Vostro 1400 notebook....
....just got my hands on one today loaded with Vista Home Basic.
Very impressed with the build, appearance and performance. Shocked, actually. System looks much nicer than the images, imo. Pretty snappy with the T5740 cpu, 2gb RAM and 128mb Nvidia 8400M GS. Stew |

Stew default T5470 It's about 15% faster than the former default Inspirons, which may just be default FSB speed differences (800 vs 533), even for slightly faster CPU's. The 1400 though doesn't come with XP, so screw it. -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

The machine performed reasonably well with the default CPU (it was purchased from the Outlet). Stew |

The system is for a student who can deal with Windows Vista. XP wasn't a prerequisite on their part. |
