Laptop Dell Vostro 1500, Intel Core 2 Duo T5470 Deals & Reviews

Reviewedia.com "The free review encyclopedia" (Madison, WI): The new Dell Vostro 1500 is a new dell laptop design. Dell has done good in designing the Vostro. The looks of the Vostro is amazing. It has a stylish look, yet is very durable. The 15.4-inch LCD is wide enough for anyone's viewing pleasure and the screen's glossy feature makes it look like your viewing a glass screen. The dual-core 1.6GhZ (upgradable to 2.4Ghz dual-core) processors are powerful enough for most applications. The 2GB RAM (upgradable to 4GB) can do more then enough for a user. It comes with a DVD burner to burn all your DVDs. The video card offer is good enough to handle the new Vista features. The 80GB SATA HDD (upgradable to 250GB SATA)offers plenty of space and the speed of the SATA is extremely fast. This new Dell is worth every penny.

Charles Critchlow (tACOMA, WA, US): I have had my Vostro 1500 for roughly 3 years now it is the duel core 1.40 ghz 2 gigs of ram. overal I would say it is and has been a 7 out of 10. as far as the Neg. umm when I first got this pc the cd-rom issue was happening where it would not read and disk. this was found to be an easy fix the cd-rom drive is set to a location of (00) you must edit this under the system tab of windows xp and use Device manager and set it to (01) United States or find the country you are in and this solves this issue. oddly Dell had a real problem with this issue because upon release of the pc over 250,000 computers had this error and and this is when del just started releasing their computers to be sold at best buy and walmart. But Ironicly no body wanted them cause they didnt work out the door. so they flopped. rofl, best tried to sell it for $ 949.99 and Like I said they flopped and they flopped bad. they sold less than 2000.
and guess where they round up? on EBAY I bought mine for $145 after shipping. I bought 4 because of the price do you get it 4 LAPTOPS FOR LESS THEN $600.00 and that included shipping.

Farhaddad (California, USA): I've got this laptop from dell's website 3 years ago when it and core 2 were first released. The quality of this laptop is very good. I also added the following features to it: firewire, webcam, bluetooth, 120GB HD and 9-cell-battery which still has a capacity of 3:50 hours when running under high performance settings.
There's nothing I can say about specifications other than that I'm using Windows 7 on it now which is a bit lighter than Vista Business that came installed on it. The Media button feature is nice but I rarely use it, specially that unlike Vista, Windows 7 business has Media center built into it.

D. Hentze (United States): I've had my Vostro 1500 for about 9 months now, and it's worked perfectly. I bought it with a fast Intel Penryn Processor, 3GB of RAM, nVidia 8600M GT video card, and Windows Vista. The Vostro 1500 is built like a tank, and pretty heavy. That might be a negative to some, but I like to know it can handle the everyday use I put it through. This is my 5th Dell notebook, and I've never had a major problem with any of them. The 1500 has since been replaced by the 1510. IMO, it is not nearly as well built as the 1500. You can still find the 1500 around, and IMO it is still a great notebook that's more than fast enough for most of today's uses, except heavy gaming.
