New 12 Inch Dell Ultraportable Available; Vostro 1220

July 3, 2009 in Hardware

Dell has released a new business-minded ultraportable laptop the Vostro 1220. With a compact 12.1 inch screen and weighing 1.52kg the Vostro 1220 makes an easy travel companion. The 12.1in Widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) display means the Vostro isn’t a netbook but the small size and weight makes it a small laptop aimed specifically at small businesses and those who travel a lot.

The cheaper Vostro 1220 comes with an 2.2Ghz single core Intel Celeron and 2GB of memory while the more expensive models have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and either 3 or 4GB of memory. The memory can be expanded to 8GB on all models.

The Vostro 1220 comes with all the normal bells and whistles including an 8X DVD+/-RW (upgradeable to a Blu-ray™ BD Combo Blu-ray ROM & DVD+/- RW), Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Network, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN (802.11 a/g/with n as an optional extra), 3 x USB 2.0 ports and a 3-in-1 card reader.
