Dell Vostro is a line of computers from Dell aimed at the small business market. Prior to Vostro, Dell's home and small business computers were sold under the same lines: Dimension for home and small business desktops, and Inspiron for home and small business portables.
With the introduction of Vostro, the Dimension line was retired, and the Inspiron line changed to include all computers for the home market — regardless of form factor. One marked difference between the Inspiron line and the Vostro line is that the Vostro line is more affordable but comes with shorter technical support hours.
With the Vostro line, the customer has the option to purchase a technical support contract to get 24/7 technical support from Dell and the customer has the option not to get extended-hours technical support from Dell and pay less money for their equipment. Dell customers who require their laptop to have an ExpressCard expansion slot will find this feature on Vostro models but not Inspirons (as of January 2011).
The current lineup of Vostro laptops includes five laptops, including two budget models, the A90 and A860, and the mid-level Vostro 3000 series. Higher-end models are the 1220, 1320, 1520, and 1720. The configurations for the Vostro 1220, 1320, 1520, and 1720 are nearly identical.
