Dell recently added a new range of computers to their lineup, the Vostro range. In December of 2007, I purchased a Dell Vostro 100 notebook computer, complete with Windows Vista, and here is Gareth's Bloggie review on it.
Upon opening the box, the Vostro was very securely packed, starting at just $399, this laptop is very competitive in the market, it claims its for 'business' use only, however, a standard home user may order one.
$399 will get you an
- AMD Sempron 3600+
- 1GB RAM DDR667
- 80GB 5400RPM HDD
- Windows XP Home Edition or Windows Vista Basic
- Wireless G
- Radeon X1150
The laptop in review is an
- AMD Turion X2 TK-53 (2x 1.70GHz)
- 2,048MB DDR2 667 A-Data RAM
- 120GB 5400RPM HDD
- Windows Vista Basic
- Wireless G
- Radeon X1150
For the price, you cannot beat it. It is by far the strongest notebook I've come across recently, designed for the traveler in mind. The 15.4" screen produces a 1280x800 resolution with decent colour reproduction. The noise level is quiet, usually under 10db. Vista runs smoothly on the laptop, with no bottlenecks unless you are trying to game. This is NOT a gaming laptop, however, it will run older games, such as Grand Theft Auto San Andreas at an acceptable FPS. The weight is 6.28lbs and is a must buy for anyone in the market of a new laptop or secondary PC.
Out of 10, I rate this laptop
Performance 9/10
LCD 7/10
Quietness 10/10
Support 10/10
Audio 5/10
Customizable 7/10
