Press the palm of your hand on top of the lid and see that the V131 has stood the HP EliteBook aluminum-based 5330m ($ 899.99 direct, 3.5 stars). At 13 by 9.1 by 0.8 inches (RDC) is almost as thin as the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 ($ 1.499 Direct, 3.5 stars) HP 5330m, all of which, like the V131, the lack of a optical drive. The large battery 65WH V131 offers a slight elevation of the back, although not as steep as the Dell 3350 Battery 8 cells.

Its HDMI port, multimedia card slot, VGA, Ethernet and webcam are functions that can also be found in Dell and HP 5330M 3350.

While a processor critical updates are shared with a laptop, it is a compelling upgrade that updates the means to move from a low voltage CPU voltage standard (think low power to full power ). The 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5-2410M processor is a monster jump in speed, and with 4 GB of memory, V131 easily prevailed over its predecessor in all our speed tests. He scored 2.56 in Cinebench R11.5 and finished with Photoshop CS5 test in 4 minutes 21 seconds, which was slightly behind the HP 5330M (2.78 in Cinebench, 3:53 in CS5), since the latter has a higher clocked Core i5.

Dell Vostro V131 has been updated to include a Core i5 standard battery voltage and large 65WH. It has most features present in its activities, siblings and does not cost nearly as much. The laptop that small business who beat V131, his brother and sister, Dell 3350, if the battery lasts longer and the total price of the budget is more user friendly.
