Dell Vostro 3500

[macfanuk]

I am looking to buy a business laptop and after looking at HP's Probooks and Samsungs business laptops, it seems I can get a better spec system from the Dell Vostro Range.

I've owned a Vostro before but it was quite a naff quality laptop in all honesty but the one review I found about the new Vostro 3500 series says that they have made it more sturdy and used Aluminium in the casing.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen or used a Vostro 3500 and could comment on the quality of it?

Also, what are the key differences between the i3 and i5 version processors? Are the i3 like the Celerons and i5 like the Core 2 Duos?

i3 is a dual core cpu and a i5 is a dual core cpu also but it contains to virtual cores as well so in theory its similar to a quad core. Both are not based on celerons but i believe more like core 2 duos but better.
