Dell Vostro 1000

Advantages: Cheap and well spec'd
Disadvantages: No disadvantages when priced at £352

...of Dell laptops always seem to be getting better. I made the decision to buy. The snag I found was this Dell Vostro 1000 was a range that is only available to business customers. This wasn't really a major problem, as I could just buy it as a business. Purchasing as a business has a drawback, but it also has a pro point. The drawback to buying as a business is that the distance selling regulations only apply to consumers, so you cannot send it back within 7 days if you change your mind. The pro point is that the laptops tend to have less rubbish installed on them, than their equivalent consumer models. The specifcation of the Laptop I purchased was: AMD AthlonTM 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-53 (1.7GHz,512KB) 2GB RAM Integrated ATI Radeon® Xpress 1150 HyperMemoryTM 15.4" Wide Screen WXGA (1280x800) display 120GB Hard...

Review of Dell Vostro 1000

The Dell Vostro 1000

Advantages: price, durability, look, speed, memory
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 package, etc. The Dell Vostro 1000 is amazing quality for money and I would thoroughly recommend it, expecially for anyone on a limited budget. The battery once charged does not last for ages but it is not too bad at all; as with most laptops...

Review of Dell Vostro 1000

The Dell Vostro 1720 laptop - it's changed the way I see Dell!

Advantages: 17" screen, fast to react, good all-round laptop
Disadvantages: Fingerprint-attractive case, badly-placed power cable

...The Dell Vostro 1720 is part of the Dell family and I?d never even touched a Dell desktop or laptop prior to being given this as a laptop for work. I?d heard quite bad things about Dell and I associated them with an AOL-type company. How surprised I was when I first used this Vostro 1720. It?s a very nice machine, although there are some niggles that I?d like sorted out before I actually bought one with my own money. ~~~The Good~~~ -It?s got a 17? screen and a full keyboard including a full number pad. Despite that, it?s very light, yet still solidly built. -It?s fast, both to boot up and to shut down. You also don?t notice any delay when opening applications. -It?s quiet, even when it?s running a CD or DVD, although it can be quite noisy when it?s booting that drive up but that doesn?t last for long. -The screen is...
