- Dell Studio 15
- Parsing the intended markets for Dell's ever-shifting in-house brand names requires a bit of tea-leaf reading, although it's been easier of late, with the company stripping down its consumer brands to just the Inspiron and XPS lines. Now the company is adding a new line between the budget Inspiron and...

- Dell offers four basic configurations for this new XPS One all-in-one system, and our $2,399 review sample represents the highest-end model.

Overall, though, HP's cheaper,...
