The underside of the base is furnished with two generous access panels, so that a system upgrade or maintenance work can be carried out relatively easily. Happily this is also true of the area above the disk drive.

If black seems too plain, you can also acquire the Vostro 1520 in ‘ Deep Cherry Red’. With an ‘ Obsidian Black’ model, the only glossy surfaces are the lid and the strip above the keyboard they are liable to pick up fingerprints and other marks.
The matt surfaces, the anti-glare screen (though a glossy ‘True Life’ screen is also available) and its businesslike black appearance also match well with its intended use. While performing office tasks such as word processing or using spreadsheets, you will be grateful for the somewhat taller format. The slightly tapered shape of the notebook, with an downward-sloping base, makes for comfortable typing.ĭefying the current trend for producing laptops in 16:9 format, the 1 5.4 inch Vostro 1520 has a 16:10 aspect ratio. Weighing around 2.5 kg and with dimensions of 357 x 258mm x 38mm (closed), the Vostro 1520 is easy to carry but still has an attractive screen size.
