I am currently using this laptop and absolutely love it.
I use my Dell Vostro regularly to access the internet and play games.
Dell Vostro 1000 is designed for Windows XP. In my opinion WIndows XP is less complicated than Windows Vista.
The keyboard buttons don't need to be forced down, a soft click does the trick.
Sensitivity of the touchpad can be adjusted with ease.
There are four usb drives, a disk and floppy disc drive for input devices.
Speakers are located next to the keyboard.
Dell Vostro 1000 has a wide screen which i think is great for watching movies on Itunes.
It also offers high-definition Dell UltraSharp display, which means it provides better resolution and viewing angles than many other notebooks on the market.
