What others are saying about the Dell Vostro 1510

“Pros:Love the high resolution: 1920×1200. Connecting with Friends, Travel, Gaming, Music & Movies, School, Finances, Presentation

Cons:
1. battery using old battery with no LED indicating the remaining power.
2. 8400 is underpower to drive such a huge resolution. Notice it is slow even scrolling through pdf document in acrobat reader.
3. Increase & decrease volume’s "button" on top of the keyboard is pretty unfriendly to use. You can’t press long to keep decreasing or increasing.
4. Keyboard is unnecessary compact while there are so many spaces to put a more comfortable keyboard.
5. Charger is using the old bulky type instead of new slimmer one."   – dell.com user

 

“I purchased this lap top for my small business. In general, the screen is a good quality but have numerous issues with the Vostro 1510. First of all I had to have the hard drive replaced (and the technician did not know why). Secondly, my keyboard has fallen apart. Although I use the product for about 4 hours a day I would have expected the quality of the build to be much better for a business lap top. As such, save your money and buy something else.” –Amazon.com user
