Dell announced its latest Vostro notebook today called the Vostro A860. The notebook is an affordable 15.6-inch laptop for business use and has a widescreen LCD with anti-glare coating and it can be outfitted with Intel processors ranging from the Celeron to Core 2 Duo. The machine can be bought with Windows Vista or Ubuntu Linux as the OS.

A smaller Vostro A840 was also announced that is very similar to the A860, but has a smaller 14.1-inch LCD. Also announced is the Vostro A180 desktop for everyday business computing with Intel Celeron or Pentium dual-core processors. OS options include Linux and Windows Vista. The final new Vostro system is the A100 entry-level desktop that runs an Intel Atom processor and Ubuntu Linux for the OS. Pricing is unknown at this time.

"Within the world's emerging economies millions of new businesses are demanding just the technology they need, at the prices they can afford, from a vendor they can trust. Today we answer that need by introducing new products that join our existing Vostro product line," said Steve Felice, president, Dell Asia-Pacific/Japan. "Together with our partners, Dell will play an important role in bringing more technology to more people than ever before - whether in business or in the public sector. Vostro is a key building block to unleashing the potential of the Connected Era."
