    Hello I am thinking about buying the vostro 1500 but before I go ahead and do that I want to know if you that have it think it is a good computer?
    I really wanted to buy an HP but I want windows xp not vista. hp does not have winxp anymore. It is for my daughter to use just for school no gaming. I just want a reliable computer. I love my hp that I have right now, but it's 2 years old already but as good as when I first received it... Oh well what do you think? I am going to maybe order it today, it is on sale for 599.00 is that good?


    Thanks a bunch

    A :D :D

    The smaller Vostro 1400 is another option. A 14in that is better suited for traveling/carrying it around then a 15in.

    Also fill out the FAQ(and post it int he "What notebook should i buy" section of the forum) so that we can help you better.
