    I bought the Latitude equivalent. If you see my review, it barely gets hot under extreme load (with SU7300). It isn't going to be crazy hot being a ULV processor.

    The SSD isn't at all hard to install, I installed the OCZ Vertex 2 80 GB one a few months ago. You don't really need to remove the battery to get out the drive. If you follow the service manual it is quite easy.

    Looks like the final closeout on the 13" Vostro V13 SU7300-1.3 2Gb 320GB W7-HP

    Here is the latest update on the Dell V13 ... the price has now dropped to $349 :)

    Didn't you post this in the V13 thread where it's more relevant? :)

    Anyway thanks for the reminder, I couldn't resist at $349 and bought my second V13. :D

    The Vostro V130 with the Arrandale ULV are quite pricier than the Core 2 counterparts. The Core 2 ULV can easily tackle office work, I hope you don't plan on doing serious work on a V130. :p

    No it's basically for Office work and Internet/TV, no gaming. That's why I ordered the V13. I cancelled it btw, Dell was pretty cool about it.

    Should I have stayed with the V13? :rolleyes:
