  Wasn't Vostro always the lowest end at Dell? Over 2K RRP seem a bit off for this laptop

    Yes, I believe that to be the case. This one is a little different as it has a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA® GeForce® MX130 with 2GB GDDR5) opposed to on-board graphics like most of the other Vostro models.

    Think Vostro's their business line. They're always a little more expensive than the Inspiron line (which is their lowest end).

    Inspiron are the entry-level models. Vostro is part of their business grade laptops, which have 12 month on-site warranty.

  An almost identical model is available @ $989.00 but has the i5-8265U Processor

  What’s difference of Dell latitude vs. Vostro? Sorry about the ignorant question.

    Rough rule of thumb:

    Inspiron = cheap home grade
    XPS = quality home grade
    Vostro = basic business grade
    Latitude = quality business grade
    Precision = workstation grade

      How are the g3,5,7 models fit in? Cheap home grade?

        They occupy the space between cheap & XPS.

        You can also add:

        Gaming desktops / G Series laptops = cheap gaming
        Alienware = quality gaming

        Most products are further divided into 3 different model classes (3000 5000 7000 series) — see xuqi's comment below.
        G Series laptops are further divided into G3 G5 G7.

      Any ideas on why XPS looks better than most of Dell's lineup？

      • 

        Schmerkin on 05/08/2019 - 15:36

        Because it's designed to, and it's priced accordingly.

      Good info, although worhwhile noting further granulation within families:

      Latitude:

      3000 serries - basic (cheaper build quality & components (for e.g. Realtek in-place of Intel LAN, etc.)
      5000 series - mid-range
      7000 series - high-end

  Review for i5 version of this machine: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Vostro-15-5581-Laptop-Rev…

  In summary:
  Non-glossy screen with ok colour & contrast.
  Keyboard, trackpad & speakers are ok.
  Their i5 machine was cool & quiet under office use, and efficient on battery.
  Poor cooling when pushed harder (aggressive fans & throttling of their i5 machine).
  Dim screen, 213 nits. Also, slow PWM will bother sensitive eyes at screen brightness < 10%.
  Graphics card only good for older games at low-ish resolutions.
  Antenna 1x1, limits wifi speed.
  Small battery, 42Wh.
  Their 128GB NVMe SSD was ridiculously slow.
  Plastic case.
  Very slow SD slot.

  Thanks for the post. Bought one of these for home office use. Specs seem decent for the cost ($67 less with CashRewards cashback). $982
