Dell Vostro 1000 Review & Battery Specs
The Dell Vostro 1000 is the budget offering in the Dell Small Business lineup of laptops. It has a 15.4′ screen and comes with an AMD Turion processor. The Dell Vostro 1000 is priced at under $500 with a basic configuration, so the price really can’t be complained about. But does the low price equate to a cheap product or is this laptop a great deal for the buck? This review will attempt to answer that.
Specs of Vostro 1000 under review:
- Mobile AMD Sempron Processor 3500+ 1.80GHz
- 15.4′ Widescreen XGA (non-glare)
- 512MB of RAM at 533MHz
- ATI Radeon Express 1150
- 60GB 5400RPM HD
- Windows XP Home
- Dell Wireless 1390 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi
- 24X CD Burner DVD Combo
Dell Vostro 1000 Battery
There are three battery options for the Dell Vostro 1000: 4-cell, 6-cell or 9-cell. I purchased the cheapest option 4-cell 29WHr dell vostro 1000 battery. I regret this because the 6-cell is only about a $20 upgrade and would have provided far better laptop battery life. With brightness set to half way and wireless on and the system idling, the battery on the Vostro 1000 conked out after 1hour and 50 minutes. If you’re actually working on the notebook you can expect about 1h 30m of battery life. If you’re watching a movie with the screen at full brightness you’ll be lucky to get an hour of battery life out of the 4-cell.
I understand that the 6-cell dell vostro 1000 battery provides almost 3 hours of battery life under normal usage, so I’d go with that option. The 6-cell will be slightly heavier, but that’s a worthwhile trade off for the longer dell laptop battery life.
