Dell targets small business customers with ‘Vostro’ product line

By

Dell Inc. is launching a new line of notebook and desktop personal computers called “Vostro” that are aimed at small businesses with 25 or fewer employees. “Vostro” PCs will come with a suite of subscription-based services and a dedicated tech support staff. No word on if Intel or AMD processors are to be used in the Vostro product line.

Vostro, a Latin word meaning “yours,” joins Dell’s existing product lines, which include Inspiron for consumers, the Latitude and Optiplex for large companies, and the XPS for gamers. Vostro systems will be available with Windows Vista or XP operating systems, but won’t come with any so-called “trialware,” or sample versions of software that expire after a few weeks or months, Muehleman said. Muehleman also said Dell had assembled a staff of about 6,500 Dell employees to handle tech support for Vostro customers. The systems include three notebooks with screens ranging from 14 to 17 inches and starting prices from $449 to $799. A desktop version will be available starting at $319. Exact specifications weren’t available.
