Dell Vostro 3300, 13.3" "Workshop" pc. 64Bit
Intel Core i3 370M 2.4Ghz (expandable to I5 430M)
3 GB ram (expandable to 8)
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics
320 GB hdd

I bought mine in 2010 and used it as a school computer. used it on my workbench.
It is probably somewhat filled with metal filings from my time at the gunsmithing school. Still runs like a charm. A bit weak battery capacity.
It is not in daily use, as i prefer stationary computers. But there has never been a single tick about it.
Have been considering using linux, but it still runs on the same W7 install. and it runs well.

It does not have fantastic graphics capabilities. with the intel built-in graphics. but it plays older games at an ok framerate. world of tanks goes at 3-5 FPS...

a link to a review of the newer version of the computer.
And the speakers are HORRIBLE.... I use the music angel for sound.

I am very happy and pleased with the computer. and will be sad the day it dies.
