Dell Vostro A90 Review
By business laptop
If you are familiar with Dell’s Inspiron Mini 9, the Vostro A90 is its newest version. The thing that differentiates them, for one, is their color options. This laptop is ultraportable with its 8.9-inch display size and 2.36lbs of weight. Now, this can boost Dell’s pride in producing another business laptop that adds to their line up of notebooks. And this might excel on its physical aspect, but if we are to see the inner side of it, this could be less viable.
This small business laptop is housing a 1GB RAM that is ticking with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor. Noticeably, this is another one of the specifications that A90 and Mini 9 have in common. This is then where the users find this laptop a little frail as it can lag when processing huge amount of data. As most customers would say, this is not the fastest laptop but it can somehow do what it has to do. Another downside is its not-so-impressive 1024 x 600 resolution display. Another thing, it has a low-capacity SSD.
But on the bright side, the minimal weight and the minute size is really a great plus factor of this design. It can be placed at any given small bags which enables you to walk carelessly without the idea of you bringing an additional weight wherever you may go. The working hours of this laptop is also acceptable with its battery life. It can give you enough time to finish your half-day of work before signing out.
The feature that keeps this laptop cling on the top list is its capability to be upgraded easily. It can be considered feeble during your first few runs but if you upgrade some of the stock elements that plays a vital role in processing data, then it could run smoothly without lagging.
The keyboard of the Vostro A90 is in good insertion. It has a great combination of keycap spacing while it is downsized. With this, it can let you experience a touch typist’s ideal keyboard. Along with its keyboard is its touchpad that is smooth and sensitive.
In totality, the Vostro A90 is a good business laptop from Dell. It provides transportability and durability in a great way. Though it can run in a lesser speed and power in processing data, it can possibly do its work at a given time. Therefore, this might not be that fast, but it can ease up your workload. The architecture of this laptop is suited for business professionals from small to medium-ange one.
