Dell jazzes up Vostro lineup with new look and Core 2010 processors, keeps prices in check

March 9th, 2010 admin

We’re starting to bank on the small business-oriented Vostro for a really compelling blend of features and price. Sure, it’s usually not the sexiest kit on the block (though the Vostro V13 would beg to differ), but it’s hard to argue with the stellar pricetags. Dell’s just thrown down a big 3000 series refresh to the Vostro lineup, with the Core i5 and Core i7 options across the line, and even a Core i7 Quad Core option for the 17-inch Vostro 3700. And it isn’t just spec upgrades — the 13-, 14-, 15- and 17-inch boxes all are available in silver, red or bronze, and are made of fairly sturdy stuff.

Intel Arrandale shortages leading to premium prices, potential product delays
Now this might explain Apple’s curious choice to not upgrade the 13-inch MacBook Pro to a Core 2010 CPU. Yahoo! News is reporting shortages of the more budget-minded Core i3 and i5 laptop processors launched by Intel this January , which has led to chip buyers outbidding each other to the point of paying 20 percent premiums on contract prices....

We’ve already seen plenty of leaked info about HP’s upcoming Core i7-based dv8 , but nothing beats an official specs page on a company’s own server for proof, does it?

MacBook Pro Core i7 review
While the MacBook Pro is just another Intel-based computer with standard internals, slightly inflated price tags, and a familiar (if legendary) design sense, Apple having the absolute corner on the market for building machines that legitimately run OS X can be a little rough on the upgrade obsessed.
