Dell’s 15.6-inch Vostro 1015, which was announced along with the Vostro 1014 and Vostro 1088 back in August, has just come out for purchase. The $429 base model gets a 2.2GHz Celeron 900 processor, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and the downside, Windows Vista Home Basic. If you’re willing to smack down 200 more bills, coming in at $629, the dubbed performance package buys you a 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo T6670, 3GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB hard drive, Windows 7 Professional, dual-layer DVD burner, 2 megapixel webcam, integrated WiFi, GMA 4500MHD graphics and a 6-cell battery. This machine is stylish, surprisingly well equipped, and best of all affordable.
