Dell Refreshes Its Vostro SMB Notebooks -- Adds Free Videoconferencing
Posted by Fredric Paul Thursday, Apr 2, 2009, 09:18 AM ET
As Dell introduces its new Vostro laptops for small businesses today, the company is touting an interesting extra: buy the optional Webcam, and get free Webcam and video chat software pre-installed.
The new notebooks in Dell's Vostro line aimed at small business include the 13.3" 1320 (starting at$569) the 15.4" Vostro 1520 ($629), and the 17" Vostro 1720 $649). Dell says they come with lots of new security options, including fingerprint readers and ecrypted hard drived with Wave Systems software for fast, easy data encryption. The models also have available solid state drives (SSDs) to replace the standard hard drives for even more data security.

But Dell is also offering a nod to shrunken travel budgets and SMBs' continuing need to stay connected by pre-installing its own Dell Video Chat software when you configure a Vostro with an optional $40 Webcam.
It's not that big a deal, as the company already makes the software available for free download, but it's still a nice touch.
