The Dell Vostro 1320 is solidly built laptop with a built-in optical drive and a powerful CPU He has a burgundy and black base cover, but do not let his looks fool you. - The Dell Vostro 1320 is a laptop for hipsters to parade in cafes (which is what is for Eee PC). It is a 13.3in notebook that is designed for small business users who want something that avoids the tedious black on black that adorns most rooms and cabins meeting.
The Dell Vostro 1320 is solidly built, it is relatively fast and is a good size to take with you when traveling.
The Dell Vostro 1320 weighs 2.15 kg, but incorporates an optical drive and a 4-cell battery, as well as an assortment of small ports and slots. You get four USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, D-Sub, an ExpressCard / 54 slot and an SD memory card reader
There is nothing as modern as eSATA or HDMI. these are the kinds of ports that would make the Dell Vostro 1320, with its powerful 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 CPU, come into its own as entertainment and productivity of all-out machines. At present, it is a great notebook for business users.
Even with only 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM our test model scored 90 in WorldBench 6 suite of application tests, which is a good speed for desktop programs, multitasking and even made 3D and photo manipulation. He would have done better if it had more RAM (perhaps the same level as the Dell Vostro 1520, which marked 96 with a slightly slower processor). In the MP3 encoding tests Blender 3D and iTunes, he recorded the time of 1min 11sec and 1min 06sec, respectively, which is about what we expected the P8700 CPU.
HDD Dell Vostro 1320 (a Seagate Momentus ST9250421ASG) was also very fast. He recorded an average speed of 28 megabytes per second transfer files in our tests. This is about 5MBps faster than the hard drive of the Vostro 1520. This means that the Dell Vostro 1320 will serve you well when driving the disk intensive tasks such as data compression.
An NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS is present, which has its own memory and provides the Dell Vostro 1320 relatively good graphics performance for a business notebook. He scored 2379 in 3DMark06, which means it can play games with low-detail settings if you ever get sick of being so productive.
Although his performance was impressive despite the very small amount of RAM, the Dell Vostro 1320 construction quality is another reason to consider purchasing this device. It feels very solidly built - from its base to its lid. You can pick it up from either corner without folding frame substantially or to make annoying noises.
And unlike the frame around the optical drive in the Dell Vostro 1220, he has not contacted unnecessarily the optical drive tray and make clicking noises. Furthermore, the cover protects the well screen. There is no excessive puddling when moving from the edges; its hinges are sturdy and hold the screen perfectly in place at the angle you desire. The screen is latch-less, but it can not be lifted open with one hand -. That's how strong the hinges are
