Notebook Review - Dell Vostro 1220

By J Guelas  

Dell has recently introduced the Dell Vostro 1220 and already it is getting raves. The Dell Vostro 1220 boasts features that are superior to what Dell has brought before. Many argue that this laptop is significantly better than what Dell's rivals have come up with lately and we agree. It's true that the decision on what laptop to purchase shouldn't depend entirely on manufacturer's claims so we'd like to cite the reasons why the Dell Vostro 1220 is a good buy.
First, this laptop has a nine-hour battery life, which is probably more than enough for any typical user's need. This laptop has at least a three-hour advantage over others in its league. At 1.52 kilograms, this laptop shouldn't be a bother bringing around. The screen is a good size at 12 inches and a resolution of 1280x800 pixels widescreen is sufficient. Its size, weight, and battery life are already enough to make the Dell Vostro 1220 a very appealing laptop. But if you're still not convinced either way, here are the particulars.
SPECS AVAILABLE OPTIONS
CPU - Intel Celeron 900 (2.2GHz, 1M L2 Cache, 800Mhz FSB), Intel Core 2 Duo T6670 (2.1GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
RAM - 2GB-4GB
Screen Size - 12.1-inch widescreen
Operating System - Microsoft Windows Vista Basic and Ultimate 64-Bit Editions
Battery Life - 9 hours (manufacturer's estimate)
Graphics - Intel X4500MHD
Pros
Its speed is one of its best features. Starting up the system is done before you know it. No one wants to be kept waiting and this is actually a big deal for some people who can't stand wasting even a few moments of their time. Viewing images and videos is a pleasant experience due to this laptop's display capabilities. Even with default settings, the colors are notably brilliant.
Customization is not a problem and can be done easily by adjusting for brightness, contrast, and color balance. As long as there's no editing involved and only viewing is done, the laptop's ability to portray graphics and text well is indisputable. Maneuvering without an external mouse can be done comfortably with the use of the touchpad. It's quite precise and sensitive to every move.
Cons
We discovered a major weakness in the Dell Vostro 1220. Serious music lovers would disapprove of its audio output since its built-in speakers can only work with mono output.
Conclusion
The Dell Vostro 1220 can definitely meet the demands of the average buyer. It scores high on portability and its fast processing speed makes it all the more attractive. While we cannot ignore the poor audio quality, there is a way around it by simply connecting an external speaker. We stand by our opinion that this laptop's features make it a good buy.
