Did anyone know you could get a Dell laptop for under €300? I didn’t! Has anyone ever heard of the Dell Vostro series? Not me anyway, personally I think they have been kept very “hush hush”.
First I will go into the technical stats of the Dell Vostro 1000
Processor: AMD Sempron Mobile Technology 3500+
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Basic / Windows XP Home
Screen: 15.4″
Memory: 1024MB
Hard Drive: 60GB
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon Xpress 1550 HyperMemory
CD Drive: 8x DVD/24x CDRW Combo Drive
Battery: 4 cell Lithium-Ion Battery
Internet: 56.4k Modem / Dell™ Wireless 1390 802.11b/g Mini-Card
Now in basic terms this means any of the following is possible.
- Watching movies
- Checking email
- Internet via Dialup Modem, Wireless Broadband or Normal Broadband.
- Any general office work
- Basically anything other than graphic design this machine can handle, and perhaps a demanding game!
So there you have it! Head out and get this baby, I think I’m going to get myself one, just for the purpose of having a laptop for being on the move! You can see all the Vostro series from this link here. Of course if you want to use an e-value code for the one mentioned above the code is:
IEBSDONL-N1010001
Enjoy!

Here’s an interesting one! Not much to say on it so here’s the post directly from Tech2:
Dell is developing consumer PCs that can run multiple versions of Microsoft’s Windows and Linux software at the same time, the personal computer maker’s chief technology officer, Kevin Kettler, told Reuters.
Users of the new Dell PCs would be able to simultaneously run multiple, software-generated computers on one machine, using an increasingly popular technology known as virtualization.
Such PCs could go on sale as early as next year, Kettler said in an interview by telephone while attending the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco.
He declined to say whether the machines will be able to run Apple Inc’s OS X software designed for its Macintosh computers, whose sales are growing faster than the overall PC market.
“I can’t speculate on that,” Kettler said. “Virtualization is very powerful. It’s an environment that would allow many different operating systems to co-exist. You can interpret that however you would like.”
Mac computers are able to run Windows software using virtualization programs including SWsoft’s Parallels and VMware’s Fusion.
Dell is developing the machines with help from several partners, including EMC Corp’s VMware unit, which is expected to go public through an initial public offering next week, and privately held SWsoft, he said.

This will be Dell’s first machine to make use of Intel’s latest Core 2 Extreme X7800 mobile processor. Thoughts? Let me know via a comment!

Choosing the right laptop has really become a difficult and time-consuming task. If you get 50 reasons to get a sony laptop, you’ll get 100 to get HP’s. It’s simply because you have too many things to compare for. First thing you’ll see is probably svga graphics card with good memory. Then it comes to connectivity options like Bluetooth to connect your cellular phones for software and ringtones transfer. It should also support connectivity with video cameras and other devices like printer.
