Dell updates Vostro line of computers

Dell announced three new notebook computers today for its Vostro line of small-business products.

The company released a 13.3-inch laptop that will start at $749, and at 15.4-inch model that starts at $599. Those models are available immediately in Europe and will go on sale in the U.S. on May 1. Dell also will start selling a 17-inch model later in May.

Dell Vostro 1510

Vostro came to life last summer, when Dell carved out a line specifically for small businesses. Before then, those customers typically purchased Dell’s consumer products or PCs designed and geared for large businesses.

The Vostro line includes some free services, such as online data back-up services, and customers can order the PCs without most of the trial software that typically comes on consumer models.

The new Vostro PCs will be thinner and lighter, Dell said, and will come with expanded security features.
