    5 Stars Dell Vostro 1000 08/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap and well spec'd

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No disadvantages when priced at £352

    I bought this laptop for myself early on in August 2007 after researching many laptops. For my perfect laptop it had to have the following features: - Price ( Under £400 ) - Graphics ( 3D ) - Ample Memory ( Ideally 2GB ) - CD/DVD Writer - Wireless (G) - More than 2 USB Ports - Not too Heavy (Not more than 3KGs) The main reason I wanted to get a laptop was to be able to do my own computing projects from anywhere in the house. One of my projects involves using a service called Second Life, which is basically an online 3D chat environment. The laptop that I got had to be able to run their ... more

    5 Stars The Dell Vostro 1000 15/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages price, durability, look, speed, memory

    Disadvantages Disadvantages N/A

    I bought the Dell Vostro 1000 for starting a Degree last september. The Vostro 1000 is marketed at businesses and as such is installed with Windows Vista Business. The laptop came with 2GB of RAM which is ample to run vista comfortably. The fact that the laptop is marketed for businesses has made no difference to me. In fact it has probably helped me with my degreee as it doesn't come with all the extra unnecessary rubbish that others do (e.g. solitaire, hearts etc)! The Vostro has been able to handle everything I have thrown at it; every game I have installed, the microsoft ultimate 2007 ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Dell Vostro 1000 by Level 1 prags03 17/11/2007
    I always said i'd never get a laptop, just didn't see the point. But after getting a mail shot from DELL offering me a VOSTRO 1000 for £199 +vat & p&p (total of £ 293) i thought even if it's crap what could i lose. After ordering i expected the usuall rubbish about delivery but was amazed when it arrived 4 days later. I was absolutely astonished at the quality of the machine, it's sturdy & quite stylish compared to others twice the price. Useing it is a pleasure & VISTA so far has caused me no problems. The only slight ... more

    5 Stars Excellent All-round PC 17/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages high performance and a low price.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Graphics card could be better. a larger hard drive ould be nice, too.

    My first laptop. Well spec'd, as the description says. I've upgraded mine to 2GB of ram and I must say, the speed is amazing. It hardly ever freezes or crashes. The graphics card could be improved, but remember this isn't a gaming laptop. The display is crystal clear and pretty big, amazing for watching movies. This makes an excellent media pc. Grab itunes and a dvd player, along with some speakers and you have a portable media centre. The wireless card has never lost a connection and I've had mine for a year. The "No Trialware" bit isn't entirely true. It comes with a suite of software called ... more

    4 Stars Dell Vostro 1000 30/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, looks great, long battery life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not greatly reliable after a period of time

    This laptop is very easy to use and, if you're buying one new, plenty of extra add on features come with it for office and business use. Visually, the whole layout on-screen is well designed, and the standard, classic formatting means anyone should be able to use it. As a bonus, the battery life is a vast improvement on previous dell models, meaning you can use this laptop fully charged for hours without having to plug it back into a power charger. Reliability may be its only real weak point - I've had my laptop for under only two years now and already its starting to become slow with a ... more
