Dell Vostro 15.4" 1900x1200 mistake

djsalt

Hi, I think dell are currently updating their site. I believe they have made a mistake on their Dell™ Vostro 1510 Laptop.
Usually it costs a lot of money to increase the standard resolution 1280x800 screen to a higher resolution model, I've just added one to my basket with a 1900x1200 screen and it's costing me nothing extra! (I belive it's over £100 more usually?)

Go to the Dell website, select Laptop - Vostro 1510 then the lower end £349 model and click customise. You will note that it's charging £0 extra for any monitor upgrade (not extra monitor but TFT panel upgrades).

Hope this link works:

Maybe this is helpful to some, it certainly is where I work. I do realise that this is a rather high resolution for some persons so make sure your eyesight is good if you plan on using it at its native resolution!

Thanks

Biometric finger print reader is also free, not sure if its worth having, but free is free!

Is the rest of spec @ £349 any good, or are other upgrades worth addidng?

If you want to avoid eye strain with that high res you need to turn increase the DPI setting in display preferences to 150 I think it is. It looks great but some apps don't appear correctly because they haven't been tested like that. Like the odd text label is cut off, especially in installers.

I have a 24" monitor Dell at that resolution and 96dpi and dont get any eye strain but I am use to using pc's all day

it seems to include everything in the price including memory e.t.c

Just looked again, it says included in the price when you click on anything, but just look at the price on the right hand side, that does go up.

Doesn't seem to work now - every option increases the price.
