From the ranks of Dell notebooks, the Vostro series is targeting small businesses or SME segment. So it is with this notebook. But unlike other businesses that dibandrol notebook with high prices, price competitive products this one is spelled out, that is U.S. $ 799. Though the processor is used (Intel Core 2 Duo T9550, 2.6 GHz), including upper-class processor. No wonder if the notebook record good results in tests in 2007 and Cinebench R10 Sysmark that rely on processor speed. However, because relying on the onboard Intel GMA X4500 VGA, graphics capabilities are not special.
Another thing that we spare the processor is only as loud as it was coupled with a capacity of 3200 Wh battery. As a result, this notebook lasted approximately one hour when we used play HD video. However, the small battery capacity also have a positive effect, which makes this notebook weights only 1.7 kg, classified as mild for 12-inch notebook class.

When we try, this notebook keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience thanks to the repulsion that feels right. Initially we had time to interfere with the spacing between keys that felt tight, but once accustomed, we easily reach the speed of a standard type. Another thing we liked is the button (or more precisely the surface of the touch), which is above the keyboard. This button contains a menu to set the multimedia operation (Play, Pause, Stop), and only need a light touch to activate. When active, the light will light up blue on the surface for a moment and then goes out again.
Facilities in the notebook is on par, although there are a few interesting to note facility. The first is the presence of dial-up modem that has been left today's notebooks. This Notebook Express Card also provides the facility, although only a small version (34 mm). For the record, generally Express Card in the notebook is a 54 mm version.
