I'm pretty sure you can get them in both XP and Vista.
We are currently leaning toward the Vostro 1000 at $499 which is in our price range but are still looking for any other better options. We are discouraged at work from buying refurbished equipment and we cannot do mail in rebates so most of the cheap Acer, etc. laptops at places like Tiger Direct are out. Does anyone have any hands on experiance with these Dell Vostro laptops programming FRC/VEX/BOE-Bots? Any incompatibility issues we should know about? I have always had pretty good luck with Dell in the past.
