Dell Studio 1535

Dell Studio was a range of laptops and desktops targeted at the mainstream consumer market, produced by Dell.[1] The computers sat above Dell's Inspiron and below the XPS consumer lines in terms of price and specifications. They differed from Dell's lower-end Inspiron models by offering slot-loading optical drives, media keys, more cover design options, faster processor options, HDMI and eSATA ports, LED-backlit screens, and backlit keyboards.

At launch, the Studio was offered in three models: the Studio 15 and the Studio 17, named after their respective screen size in inches, and the Studio Hybrid, named for its usage of laptop components in the form of an ultra-small form factor desktop. If purchased online, many customizable colors, designs, and features were available, including a fingerprint scanner in some countries.[2]

On July 29, 2008, Dell introduced the desktop counterpart to the Dell Studio Laptops, the Dell Studio Hybrid PC. A compact desktop legacy-free PC using laptop components, it contained the same slot-loading optical drive as the laptops, with the range of connectivity (e.g., number of USB ports) expected of a desktop PC.

On September 24, 2009, Dell released Studio laptops with the option for a mobile Core i7 processor, although Pentium Dual-Core and Core 2 Duo options were also available as lower-end options.[3]

On June 18, 2010, Dell's website stopped selling the Studio Hybrid.[4]

As of May 2011, Dell has discontinued the Studio line of notebooks.[5]

Desktops

[edit]

Studio Hybrid

[edit]

A miniature desktop similar to the HP Pavilion Slimline series of desktops and Apple's Mac Mini, it is Dell's most energy-efficient desktop. The desktop is named Studio Hybrid because it uses Intel processors made for laptops as well as a laptop motherboard, memory, and a laptop power adapter. The computer itself is enclosed in a plastic interchangeable sleeve which was available in various colors including a $130 premium version made out of bamboo. The machine was based on either a Pentium Dual Core or a Core 2 Duo mobile processor. By default, it came with a slot-loading DVD-RW drive but for around $200 your system could be upgraded to a Blu-Ray drive that could also burn DVDs along with the Broadcom Crystal HD card needed to accelerate the video properly (Using Dell Media Direct Software). The board had an integrated Intel X3100 graphics chipset, so while not able to play graphics-intensive video games, it was adequate for common tasks. When these computers were released in 2008 they initially came with Windows Vista but users were offered the Windows 7 upgrade at no extra cost from Microsoft. The last units to be sold came with Windows 7 but with the maximum RAM upgrade of 4GB they could easily run Windows 8 or 10 without a problem. The included stand could be configured to stand up the computer either vertically or horizontally. The appropriate "Hybrid" logo would light up depending on how the machine is orientated.

Studio and Studio Slim

[edit]

Using the same case style as Dell's Inspiron 530 and 530s desktops but with a black color, the Studio and Studio Slim desktops are targeted towards consumers looking for a multimedia entertainment desktop.

Issues

[edit]

According to users on the Dell user forum, the Studio 15 (older 1535, 1536, and 1537 models) and Studio 17 (1735, 1736, and 1737) frequently encountered errors with the touch-sensitive controls. The eject or start buttons for Dell MediaDirect stayed lit for a few minutes after the unit was powered on - resulting in a loss of functionality from the rest of the buttons.[17]

Users have additionally reported issues with the Studio 1555 and Studio 1557's video cards. This was later found to be the effects of a video driver problem.[18][19]

The 1555, 1557 and 1558 models have been known to overheat during certain activities - namely 3D graphics related applications and games. The design of the heatsink and fan prevented some basic approaches to fix this issue. By combining the heatsink and fan components, users were prevented from cleaning blocked heatsink vents or from replacing thermal paste - furthering the overheating problems.[citation needed]

The Dell Studio is a consumer-oriented line of personal computers introduced by Dell in June 2008, comprising stylish laptops and a compact desktop model called the Studio Hybrid, targeted at users seeking customizable, multimedia-focused systems with a balance of aesthetics and performance. Positioned as a mid-range offering between the entry-level Inspiron series and the premium XPS lineup, the Studio laptops—such as the 15-inch and 17-inch desktop-replacement models—featured distinctive swirly patterns on their lids, availability in up to seven colors (including options like midnight blue, spring green, and flamingo pink), and hardware configurations including Intel Core 2 Duo processors, up to 4GB of RAM, dedicated ATI graphics options, HDMI output, and multiple USB ports for enhanced connectivity and media playback. The series emphasized self-expression through personalization, with soft-touch covers and angular designs inspired by higher-end models, starting at prices around $799 for the Studio 15 and $999 for the Studio 17. The Studio line was discontinued by around 2012, with its features largely integrated into refreshed Inspiron and XPS products thereafter.

History and Development

Launch and Initial Release

Dell announced the Studio product line on June 26, 2008, positioning it as a stylish, mainstream consumer range of laptops and desktops intended to bridge the gap between the budget-oriented Inspiron series and the premium XPS lineup. The launch emphasized self-expression and creative lifestyles, targeting style-conscious consumers who desired multimedia-capable PCs with extensive customization options at accessible prices, without the high-end costs of professional-grade systems. This new line marked 's push into more aesthetically driven consumer hardware, moving beyond traditional utilitarian designs to appeal to users prioritizing form alongside function. The debut models included the Studio 15, a 15.4-inch , and the Studio 17, a 17-inch , both launched immediately following the announcement, with the compact Studio Hybrid desktop following shortly after on July 29, 2008. Marketing highlighted the line's personalization features, such as vibrant color options for the laptop chassis, along with fabric and finish choices like and for the Hybrid, allowing buyers to select eco-friendly or premium textures that differentiated the products in a crowded market. Initial pricing reflected the consumer-focused strategy, with the Studio 15 starting at $799, the Studio 17 at $999, and the Studio Hybrid at $499, making customizable systems available to a broad audience. This pricing structure underscored Dell's aim to capture the segment, where buyers sought value-driven enhancements like outputs and slot-loading drives without premium markups. The Studio line later extended to higher-end variants like the Studio XPS in , but the 2008 debut established its core identity in accessible, expressive computing.

Evolution of the Product Line

Following the initial launch of the Studio 15 and Studio 17 in mid-2008, Dell expanded the product line in early by introducing smaller form factors to appeal to users seeking portability without sacrificing capabilities. The Studio 14, a 14-inch model, debuted in late as an entry into the compact segment, offering a balance of performance and size for everyday . Shortly after, on May 28, , Dell announced the Studio 14z, a 14.1-inch variant featuring discrete graphics options for enhanced visual tasks, positioning it as a slim, lightweight alternative in the series. In late 2008 and early 2009, Dell launched the Studio XPS sub-line as premium variants within the Studio family, targeting high-end users with superior specifications and aesthetics. The Studio XPS 13 (13.3-inch) and Studio XPS 16 (16-inch) laptops were officially released on January 8, 2009, incorporating advanced displays and audio systems for enthusiasts. This sub-line extended to desktops, with the Studio XPS 8000 introduced in September 2009, featuring high-performance components like i7 processors for demanding applications.

Processor integrations evolved from Intel Core 2 Duo options to support for Core i7 mobile chips, starting with the quad-core i7-720QM in September 2009 for models like the Studio 15, 17, and XPS variants, enabling better multitasking and efficiency. Desktop offerings grew in 2009 to diversify the line beyond laptops, with the Studio Desktop and Studio Slim models added as mid-tower and compact alternatives, respectively, launched on September 23, 2008, but seeing configuration updates through 2009 for broader compatibility. These systems provided expandable storage and options in space-efficient forms. Additionally, the Studio One 19 all-in-one desktop was unveiled on March 12, 2009, integrating a 19-inch display with touch capabilities in a versatile, kitchen- or office-friendly design. Customization options expanded significantly in 2009, allowing greater personalization while incorporating sustainable elements. Users could select from multiple vibrant colors, such as Black Chain Link, , and , especially for models like the Studio 14z. The Design Studio program, broadened in July 2009, offered artwork commissions and trim choices for laptops. Eco-friendly updates included the use of recyclable materials in packaging (95% recyclable for the Studio Hybrid) and reduced power consumption (about 70% less than typical desktops) to lower environmental impact.

Discontinuation

The discontinuation of the Dell Studio line occurred gradually over 2010 and 2011, beginning with the desktop models and extending to the notebooks. Sales of the Studio Hybrid desktop ended around 2010. By May 2011, the entire Studio notebook lineup, including the 14, 15, and 17-inch models, was fully discontinued, marking the end of new production and direct sales. Several factors contributed to this phase-out, including evolving preferences and competitive pressures. The market in 2010–2011 saw a shift toward slimmer, more portable designs inspired by ultrabooks and the rise of tablets like the , which reduced demand for thicker multimedia-focused laptops such as the Studio series. also faced reported low sales for the Studio line amid intense competition from HP and Acer, who captured greater in the segment during this period. In response, consolidated its offerings, positioning the mainstream Inspiron series for everyday users and reserving the premium XPS branding for high-end models, effectively absorbing the Studio's mid-range positioning. The Studio XPS sub-line was rebranded as the main XPS series in mid-2010. Key features from the Studio line, such as extensive customization options and capabilities, were transitioned into refreshed Inspiron models like the 14z and 15 series launched in 2011, which adopted similar design elements and upgrade paths. The XPS branding was refocused on emerging formats, emphasizing thin profiles and advanced performance to align with industry trends. Following discontinuation, Dell continued limited support for existing Studio systems, providing updates through 2011 to address compatibility and stability issues, though no new hardware or major firmware releases were issued thereafter.

Known Issues

Overheating and Thermal Management

The Dell Studio laptops, particularly the 15-inch and 17-inch models released in 2008 and 2009, featured designs with limited , which proved inadequate for dissipating heat generated by discrete GPUs such as the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 or HD 4670. This design flaw was exacerbated during prolonged use or under moderate loads, leading to elevated temperatures in the CPU and GPU components. Symptoms of these thermal issues included uncomfortable surface temperatures. For the Studio 17, the underside reached 112°F (44°C) and the hit 98°F (37°C) during a 15-minute HD video playback test—levels deemed high enough to recommend using a cooling pad. In contrast, the Studio 15 maintained slightly cooler surface temperatures at 102°F (39°C) on the underside under similar conditions, though internal heat buildup remained a concern with discrete graphics configurations. processing often intensified these problems, as the GPU's power draw contributed to overall chassis heat. These overheating concerns primarily affected the 2008-2009 laptop models, including the Studio 15, Studio 17, and Studio XPS 16, where slim profiles prioritized aesthetics over robust ventilation. Desktops in the Studio lineup, such as the Studio Hybrid, were less susceptible due to their larger enclosures and improved natural airflow, with no widespread thermal complaints reported in professional reviews. Users seeking to mitigate overheating often performed like repasting the thermal compound on the CPU and GPU. This involves powering off the , removing the bottom panel (typically 8-10 screws), disconnecting the battery and fan cables, unscrewing the heatsink assembly (4-6 screws), cleaning old paste with and a lint-free cloth, applying a pea-sized amount of new thermal compound (e.g., Arctic Silver 5) to the processor dies in a central dot pattern, and reassembling while ensuring even pressure on the heatsink. Such modifications can lower temperatures by 10-20°C but require careful handling to avoid damaging components.

Users of Dell Studio laptops, particularly the 15-inch models like the Studio 1535 and 1555 released around 2008-2009, frequently reported battery degradation after 1-2 years of use, with capacity dropping to around 50% or less, leading to significantly reduced runtime. For instance, the lithium-ion batteries in these models often failed to hold a charge effectively after multiple cycles, necessitating replacements as early as 2010-2011. This issue was exacerbated by the batteries' exposure to during normal operation, accelerating wear in the Studio 15 and 17 series. In Dell Studio XPS desktops, such as the 8100 model equipped with Seagate 7200RPM hard drives, hardware failures manifested as clicking noises and sector errors after approximately 1.5 years, often indicating impending drive collapse. These symptoms, commonly linked to the series drives, resulted in data inaccessibility and required immediate replacement to prevent total loss. Hinge and lid problems affected early Dell Studio laptops, including the 14-inch and 15-inch variants from 2008, where components around the hinges cracked due to material from overly tight mechanisms. Users noted that the stress during lid opening and closing caused the LCD back cover and side brackets to , particularly in models like the Studio 1555. Keyboard and trackpad failures in the Dell Studio line, such as the 14z and XPS 13, were often attributed to liquid spills leading to or unresponsive touchpads, though these were not unique to the series but common in spill-prone environments. or replacement was typically required, as residue interfered with key mechanisms and touch sensitivity. These issues were commonly reported by users on Dell forums and repair sites, though did not issue recalls. Due to these recurring hardware issues across the Studio lineup, recommended purchasing extended warranties at the time of sale to cover repairs beyond the standard one-year period. However, parts availability from became limited after 2011, forcing owners to seek third-party suppliers for components like batteries, drives, and hinges.
