I've got a Vostro 1400, and bought my folks a Vostro 1000. They're basically just recolored, re-badged Inspirons. No better, no worse.

They're fairly cheaply built, and when I bought my 1400, it came with Vista, no other options. It was hell slipstreaming the SATA driver onto my old XP disc so I could install XP onto it, but I eventually got it working.

Although I opted for the familiar Intel 3945 wifi, it's flakier than it was in my Inspiron 6400.

All in all, it's a good cheap machine.
