No, but in all seriousness, Celery should not exist in $400+ laptops. If you're looking for subpar performance, why not just get a netbook? Much more portable with much longer battery life.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/
The Celeron isn't a battery waster like the C2D. It's actually like if you took 1 hr off from the average battery life of a netbook running Atom, which is about 5:26.

You could argue that Netbooks/Ultraportables would be valid for business users, but right now they are either too small, or too expensive. The 1015 falls right in the middle.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/
The 630$ seems decent though]]>Dec 2nd 2009 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/
You remember a time when it was good... but you hated it?

Sense. Make it.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Yeah, I remember the time when it was "good". A couple of friends bought laptops w/ Celeron and in almost every tech article I read the word appeared. I've never understood the hype they started w/ Celeron, my friends' notebooks just overheated every time hehe

That's what Intel calls their laptop offerings if it includes their chipset, processor, and wireless. Centrino branded machines can include anything from a Pentium M to a Core i7 Extreme.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Also, Celeron was never considered good. It was always a budget processor offering, overshadowed by whatever Intel's current flagship model was. However, some of them could be overclocked nicely, giving you fairly decent speed at a low price point.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Ahhh, you're damn...

If the Celeron is faster than an Atom, and gets better battery life than other 15" laptops... maybe this would be considered a 15" netbook? With a DVD burner!]]>Dec 2nd 2009 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/
Agreed...I have the same gripe with my m1530.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/
In fact, if any of you guys miss the Dell Mini 9, Dell still sells the Vostro A90 which just the Mini 9 in a black case.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/Dec 2nd 2009 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/02/dell-vostro-1015-now-on-sale-in-america-starts-at-429/I've deployed over 100 of these and can safely say they are very cheaply made.
The keyboard flexes wherever you touch it, the design is not anywhere near as that press shot makes it look, it's glossy all over (except the screen) and it's very thick and bulky.
The redeeming feature is the cost, which almost makes it worth it.]]>Dec 2nd 2009 5:57PM
