The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

Any original vostro owners still around?

    I just got my 1700 back from a temporary 3 month stint with my brother (his PC died and I decided to let him borrow it until something came along to replace the dead desktop. After getting it back I remember just how much I loved this laptop!:D

    Anyone else running around with a vostro 1000, 1400, 1500, 1700 and how are you liking it after coming up on 3 years?

    I'm typing this from my Vostro 1500. It still runs great. I recently upgraded to 64 bit Windows 7 and a also upgraded to 4 Gb of RAM just today. Early on, I switched to a 7200 RPM hard drive. It's been a trouble-free machine and does everything I want.

    Nice to see some more original owners. Mine is coming up on 2 years and has had the ram upgraded to faster gskill and 3gb vs OEM 2gb. Other then that change right after getting it is all original. I love it as it has always worked perfectly and never given me any trouble. Not to mention its nice to have a full sized keyboard and a wuxga screen after working all day on my t400 (not that its a pain to work with the t400).
