Dell Vostro 1220 Laptop Officially Launched Vostro 1220 Budget Business Ultraportable

Dell have finally gotten official concerning their new budget business
ultraportable, the Dell Vostro 1220. Billed as giving you 'the freedom
to do more while spending less' the Dell Vostro 1220 comes in 12 format
and, as is always the case with Dell's offerings, a veritable wealth of
end user configurations which, maxed out, will see a 3.06GHz Intel Core
2 Duo CPU paired with 8GB Dual Channel SDRAM under the hood along with
Blue-ray combo optical drive and, surprisingly, even an option for a
WiMax module.
Available with a choice of operating systems which takes in both Windows
Vista (32/64-bit), Ubuntu Linux and FreeDOS, further highlights include
HDD capacities up to 500GB or the option to upgrade to a 128GB capacity
SSD (Linux based systems are limited to a 16GB SSD) whilst, in terms of
additional futures, you can also factor in an optional fingerprint
reader or, if you're really looking for enhanced data security, a 250GB
encrypted HHD (inclusive of Wave software).

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity are also up for grabs though
it's a little disappointing to see WLAN merely being optional as opposed
to offered as standard (as is the case with the vast majority of
ultraportables out there right now).

There's no word from Dell as at the time of writing concerning the
Vostro 1220's pricing structure, however, if its Japanese release is
anything to go by, the base level unit will come in at around $790 with
the host of optional extras inflating that figure greatly as you tick
off those boxes (only to then see the total price and decide you don't
need it maxed out after all).

The moment we get official word on the US pricing structure we'll
endeavour to offer a heads up but, in the meantime, further info can be
obtained via the official Vostro 1220 product page.
