Dell Vostro 200

 

The Vostro 200 is the first desktop PC in Dell's new small-business line of computers and peripherals. The machine's "200" designation might lead you to believe that it's a step above entry level, but from what we saw, it's more like a 100-level...

Small case ; SATA-connected optical drive

New model name may confuse new users. No included Internet security software.

The Dell's first small-business desktop is basically the business doppelganger of the Inspiron: similar case, specs, and configurations, but it is all business and comes with Vstore services that tailor it for the SMB space.

Dell Vostro 200 Desktop Computer

 

For small-business buyers with little or no access to IT help, the Vostro 200 is a terrific value. Just know that it isn't aimed at—and likely won't satisfy—home users.
