The Dell Vostro 1015 is one of three entry-level notebooks (Vostro 1014, 1015, and 1088) released in late 2009 for business professionals. The base configuration starts at $429 with a 2.2GHz Celeron processor, but $200 extra can net an Intel Dual Core 2 system with 3GB of RAM and a 320GB SATA HDD.

Compared to its peers, the 1015 hosts the largest screen (15.6”), but lacks the 1088’s ATI graphics card. Universal across all three is an improved battery life, enhanced energy consumption with an Energy Star 5.0 certification, and a bevy of color options: black, blue, or deep cherry red. Additional features include a card reader for media flexibility; a cam/mic combo set for online communications; and Gigabit LAN + 802.11b/g WiFi. Note also the FireWire port.
