    I just got my Dell 1520 yesterday. I can say that the Jet Black is a matte finish and not glossy at all. Not sure about the Vostro, sorry.

    Had the 1520 in black before returning, and the lid is exactly the same as the Vostro. It is a matte finish and both are very nice. Overall build seems more durable on the Vostro, especially the interior casing. Just feels more solid to me.
