style="text-align: left;">After launching the mediocre title="Dell Vostro V130" href="http://laptop-computer-planet.com/blog/tag/dell-vostro-v130/">Dell Vostro V130 ultra-portable laptop last year Dell has bounced back thanks to Intel chip advancements. The title="Dell launches a new Vostro ultra-portable laptop that’s sleek and affordable" href="http://laptop-computer-planet.com/blog/2011/08/11/dell-launches-a-new-vostro-ultra-portable-laptop-thats-sleek-and-affordable/" target="_blank">new Dell Vostro V131 takes a lot of the core principles of the V130 from 2010 but adds new things that have come to market in 2011. It’s easy to say that the Dell Vostro V131 is a vastly improved machine.

Dell has launched the V131 on their Small & Medium Business website but the laptop isn’t only for business folks, normal folks looking for a competent laptop can find a use for the V131. The V131 starts at 9 and goes up to 9 for pre-configured builds, making the laptop a very affordable solution for many.

In review the V131 with the 9 pre-configured package (see main specifications below) did very well in performance and longevity tests. According to href="http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/dell-vostro-v131/4505-3121_7-34858882-2.html?tag=rvwBody" target="_blank">CNET the new V131 outperforms the old V130 by about 49% in multi-tasking, about 46% in Photoshop CS3 image processing, about 45% in iTunes encoding, and it’s about 186% better in video playback battery drain tests. As I said it’s easy to say the V131 is a vastly improved laptop over the V130.

The 9 Dell Vostro V131 comes equipped with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5-2410M dual-core processor, Intel HD 3000 Graphics, Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit), a matte 13.3 inch High Definition LED Display (1366 x 768), 4GB Single Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz, 500GB hard drive at 7200RPM, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, integrated HD webcam, NO optical drive, and a 65 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion battery.

The Dell Vostro V131 is a business laptop, the presence of Windows 7 Professional attests to that, but it’s also a nice portable all-purpose laptop. If you’re in the market for a reasonably priced portable laptop that can do 6 hours of battery life the Dell Vostro V131 is for you, check out the available models href="http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/vostro-v131/fs" target="_blank">here.
