The Vostro V130 is bit of a mixed bag. It looks good, sports a reasonable range of features and doesn’t break the bank―unless you spec it up, when it then loses its value appeal. Its lightweight and robust design is ideal for frequent travellers, but the lack of built-in security extras such as fingerprint readers and TPM chips won’t wash with corporates. The biggest problem is that there’s really nothing that distinguishes it, especially compared to a ThinkPad or MacBook Air. And then there’s the unacceptable battery life. The Vostro V130 might suit the individual, but it’s not well-rounded enough for enterprises.
