The Dell Studio S1440-022B is targeted at school students who are looking for a budget laptop. This new offering from Dell does something quite bold and does away with the optical drive altogether. As a result, the laptop becomes much slimmer and weighs less as well.
14-inch laptops are not known for being very lightweight and while the Dell Studio S1440 does not break any records, it is plenty portable at only 4.7 pounds. To further put things into perspective – 14-inch laptops hardly come under 5 pounds. The S1440 has a very slim and compact design and manages to run for quite sometime. It also has something of an extra in its ports where it features a DisplayPort. It also bundles not trial but full version licensed softwares within the price.
But what is it really like working without an optical drive? Is this laptop a worthy buy? Read on to find out.
