I have written a couple of posts on Dell Vostro Laptops before. Well Dell are giving away another great deal on Dell Vostro 1500 Laptops again. This time a Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop would only cost $499. This Dell Vostro Laptop is almost as good as mine. I configured a Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop to suit my needs before I bought it and it cost me $700 including taxes. If you purchase a Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop at default configuration, it would only cost you $499. Not a bad deal if you consider the hardware inside it. Here are the default specifications for this Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop.

• Intel Core 2 Duo T5270 (1.4GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
• Genuine Windows XP Home Edition
• Microsoft Works 9. Does NOT Include MS Word
• 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA LCD Anti-Glare Display
• 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz, 2 DIMM
• 8X CD/DVD+RW Read and Burn CD and DVD
• 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
• 80GB 5400RPM Hard Drive
• Dell Exclusive MediaDirect Instant Play Software Application
• Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Wi-Fi Internal Card
• 56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
• 1 Year Basic Limited Warranty plus 1 Year Mail-in Service
• High Definition Audio 2.0
• Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem

Well this configuration has 1GB of more Ram than mine. The battery that comes with it ( 56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery ) is not that good if you plan to travel a lot with this laptop. You might want to get a 85WHr 9-Cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery. This Dell Vostro Laptop is well worth $499. I don’t regret it a bit and I have been using a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop for 6 months now. Just get a powerful battery and you are good to go. One bad point about this laptop is it is a bit on the heavy side. Other than that, if you consider the usability it is good value for the money.
