The choice is actually easy. The Latitude is a business class notebook whereas the Studio is not, it's considered a general computing laptop. The Latitude is built to take more abuse i.e. "wear and tear" than the Studio. On the other hand the Studio offers better component selection. If you plan on using your laptop for the basics including some gaming then go with the Studio.
