The Dell Vostro 1500 is targeted for small and medium businesses like the smaller 1400 series, but with a larger display and more upgrade options. The Vostro 1500 Enhanced Graphics & Software package easily matches Dell's high-end XPS M1530 gaming laptop specs and components with the right upgrades, but at a more affordable price.
MSRP $914.00
