The X1340 ran for a disappointing 2 hours 21 minutes on CNET Labs' video playback battery drain test, which is far less than the 3-plus hours we'd expect from a 13-inch laptop on this test. The HP Pavilion dv3-2155mx offers more than double the battery life, and while it uses a larger, extended-cell battery, it still manages to weigh less than the X1340.
Dell backs the Studio XPS X1340-024B with a standard one-year parts-and-labor warranty. Calls to tech support are toll-free and able to be placed 24-7. Dell's support pages contain an extensive knowledge base, user manuals, and driver downloads.
