Wow, news for me. Thanks!]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/
Just checked Dell Outlet Small Business, and there is a "Coming Soon" under the V13.

I use a workstation at home, but as a student, I need my laptop to last as long as I am at school.

Thinkpad Forever.]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/
Yeah, the review really had me deeply in love until I heard about the battery life. And then the fact that it wasn't removable. Total deal breaker for me.

I am totally for aesthetics - this is just gorgeous especially considering the price point - however, laptops are just one of those consumer electronics where having a user replaceable battery is simply and uncompromisingly essential ESPECIALLY when battery life isn't up to par.]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/
The actually higher clocked SU3500 ULV Solo uses HALF the power (5W TDP), and the savings can be applied to a inexpensive SSD.

This offers great performance and on tests has pushed battery life to close to 4hrs.

If wanting more though, I'd check out the ASUS UL30VT-X1. =)]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/

You could probably squeeze almost 4 hours out if it when doing light stuff. My alu MBP barely hits 4 hours on normal use, so I think the Vostro isn't that bad.]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Yup.

I was just curious... In fact Engadget's holiday laptop guide was the reason why I ended up buying a ProBook myself a couple of weeks ago, so I was curious how it's standing up to the newest competition. No biggie. :D]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/photos/dell-vostro-v13-review/#2806772 No scratches!

The battery is NOT generally unacceptable, that seems to be a personal preference... for me 3 hours is fine. I have not actually gotten low battery remarks..

It's a trade-off you should be aware of..]]>Mar 17th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/Mar 17th 2010 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/dell-vostro-v13-review/
