I got this as a graduation present about a year and a half ago and I cannot take it to class with me. The battery life is HORRIBLE! It might last an hour and a half.
After having it less than 6 months the mother board died on me conveniently two weeks before my first finals. I had done NOTHING to it except let it sit on the table plugged in for two days. No food, but my dad still doesn't believe me.

The screen quality on this laptop is good. TO BAD THAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS. It is cheap and affordable to buy for school use (it is what you pay for because it is not a good computer). The graphics card is integrated which means if you ever want to play a downloadable game...TOO BAD.

The Dell Vostro A860 works sluggishly with only one Meg of RAM. I'm about to install the maximum now. Screen terrific, sound not bad, keyboard excellent arrived ready-to-go. Value unbeatable!
I don't like the Vista o/s but that's not Dell's fault!

If you're looking for a low cost Dell laptop with good performance then you could do a lot worse than go for a DELL A860 Laptop. I've been really pleased with mine. I went for the 2GB memory model with Vista Business installed and it's been a joy to work with.
No hesitation in recommending the Dell Vostro A860 Laptop.
