What others are saying about the Dell Vostro 1200

“Pros: This laptop is small, portable, powerful, has good battery life, good screen resolution and color definition, good hardware, good features, and is very solidly built. The 2Ghz C2D Processor is amazingly powerful, and the X3100 graphics do the job nicely.

Cons: The keys on the keyboard are non-standard size, and are too small. A look at many popular netbooks shows it’s possible to build a small laptop with a near full-size keyboard, by going right to the edge of the housing. The Vostro 1200 has a good 2cm gap at each side of the keyboard, a waste of valuable space. The glossy LCD is also annoying to use outdoors or in direct sunlight. Matte LCDs are far better.

Review: I have personally worked as a Dell warranty repairer, and would recommend them to anyone. They are great quality, well thought out, well put together, and have a very low failure rate. I will always buy Dells!” – Dell.com user
