Dell Vostro 1520 notebook
Dell’s Vostro range offers relatively cheap laptops with 12.1 to 17 inch screens for small to mid-sized businesses. At 15 inches, the Vostro 1520 is still fairly portable but also offers quite a pleasant screen size. Typically for Dell, it is available with a great variety of different hardware set ups; therefore, some comments in this review (for example the performance and emissions sections) are only valid for models similarly equipped to our review model.
We tested a model with an Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 processor, Intel GMA 4500M HD graphics, 3GB of RAM, a 160GB, 5400 rpm hard drive and a DVD drive. With its anti-glare screen, integrated communications features and emphasis on office performance, the Vostro 1520 does seem to be ideally suited for its intended use as part of a small business network with occasional travel. Whether this translates into practice, you can read in the following review.
