Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop —
After two years on our current laptops it was time to upgrade. My goal was to find a replacement system that could not only run routine office applications, but had some gaming capability. My minimum specifications were a dual core processor, a dedicated video card, and to keep the price under $1,000.00.The Dell Vostro easily met every requirement. By customizing the base model, I was able to get the 2ghz (T7250) processor, with an NVIDIA 8400 video card for around $800.00. I could have opted for a faster processor with an Nvidia 8600 card and still came in under a thousand.
The system is very fast, plays games well, and is very sturdy. Comparable systems from Sony and others started around $1400.00.
To get the best deal, you may need to watch for specials or coupons and use the configuration tool.Last edited on Nov 14, 2007
