Dell Vostro 1520

Review 1:

Product Uses: Connecting with Friends, business

Tech specs: Intel Core 2 Duo T6670 2.2Ghz, 250GB Hard drive, 3GB RAM. Purchased Vostro 1520 to replace Inspiron 6400. Main reason I went with Vostro was ability to downgrade to XP as heard negative feedback about Windows Vista. This is a competitively priced and well put together machine. Simple but effective with none of unnecessary add ons just a solid workhorse. Like anti-glare screen and love the black finish and area surrounding keyboard doesn’t need constant cleaning like other glossy/silver finished machines. Lighter than my previous Inspirion and 6 cell battery good for 2.5-3hrs.

Left palm rest does get warm but not a problem and not to the uncomfortable levels some have written about in previous reviews. If I did have one criticism it would be that keyboard is way too springy for my liking. Overall an excellent laptop and recommended.
