Vostro 1500 v 1510

Anyone have any thoughts on which one is best

 

Better build quality, best bang for your buck notebook out there =1500

Poorer build quality, light and thin =1510

IMO 1500 > 1510

 

I like the new lids of the 1510. It also depends on your budget too. You can get the same build on the 1500 for $150+ less. You might want to get the 1500 soon if you decide on that because it might go away like the 1400!

 

to be honest i have a 1510, but i am returning it for a 1500.

Just trying to suss out if i have made the right decision

 

Yeah, Dell has the 30 day return policy without shipping or re-stocking costs.

 

1500 > 1510 cuz 8600M GT > 8400M GS

 

Right peeps. I got the new 1500 yesterday.

I still have the 1510 at home as it is being collected on Monday. I can say first hand that the 1500 is miles better.

The 1500 does not look as good as the 1510, but i am more than happy with the build of the 1500, thee 1500 feels so much sturdier. If you need a machine to type on quite alot, the 1500 has a rock solid keyboard.

The two machines i have are listed below with their specs:-

Vostro 1500:

I must say listening to reviews on here and taking the gamble i am glad i ordered the 1500 and i am now returning the 1510. Although i do like the 1510 machine, the build is no where near as good when compared to the 1500, the wireless N card is slower than the Intel A/B/G i now have.

If you want a light portable nice machine well worth the price get the 1510. If you want a heavier rocksolid sturdy game machine get the 1500......

 

^^^ I agree with your assessment. I own a Vostro 1500 and 1700 and while I had the chance to buy a 1510 it never entered my mind. The original Vostro's feel solid and well built compared to the 1510.

Besides I already own a T60 so I wasn't nearly compelled to buy a 1510. Congrats on your purchase.

 

How did you still manage to get the 1500 lol as its not listed anymore? I assume you are from the UK?

 

It's still on U.S. website.
