Dell: Vostro 1220 12” Laptop w/Core 2 Duo P8600, 3GB RAM, 7200RPM 250GB HD & More $79

[购物指南]

There's no denying the popularity of netbooks, but there's something to be said for a very portable notebook that doesn't skimp on performance. Right now, you can get a Dell Vostro 1220 12" Laptop with some impressive hardware including a P8600 processor and 250GB 7200RPM hard drive for $799. Let's have a look at what you get:

• Windows Vista Home Basic
• Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz, 3MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) 25w
• Obsidian Black
• 12.1" WXGA LCD Display with TrueLife
• Integrated 1.3MP Webcam and Digital Mic with webcam and video chat software
• 3GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz, 2 DIMM
• 250GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with Free Fall Sensor
• 8X DVD+/-RW DVD+/-R Roxio and Cyberlink PowerDVD DX 8.2
• Dell Wireless 1510 802.11a/g/n Draft Mini Card
• 4-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

We're impressed by the inclusion of the P8600, 7200RPM 250GB hard drive with free fall sensor, and the A/G/N wireless card. This is the first time we've seen this kind of hardware in a 12" laptop at such a price (that is, comfortably under $1000). You should also note that the Vostro 1220 comes with an integrated webcam and an optical drive -- something you don't always see on 12" laptops.

If you still need some additional functionality, the 6-cell battery upgrade will cost you $60, while Bluetooth is $30. Shipping is free.
