Breaking news: Dell to launch small business PC range

The PC maker is preparing to launch a series of desktops and PCs aimed at small to medium sized businesses

Information on a range of desktop and laptop machines aimed at smaller businesses is already available on the companies US site, with the official launch expected at 5.00pm today. We're expecting more UK details at that time.

Known as Vostro, Dell claims the systems are tailored to the needs of small companies as they "come without annoying trialware pre-installed. Customers said they hates it, so we took it way".

Specs available on the US Site for the laptop models start with the entry-level Vostro 1000 – which comes with a 15.4 inch screen – to the high-end Vostro 1700.

The desktop machines come in either the Vostro 200 Mini Tower or Vostro 200 Slim Tower form-factors.

Michael Dell will be hosting a WebCast which will cover the launch of Vostro. "Global research Dell conducted in partnership with the International Council for Small Business showed that SMB’s continue to struggle with the complexity and cost of IT. The webcast will address these concerns, as well as other findings and feature an in-person and Web-based customer Q&A session," the company claims.
