Editorial note

The Dell Vostro 3500 is a laptop that offers satisfactory performance for everyday tasks thanks to its Intel® Core™ i5 processor. Its storage capacity of 320 GB with a 7200 RPM hard drive allows for quick access to data, while its 15.6-inch screen provides a decent visual experience, even if the resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels may not suit users with high display demands. However, it has some notable drawbacks. The internal memory of only 3 GB can quickly become limited for those who require running multiple applications simultaneously or more resource-intensive software. The lack of Bluetooth and modern ports, such as USB 3.0 or multiple HDMI ports, restricts connectivity options with recent devices. Additionally, its weight of 2400 g can make it less convenient to carry, especially for users on the go. In terms of user experience, the Vostro 3500 is generally well-regarded with a score of 78 due to its sober and professional design, which, while acceptable, may seem bulky. The battery life is rated at 80, providing extended use without frequent recharges. For its value for money, the product receives a score of 72, positioning itself as a reliable option for basic tasks, but the mentioned limitations could be points of contention for some buyers.
