    Somehow I keep talking myself into looking at the Vostro 1500 just one more time. I convince myself it's not for me, but then I find myself at Dell.com configuring one that suits my needs.

    And I'll admit I want a laptop that looks appealing. And when I go to the Vostro section to choose which model, I see this . . .

    It's not an Aienware, but it's a nice looking machine.

    But then I go to choose the model section of the page, and . . .

    And that's when I decide the Vostro isn't for me. Anybody got any pictures? Or is the first picture just much better quality?

    Go to a Best Buy, look at the Inspiron 1520 or 1420 and pretend it's black.

    the one that is on the first picture is more accurate. it a boring laptop design... no offense, seriously. if you want DELL and want the most appealing design (that DELL can muster) look at the XPS series.

    check it: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Vostro-1500-Laptop.6806.0.html

    it isn't stylish, but has good design and nice build quality :rolleyes:
    buy it, if you like black ;)

    EDIT: it's a business laptop unlike XPS ;)
