Ports:
2 USB, 1 eSATA, 1 HDMI, 1 1394, 1 mic, 2 audio out, 1 LAN thing, and 1 video out (I think). Also has SD card slot.
It's got a glossy lid (which normally I hate) but has a textured background underneath it which makes it look much more awesome. The design continues on the inside.
The touch-sensitive media control areas above the keyboard have been replaced by buttons on the F keys. If you order a backlit keyboard, there are three levels of lighting: none, total, and partial.
For some reason, Apple is the only company that makes good trackpads. The Dell one isn't great (hurts your finger if you slide to fast), but after a little use, one can get used to it. There are motions for zooming, as well as vertical and horizontal scrolling.
The speakers are located above the keyboard, near the screen, and in my experience, aren't bad.
Overall, it's really a great laptop.

Review: Dell Studio 15
Searching for a perfect laptop is really hard! I never realized!
After 6 years with my old dell, I decided it was time for a new computer. I had a few criteria: design, screen size, webcam and specs.
I want a laptop that looked cool, with a lid that snapped shut and could be opened with one hand (both manipulating the switch thing and the bottom being heavy enough to not have to hold it down). Of course, the Dell does neither of the last two, but life's taught me that you can get used to anything.
I also wanted a 15 inch screen, a webcam, and good specs (Windows Vista, cause it actually doesn't suck, good RAM, 320 GB hard drive, and reasonable stats for the rest).
After a few months, I think that the Dell Studio 1555 is really the laptop for me.
