Thanks mate. I already ordered a D630... mainly because the warranty is impressive.

 

Hi SJSMR2,

Thank you for the reply. Good to know that that our names work. I am going to order one asap.

It appears that the Vostro 1500 may be discontinued very soon.

The Inspiron 1520 on which it is based was replaced by the 1525 on the Dell USA website today:

It may be possible to order a 1520 in the US using coupon links. EDIT: Also, you can still find the 1520 at:
http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=DNDWKB3&s=dhs
for the time being.

Thanks, HI DesertNM and SkyGuard.

 

Ack! It has an HDMI port! I wonder if that means the Insp1420/Vost1400 replacement will also get HDMI port? I really want that feature... too bad I just bought my 1400

 

Hi,
I'm thinking about a vostro 1700. I know people say it looks better in real life than in the photos, but in case I'm disappointed when it arrives, I was thinking about a laptop skin a bit like this:
http://www.lapjacks.com/PRD_ProductDetail.aspx?cid=302&prodid=3457&product=Meadow-contrast
what do you think? It is the 'Dell' circular logo on the back raised or recessed? Or is it flat with the rest of the cover? I guess it will only work if it's completely flat...
they don't have the vostro as a model to choose from, but they do have an option for specifying in centimetres the height and width.
Is the back of the laptop flat, or does it have a slight curve to it, as obviously this will affect how well the skin adheres?

 

Garentee you that it does look better in real life than in the pics. That being said it does not appeal to every one tell you the truth i had the same fear when i ordered mine but now that it is here i love the all black look.

to your question yes the dell logo at the back of the screen is recessed slightly so that may be an issue with sticking something onto the back of the screen.

 

Whoa, that's a weird placement for the touchpad. Is that for lefties?
