Dell Vostro 3300 Full Review

Pros
Discrete (if limited) graphics
Compact, truly thin and light

Cons

Audio from speakers is poor
Long battery life only with bulky 8-cell Power Tools Batteries.

Bottom Line

Dell offers a highly functional small-business laptop in an attractive, lightweight package.
Higer capacity HP 484784-001 Battery fit for dell latitude d820 laptop.

Our test unit included a dual-core Intel Core i5-520M CPU running at 2.4GHz, though it can push as high as 2.93GHz when running in turbo mode (with one CPU core active). And nVidia's discrete GeForce 310M graphics processor is a welcome addition. Give your toshiba a200 laptop more running time with this HP 468816-001 Battery.

 
Dell's Vostro 3300 inherits its svelte design and thin esthetic from the original Dell Adamo design, though the 3300 isn't quite as skinny or light as the Adamo. Even so, Dell's new small-business laptop offers combination of hardware and support options well tuned to its target market. With Dell's current discounts, the Vostro 3300 starts at $599 (as of 6/18/10). The price of the configuration we tested is $913. Lowest price HP 364602-001 Battery for HP laptop battery.
