Dell is out with a line of laptops and desktops aimed at the small business market. They've named the line Vostro, which is latin for... Oh, who cares, it's a dumb name. Never mind the name, it's a great idea. Businesses of a dozen or two people (SMEs) can't afford to have in-house tech support, and need inexpensive, powerful machines ready to go out of the box, with remote technical assistance available. In Vostro, the Texas-based computer specialist is releasing not only a new line-up of SME hardware but also a complete range of Dell services intended to make business life easier to handle for smaller enterprises embracing the Vostro approach.
