(It’s French for Uber) http://www.hd911.com/2008/04/vostro-its-french-for-uber/ http://www.hd911.com/2008/04/vostro-its-french-for-uber/#comments Sat, 26 Apr 2008 10:09:33 +0000 Shannon Carver http://www.hd911.com/?p=140 My new Laptop, a Dell Vostro 1700 arrived on Tuesday, and its more than a worthy replacement for my ageing Latitude.  I might even go as far as to say its the perfect notebook, for the person who doesn’t need to take their machine to work with them every day.  The only reason I say that is because its big, and really heavy as well (I’d estimate 4kg).

But for a round-the-house desktop replacement, media and occasional gaming machine, its perfect, and cheap too!

I got:

  • Core2Duo 9500 (2.5Ghz)
  • 4GB RAM
  • nVidia 8600GM
  • 2x200GB 7200RPM HDD’s
  • Intel Wireless Draft-n card
  • 17″ 1920×1200 WUXGA+ Monitor

Plus all the throw in options (Vista, MS Office, Bluetooth Headset, etc etc)

For £895!

Once again, I put it to anyone to find a similar spec’d machine for anywhere near this price because Dell definitely seems to have the upper hand in these stakes.
