    What is the difference between the both with same specs?
    Is there a review here for the studio?
    Why is the Xps more expensive with same specs? Does that mean its better?

    excuse me if i sound rude, but to answer your 2nd question...there is a "Notebook Reviews" tab for a reason. Look for a studio review. If NBR has one, it will be there. If not, then no. And I think a studio was reviewed, but it was 17 inch.

    1: The same specs? It's not possible. The XPS has better graphics options. If you want to game get the XPS

    2: Only the 17"

    3: Kinda answered this already in 1, but the XPS also has metal in its chassis, whilst the studio is all plastic. XPS also has dedicated customer support.
