Dell Studio XPS 13 and 16 hands-on

We hit up Dell for a few more minutes with the sleek new Studio XPS 13 and 16, and our positive early impressions just got better with time. We're really digging the leather panel on the lid, and while the machines are total fingerprint magnets, when they're cleaned up they're pretty eye-catching -- particularly the light-up circles on the hinges and the backlit keyboard and mouse buttons. Even the bottom is slick -- it's nicely detailed and the whole things lifts off (Dell calls it a "garage door") for easy access to the RAM and hard drive. We nabbed a ton of shots, check it out in the gallery!

My XPS M1330 does look better, and there is no choice of colours. Will pass on this one I think, though I do wish I had the faster graphics and backlit keyboard.

I purchased this 13.3" on Wednesdays...can't wait for it too arrive. Although i have heard it has issues with heat. It tends to heat up very quickly, up to 70 degrees Celsius..it puts me off esp when gaming...imagining your lap scorched :S
