Vostro 1000 for kid in school
Friend asked me to recommend a laptop, so I took a look at Dell.com and
there's a Vostro 1000 system for $499 that seems like a helluva deal. 1GB RAM, dual core AMD, DVD burner, etc. I told him to get XP not Vista. My only question is the 29WHr battery - seems kinda wimpy? -- Paul |

My only question is the 29WHr battery - seems kinda wimpy? -- Paul What age is the user? Is this for college, and if so will it be carried around and use for things like note taking? If screen real estate isn't necessary, an outlet XPS M1210 would be the most useful for many students that need something powerful, portable, and durable -- having a light laptop vs. a heavier one is a big factor if also carrying heavy textbooks. |
