Dell recently has recognized that the SME market is still a growing market and many vendors have yet provide good value for money machines to handle this market. There are many challenges facing SMEs, and the lack of large budget for purchase of laptops and desktop is one of the many.
With the introduction of 3G mobile broadband, the adoption rate of Laptops vs desktop is increasing and with laptops getting cheaper each day and the introduction of netbooks, it is little worth for users to purchase desktop except for specific reasons like gaming or workstation CAM/CAD design.
Dell SME range of laptop is the Vostro class and unlike its more costly cousin the latitude class, does not have 3 years warranty and magnesium alloy design. It does have the same Dell world class support and comes clean with no trialware. For this review, we will look at the Vostro 1310. Below are its specs
Intel Core2 Duo T5870 2.0Ghz
2GB Ram
250GB hard Disk
Slot-based DVD-RW
Bluetooth
Intel 3945ABG wireless adapter
Gigabit Ethernet adapter
4Cell battery with 65W adapter
1 Year standard limited warranty
The weight of the notebook is at 2 to 2.1kg, not too heavy for affordable daily usage. Its built-in graphics provide enough juice to run CAD drawings viewing with min effort. The keyboard felt fine for long term usage. The only bad i can think of its is thickness. It looks like a brick.
