Complete Studio Master Takes, The - Lester Young Sextet & Septet (The)

studio 15

Advantages: reasonably priced, polite customer support
Disadvantages: careless setup of drivers, very lousy laptop speakers!!

bought a studio 15 laptop...it was upgraded version so took them about 3 weeks to deliver The bluetooth and BluRay drives weren't working properly...after many emails and fiddling around with laptop's screws and reformatting following email instructions then I got a call to sort out the bluray...it was finally sorted. These were little probs that didn't bother me too much so I wasn't chasing Dell up daily, it did get sorted about 4 months later (after date of purchase). I think the laptop should have been tested and setup with updated drivers then I wouldn't have had this hassle and bad experience with an otherwise glitch free (so far...a year later!) system!! Overall the customer service department were polite and did their best to be helpful. I was asked to fill out a survery later so maybe they've improved their system ...

Review of Dell Studio 15

Dell Studio 540MT

Advantages: Quiet, Good looking
Disadvantages: Button under the dvd draw

After weeks of searching the internet for a new computer, I finally settled for the Dell Studio 540. I have owned this computer for a little over two months now, and have to say, that I am quite pleased with it?s performance. When it was delivered it was well packed, and all the glossy parts of the base unit were covered with protected covering, which takes a few moments to peel off. Everything was pre-installed so I didn?t need to use the enclosed windows vista operating disc, or drivers. Once I plugged it in, the first thing I noticed was how quite it was compared to my old pc, the first few seconds it?s just a wee bit loud, but even that is still quieter than my old pc, but it soon settles down to just a whisper. If there are any gripes with this pc then it as to be the button that is pressed to open the dvd tray. Opening the tray is ...

Review of Dell Studio 15

Ulead VideoStudio 8 Complete Package

Advantages: Ease of use, SmartSound, improved audio and titling
Disadvantages: No background rendering, some new features a bit fiddly.

Ulead's Video Studio 8 adds new features to an already highly capable yet easy to use program, it's difficult to see what if anything can be added at this price point that could possibly deserve a whole version jump from 7 to 8. Opening the Box As well as the CD, Ulead Video Studio 8 includes not one but two printed manuals. The first is a user guide to the software. This covers all the basics and helps get you up to speed quickly without being too onerous a read. Also included is a rather neat guide to Digital Video editing in general by Douglas Spotted Eagle (really!). For beginners this is a great read and Ulead deserve a big pat on the back for including this second book. System Requirements are getting slightly heavier with a Pentium III 800 with 512Mb being specified for editing (you can get by with 256Mb if you don ...
