Vostro: Built for Small Business

The first family of Dell computers designed specifically for small business, Dell™ Vostro™ gives you the flexibility to choose exactly the PC you need—without the added costs you don’t. Because when it comes to finding the right small-business computer, "full-featured" and "affordable" should never be mutually exclusive.

Big-Business Features for Small-Business Budgets

Don’t sacrifice the features you crave just to stay under budget. With the Vostro 3500, you get design, performance and productivity choices normally reserved for big-business laptops—at a price that’s right for small business.

Design that Commands Attention:

As strong as it is sophisticated, the aluminum case on all new Vostro laptops radiates professionalism in your choice of 3 elegant colors.

Ready to Do More:

Enjoy powerful productivity on the go with up to Intel® Core™ i5 mobile processors, Windows^® 7 and up to 6GB* offered, 8 GB supported* of DDR3 memory*.

Productivity You Can See:

Add up to 512MB of NVIDIA^® GeForce^® discrete graphics to get more from your visuals, and choose the optional touch screen (coming in April) for the productivity benefits of Windows^® 7 touch capability.

Long-Life Battery:

No power outlet? No problem. Choose an optional 9-cell battery to enjoy extended battery life.

Support that Stands Behind You

Running a small business is challenging enough without having to be your own IT department. With a range of customized support options behind every Vostro laptop we sell, Dell has the resources to keep your business moving.

Support that Understands Small Business:

Stop paying for per-incident help-desk issues. Choose Dell ProSupport for End Users* to get specialized, 24/7 tech support that understands small business—all for one low, upfront price.

From help with office network connections to On-Site System Setup, Dell installation services can help get you up and running quickly so you can stay focused on your business.

The Security Small Business Needs

Dell understands that data security isn’t just a big-business problem. We’ve designed the Vostro 3500 with a range of options to help keep your small business protected every day.

Proven Data Protection from Dell:

Accidents happen, but that doesn’t mean you can’t plan for them. Choose Dell DataSafe Online Backup for a full-service 24/7 data backup and recovery solution—no extra hardware or IT staff required.
