Dell Vostro 1500

I love my Vostro 1500; but don't assume for one second that I think it's a good peice of equipment, because it really isn't. I've grown attached to my Vostro; I've owned it for approximately four years now and it is also the first Laptop I've ever had to myself.

It crashes fairly frequently, and had my boyfriend not been there to perform a 'System Restart' approximately every six months, I'd have given up on my Dell long ago. I've lost many important documents along the way.

I've had to buy two replacement chargers, including a universal charger from PC world which cost me £95.00, and two other chargers from Amazon costing about £20.00 each. That's £135.00 on chargers. Are they made to be disposable?

My best advice: Steer clear of Dell laptops in general, unless you've got lots money to throw away on replacing chargers. My boyfriend, brother and sister have all had a number of problems with their Dells. They may be cheaper than other manufacturers, but are they really worth the trouble?

Dell Vostro 1500 is a fantastic machine for the house and the upgraded screen is excellent for watching movies as long as you are not in the garden. I also upgraded the battery which means less charging. It handles everything in its stride and has Dell reliability. A range of good packages come with the Vostro. Good all round laptop except for portability. This is really a desk top replacement.

Dell Vostro 1500 is cheap and very reliable I find it very easy to use and have not had any problem with windows vista and I do recommend it for any person interested of acquiring a good cheap Laptop and value for money! its also fast!

A good deal especially with a free bag! I do like the blue lights!

My Dell Vostro 1500 has good battery life with the optional 9 cell battery. Nice clear screen. Very quiet, in fact almost silent even after leaving it on for a long time. Lots of features including a DVD burner, wireless connections 4 USB sockets and lots more! Superb value for money for a business laptop. Well built to withstand the rigors of daily use and a terrific spec for not a lot of money. Dell reliability should make this a great laptop for home and business use.

Good laptop for the average user and if you don't mind the OS asking permission for almost every action, it is fast and for a faster internet experience get Safari Web Browser.
