Dell announces four new Vostros to address emerging markets

Looking to sell to the world’s emerging economies, Dell announced four new Vostro systems today – two Vostro laptops (A860 and A840) and two Vostro dekstops (A180 and A100). Because businesses and organizations in these parts of the globe tend to be on a tight budget, the new Vostros are designed to be affordable and practical. One of the best things about the systems is the choice of having either Ubuntu Linux or Windows Vista OS. These new systems will be available in more than 20 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America and will be available through channel partners and directly through Dell. Here are the details of the new systems:
