Dell took into consideration its customers’ needs and redesigned its Vostro notebook line making the models lighter, thinner and with pre-installed data protection software.
The new redesigned laptops include Vostro 1310, Vostro 1510 and Vostro 1710 which are optimized for small businesses and are already available in several countries with others to follow up soon.



Dell Vostro 1310 is the smaller model with a display measuring just 13.3 inches in diagonal and equipped with fingerprint reader, Trusted Platform Module, cable lock slot, McAfee Total Protection for Small Business security software, and slot load optical drive.



The 15.4-inch Vostro 1510 has the same security features and is available at a price of $599, while the 13.3-inch Vostro 1310 costs $749.
In May, Dell will release also the 17-inch notebook model called Vostro 1710.

According to Dell, the next-generation laptop computers made by the company will support mobile broadband high-speed connectivity on multiple 3G network, feature enabled by Qualcomm for its customers via its GOBI technology.
US residents that like to travel accompanied by their laptops will have the chance to connect via Sprint’s EV-DO networks using European Vodafone’s HSDPA without the need for two different broadband cards, and this will be possible starting later this year when Dell will release portable computers with a single-card 3G network connectivity via GOBI.

GOBI technology from Qualcomm is software-configurable and allows users connect at high speeds on UMTS and CDMA networks with the possibility to switch between the two when needed.
Notebook models that will come with this solution are Latitude, Dell Precision and costumer laptops.

This is the public declaration of Greg Raleigh, vice president of product management for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies:
"The Gobi solution enables enterprise users and consumers with the freedom of being untethered from Wi-Fi hotspots and connecting to the Internet using 'almost anywhere' cellular broadband connectivity. We are pleased that Dell will be leveraging the flexibility and efficiency Gobi provides to meet the growing needs of mobile data users."

Dell Vostro 1000 is a very affordable portable computer solution available at prices ranging from $399 to $579, for a 15.4-inch wide display, and small business tools.
