Vostro A860 is the codename of the new Dell laptop that was launched in the US. The 15.6-inch notebook is considered a low-end model and its price is a proof - only $380 after rebates.

There are 2 options for the processor: an Intel Celeron, or a Pentium Dual Core. The graphics card is powered by a GMA X3100+ and a GM965 chipset, which seems good enough to provide a 1366×768 resolution. As for the memory RAM, you’ve got 2 options as well, 1GB or 2GB of DDR2.

The hard-drive can either have 120GB or 160GB of memory, while its battery is on the 4-cell category. Other features include a single speaker, 2 USB ports, Firewire, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 3-in-1 media vard reader.
