5th time in 6 months!!!
So basically, unless you have the time and want a hobby of being on tech support and installing hardware/software, do NOT buy this laptop.
I’m just wondering, does Dell ever have the policy of if the computer is a piece of crap, that they will replace it? I keep getting denied for my request.
Hope this was helpful.

I could sum this up in one word. Crap.
Yes, it does more or less everything that a PC is supposed to do. It’s the little things…
Like the AC Adapter and batteries not being worth a darn after 9 months.
Like that annoying media thing button that you only have to come near touching to make it come on.
Like it not waking up out of standby for several minutes.
Like, for some reason, the keys popping of the keyboard WAY too easily.
When it’s working right it works and does what it’s supposed to do… which in the case of Windows Vista is be a complete PITA.
I also have a Dell Latitude for work. Keys stay on keyboard but battery/AC adapter are also crap. Sound sucks.
I’m on a Mac like a hobo on a ham sammich after the Studio dies.
