Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop Reviewed

Notebook Review has a review on the Dell Vostro 1500 notebook PC. Dell Vostro 1500 is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T5470 1.6GHz processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, 120GB hard drive and NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS (128MB) graphic card.

The  Vostro 1500 comes with a DVD SuperMulti DL burner or Blu-ray drive, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, a 15.4-inch LCD display, and a 8-in1 card reader.

NotebookReview’s Conclusion:

The Dell Vostro 1500 is a solid notebook with an impressive set of features at a value price. As the holiday buying season jumps into full swing the Vostro 1500 will certainly be a strong candidate for a small business or school notebook. The choice of processors, graphics cards, and other configuration options means that the 1500 can serve just about anyone’s needs. While the entry-level version of the 1500 with integrated Intel graphics lacks the power for serious gaming, the dedicated nVidia graphics card makes for a capable value gaming machine and mobile multimedia center. Given the fact that the Vostro 1500 is virtually identical to the Inspiron 1520, this notebook is an amazing value if you can live with a notebook that is available in only one color.

Bottom line, the Vostro 1500 is a solid notebook at a value price … and we can’t help but say that black is indeed beautiful.
