Connecting and collaborating on-the-go has never been easier. Now, get the mobility your business demands, without sacrificing the power it needs. This durable, lightweight, 13-inch Dell Vostro 3350 laptop, designed for small business, helps you stay connected and in control, with style and confidence. This is another laptop that has been designed especially for small and medium businesses, and also comes with an impressive configuration.

First, a look at the computing experience it has on offer. A user can experience smooth multitasking and lightning-fast performance with DDR3 memory. A user can take his business to the next level by pairing Vostro?s next-generation Intel Core processors with an upgrade to Genuine Windows 7 Professional OS. There are smarter graphics too: Literally, a user can boost graphics performance and optimise battery life with ATI HD switchable graphics. When requiring less power, the laptop automatically switches to the smart Intel integrated HD graphics?helping deliver more performance on a single battery charge.

There is faster data transfer too. Two USB 3.0 ports enable data transfers at up to 10x the speed of USB 2.0. Vostro laptops also include Bluetooth 3.0, which transfers at up to 24 Mbps, allowing a user to move large files in seconds. Also, the laptop promises to bring the boardroom to you with an high definition webcam, digital array microphones to reduce background noise, preinstalled Skype and SRS Premium Voice Pro software for state-of-the-art collaboration.

This nifty and sleek laptop boasts of a 13.3-inch high definition display, and weighs just over 2 kg. It is powered by a second generation Intel Core i7-2620M processor, 500 GB HDD and 4 GB RAM. The processor comes with Microsoft Windows 7 Professional edition. Amongst the many high points of the laptop is its 8-cell battery which is placed in a way that it elevates the laptop from the screen, making it comfortable to use. It also gave 2 hours and 40 minutes of backup, which is one of the best scores. The laptop?s keyboard is well placed and a breeze to use. Its touchpad is smooth and has separate keys for mouse clicks, thus eliminating any dead spots.

While the configuration options are available from R41,990, the unit under review would come for R65,912, which is on the higher side. Another good thing is that the laptop offers one year next business day onsite support warranty.

The bottomline: Good specifications, performance and battery backup along with onsite warranty make this laptop a good choice for small businesses.
