Anyone familiar with Dell products can probably name at least one of their product lines. Seriously now, how can anyone forget such brand names as Inspiron, Latitude, and the now defunct Dimension line. Well starting today, you can add a new product name to the mix. It’s called Vostro (which is Latin for “yours”) and it’s an entire new line of notebooks and desktops built with a focus on “professional design, quality, and value.” Vostro systems will be shipped with no trialware installed and will be customized to meet the “unique needs” of small businesses. Dell also introduced a new 19 inch monitor, color laser printer, and mono multifunction laser printer in addition to the Vostro lineup.

Let’s quickly go over the systems that make up the Vostro lineup (the following information is from the Dell press release here).
