Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E320 (i3-2310M) Subnotebook review

Compare with: Dell Vostro V131 Notebook review

 

[p1n3apqlexpr3ss]

Cheers WR2, I've gone ahead and ordered the E320, can't beat it down here value wise. That Vostro is $300 more expensive here

 

[WR2]

If there is a $300 difference in price then it's a really Excellent Value!

 

[p1n3apqlexpr3ss]

Actually it's WAY more than $300 difference... actually configured it so its essentially the same as what I'm getting from Lenovo. Dell is truly horrible price wise these days...

E320: $836 + free BT mouse, case and sleeve
V131: $1318
