    It looks like Dell just released on their UK site a new Vostro laptop called the A860. I'm surprised because I haven't heard anything about this before launch and the lack of mention on the boards.

    It seems that they come pre-configured, which means the choice to configure the specs is pretty much limited to what they have offered already.

    IMO-They look much better than the standard Vostros :)[/QUOTE]

    I agree, I'm wondering when they'll be released here...

    I know, that's what puzzled me too. Maybe Dell UK begged for a "lower cost" vostro (like our 1000 series-They don't have that over there.)

    it has been here in Australia for some times, but the available configurable items are very limited.

    This is on the Small Business Site in the US now. 15.6" screen, 16:9 aspect ratio. Apparently emerging markets were in need of an HD-style screen, LOL. Only 1366x768 resolution though.

    It didn't have much in the way of options. The 15.6'' screen caught my eye but for the most part I don't like it as much as the older Vostro 1000. The Vostros never were the greatest for competing price-wise with the "cheapest possible" theory though. The Vostro 1000 was alright in my book however.

    I'm still mad that Dell hasn't put out a true successor to the Vostro 1400 (and I'm glad that I got mine when I did)
