    What's the difference between the Inspiron and Studio lines?

    I'm considering a new laptop to complement my desktop, and I just want it for multimedia and all around connectivity (IM, email, web etc).

    As such, it must have a decent battery life. However, build quality is very very important to me, and I would like to know how these machines stand the test of time assuming the owner is very careful (I am).

    PS: Intel X4500HD graphics ... Is this integrated GPU strong enough to playback HD content without stutters?
