    a) Does the studio xps 1340 have the option to get bluetooth?

    b) Intel 5300 found in the studio xps 1640 vs Dell Wireless 1510?

    c) Is the RGB screen in the 1640 really worth the upgrade to the 1640 from the 1340?

    d) NVIDIA GeForce® 9400M G vs GeForce 9500M - 256MB vs Ati HD 3670 - 512MB?

    e) Is the 1340 / 1640 thicker and heavier then the 1330 / 1530?

    a) Yes, I have it
    b) Not sure what you mean?
    c) I got the 13. I think it is only worth it if you do a lot of photo/video editing or do hi-def games/movies. The reviews are pretty good. I think the LED backlit screen is worth it on either model. Even on the lowest brightness, it is bright and saves battery.
    d) I have the 9500 256mb on my 13 and it is fast. Photo editing is a breeze and I have played a few pretty big games on highest graphics qualities with no hiccups.
    e) Not sure but I think you could just google the sizes. My 13 is very portable and the LED screen is even thinner.

    e) Yes the 1340 is definitely thicker and slightly heavier than the 1330. I have a friend who compared his 1340 to my 1330. Although for the amount of extra power + non-defective GPU, the 1340 would be worth it in my opinion (aka I'm jealous of his machine).
