Dell Vostro 3500 Review
Source: Student Buying Guide Archive.org version
Overall the Dell Vostro 3500 offers a lot of bang for the buck.  It’s not a fancy laptop, but for under $700 I got a quality built laptop with good performance.  The look may be a little bland for some, there’s no glossy finish or fancy design at work here.  Another minor complaint is the laptop is not as configurable online at Dell.com as I’d like it to be.  However, at the end of the day the fact you get a new Core i3 or i5 processor, aluminum case, standard speedy 7200 RPM hard drive, built-in web-camera, and solid build all for $600 - $1,000 depending on the configuration I would consider the Vostro 3500 a strong buy for students and business workers that are interested in this desktop replacement style laptop.

Dell's Vostro 3500 does exactly what it says on the tin. The laptop is a value-for-money mid-range system for small business customers. Although it has few frills, this Vostro meets all a customer's basic requirements, and looks a bit more stylish than the original Vostro models. However, adding to the basic features soon bumps up the price.

By replacing the staid design of previous machines with a tough and sleek consumer look, Dell has hugely invigorated its Vostro range. The addition of powerful Intel Core i3 technology and fantastic usability adds enormously to the package, making for another great success for Dell.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

72.48%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
