Dell: Small Business vs Home/Office

Inspiron 1520 vs Vostro 1500

What are the key differences? Possibly looking at one of these models with 2GB RAM and a 8600GT and the Vostro always seems to come out cheaper with better specs...Are there any major differences between their design/internals?

What do I need to order through Small Business section? Is it just the style of laptop or do you need to actually prove that you own/work for a small business?

Vostro is built better with metal body and full black. You can just order normally no need to prove anything.

Ive got the vostro 1400 and as yet can't fault it.

Im not sure weather its my laptop or whatever but i get little to no fingermarks on mine.

Also the sealed keyboard is a plus. A good safeguard for any little accidents.

Go the Vostro.
