Dell Vostro 3350 New Laptop Review

@edishyti1 I've used a Latitude D630 and E6510 now. D630 was silent, except for heavy CPU load. E6510 (I5 2.5Ghz) has the fan constantly on, even for basic Office work. Not loud but audible. This 3350 (i3 2310 at 2.1Ghz), with the Dell power profile is silent most of the time. When the fan comes on briefly is not loud (like E6510) Built quality is very good, feels solid and well refined. The only area that gets warm is below the fingerprint reader, where the WiFi and HDD are. I hope this helps

Wireless connection is a very complicated beast in which both the access point and the wireless card play an important part. So if the wireless connection is not stable, it can be that either one of the two have firmware or configuration issues. Not to mention interference or issues with sharing the medium. So I would make sure you have the latest drivers installed on both ends then try to change the channel on the access point. 1, 6 and 11 are the only ones everyone should be using. Good luck

@jsmithfreshprince hey, because this screen has a flat/ matte look the perceived contrast of the image is lower hence the "color reproduction" reports. If you look at any LCD screen from close distance you will see the individual pixels. At the normal viewing distance I do not find this screen to be worse than others that i've used, not the best either. Viewing angles - keep in mind this is a TN screen, so it performs as one. IPS diplays are in a different class. I believe that is a good deal!

MajinMan commented on 06 Oct 2011

Hi :) thank you for the video. I'm thinking about buying a laptop but i'm not sure whether to buy this one , or the vostro 3450 one. got some question about this one you have :) : 1. I found most components are quite the same except that the screen size in 3350 is 13 '' and the 3450 is 14- and still, the price of 3350 is more expensive than the latter..do you know why is that maybe? is3350 newer ? 2. you probably got the chance to use it for a while - how r u doing with the keyboard now?

LoveMTB commented on 07 Oct 2011

@MajinMan 1. Screen of 3450 is the same resolution which is not too high. I would prefer 3350 2. I love the keyboard, I have the backlit one. The one main deterrent for me when I looked to buy the laptop was the fact that 3450 has the HDD field replaceable, not customer replaceable. Meaning that it is very hard to replace/ upgrade it to an SSd, etc. and you can void warranty, Aside from that they are pretty much the same thing. 3350 is about the same price, only a few $s more. Good luck!

LoveMTB commented on 23 Jul 2011

@GoldenDurian I wouldn't call it the slimmest out there, but the price reflects that. It is the normal new laptop height when including the 4 cell battery, I understand that the 8 cell sticks out to the bottom a bit. I don't think it can be called heavy, it is very portable that's for sure. Here is from Dell Dimension: 12.96"/329.2mm Depth: 9.00"/228.5mm Height: (front/back) 1.07"-1.17"/27.3-29.8mm Starting weight: 4.50lb/2.04kg(4-cell battery + optical drive)

@realsoccerdude123 Hi again, it was preinstalled on mine. I might have it together with all recovery and driver CDs that came with it but like I said I did not use it. The built in speaker is pretty good for what it is. It is just one and it's pretty loud, good enough for the occasional use. As with all built in speaker expect it to respond better to the midrange frequencies. It is firing downward, and it is located on the left side of the keyboard underneath.

"The installed Seagate Momentus Thin supplies a capacity of 320 GB and works with fast 7200 revolutions per minute. A feature is the low construction height of only 7 millimeters. The cage inside the notebook however also bids the possibility of installing conventional hard disks with a height of 9 millimeters." - notebookcheck. Can anyone confirm this? I want to put a intel 520 SSD inside this baby, hope it gets updated for Ivy Bridge.

LoveMTB commented on 14 Jul 2011

@Tuscanic hi there, i like the keypad a lot; it is not flimsy and the keys provide good feedback. If you have the backlit one it's lovely. Touchpad - no complains, I usually don't use it but it works well. What I don't like is the touchpad buttons- the sound is of a cheap toy click, I can't believe they did't think about it. Being positioned a bit to the left doesn't feel unnatural when using it, I'm right handed. I hope this helps.

LoveMTB commented on 24 Sep 2011

@HH99HH99HH Hi there, I use the internal microphone sometimes for VoIP. If anything, it would work better than the old one you had. This Vostro has 2 microphones (to the left and right of the camera) so it can do effective beamforming and noise cancellation. Together with the "Andrea Microphone Technology" that comes installed you can create profiles and adjust it to your liking. It works quite well if not very well for what it is.

LoveMTB commented on 11 Jul 2011

@TheSpacePenguin Mine is getting warm around the fingerprint reader, from under the keypad down to the Intel and M$ stickers. But nowhere close to the touchpad area. Right under the touchpad is the HDD, maybe yours is running hotter than mine? I have the Seagate Momentus Thin-250Gb. No other heat issues that I can talk about, I have the i3, HD3000 as well.

LoveMTB commented on 27 May 2011

@fguihen yes, i have talked to techsupport and they confirmed the 7mm drive. The drive installed is ST250LT007, the 7mm Seagate Momentus Thin, you can google it. Intel 320 and X25-M SSDs are 7mm drives with a black, plastic spacer that can be removed. It has screws in the corners of the drive, removing it doesn't affect warranty. I hope this helps.

LoveMTB commented on 27 Jul 2011

@sighange As you probably know the 3350 has only one speaker located on the left hand side (tiny opening under the unit, left of the touchpad area). It is surprisingly loud but I wouldn't call it anything else. It definitely does the job for occasional use. Otherwise the sound quality is great if you use a pair of speakers or a headset.

LoveMTB commented on 26 May 2011

@adijux This one (the Core I3) comes with the 4 cell battery. After a few charging cycles I would get somewhere between 3-4 hours when using wi-fi, no BT, browsing and streaming media. I use sleep mode and for that it is very quick. Shut down probably takes a couple of seconds, but if it bothers you an ssd would make it almost instant.

LoveMTB commented on 12 Sep 2011

@moneymakingkid A quick search reveals that the min for Sims 2 is: Processor: 800 MHz processor or equivalent RAM: 256mb Video Memory: 32mb Hard Drive Space: 3.5gb Operating System: Windows 98/2000/ME/XP DirectX Version: v9.0 So I don't think you'd have a problem running it on this Vostro, even with the I3 config and 2Gb RAM.

LoveMTB commented on 31 May 2011

@fguihen Thanks for the feedback. So both 9.5 and 7mm drives fit in the 3350. Now I have to find out if there is a different bracket for the 9.5mm HDDs. I have asked Dell techsupport and...they told me again that only 7mm hard drives could fit in the 3350 and that the laptop "is not compatible with SSDs". Go figure...

LoveMTB commented on 05 Jun 2011

@lander77477 This laptop, the 3350-i3 version for Canada, does not come with the backlit keyboard and does not have the backlit keyboard as an option. All i5 abd i7 ones have the backlit keyboard as the default option. If you choose the different configuration you will see that the keyboard description is different.

LoveMTB commented on 16 Apr 2012

thx, if you're fine with the display everything else is smooth and working well. Keypad it's been holding well also, not much to complain about a year later. I have replaced the HDD with an SSD not long ago and it is even better now, very fast to boot or out of hibernation.

realsoccerdude123 commented on 24 Sep 2011

@mevnet Thanks for the reply...but pre installed? as far as I know you don't even have Windows 7 Installed onto your laptop if its packed.you should've got CDs for windows 7 and Office10. Also I read at places that the inbuilt speaker sound is very soft and low is this true?

LoveMTB commented on 27 May 2011

@fguihen well, we both know more about iit, don't we?:) The back plastic cover has some spacers buit in, wondering if there is the extra 3mm in there for a 9.5mm HDD. For the metal bracket, maybe you can use longer screws? Let me know how it goes with the Crucial SSD, thanks

LoveMTB commented on 01 Oct 2011

@realsoccerdude123 If you have it it is Fn+F6. You have a couple of brightness steps to choose from. Once enabled it comes on every time you touch the keyboard and turns off by itself after a while. I don't know how you set that timer, if you can. Enjoy your Vostro!

LoveMTB commented on 15 Jul 2011

@Tuscanic I'm sorry but this is a loaded question that I cannot answer. Depending on what you're planning to run on it you can find a lot of laptops in many configurations. This Vostro 3350 laptop performs very well for my needs, that I can tell you.

TheSpacePenguin commented on 09 Jul 2011

I received my Vostro 3350 a few days ago. I've noticed it gets pretty warm on the lower right hand side (touchpad area) and less so slightly above that area. Wondering if you have noticed the same thing or any other heat issues? (i5 w. Intel HD 3000)

HH99HH99HH commented on 24 Sep 2011

geat review but i just want u to try the microphones on the laptop. i had an inspiron which js very old but the mic is really nice when i tried and recorded a short track. may u pls try to record and tell me what u think about it

LoveMTB commented on 02 Jun 2011

@xAcerxAspirex hi there, good point. After a few charge cycles I was able to get 3-4 hours with a mix of browsing and media streaming. This i3 3350 comes with a 4 cell battery. They have a 8 cell battery as an option as well.

fredury commented on 03 Jul 2012

hi mevnet, I was just wondering. I'm planning to get the 3350 for some gaming (gta 4, mafia 2, la noire) and mutimedia work (video/movie editing). specs are core i5 2450m & radeon 6490m. Do you think it could handle the job?

LoveMTB commented on 06 Nov 2011

@m4r71jn In Canada the I3 version does not have the option of backlit keypad (but you can buy it separately from Dell Parts and install yourself). As far as I know all other versions come with it by default. Enjoy!

It's tough to find a review this well done. Thank you for getting to the key aspects of the notebook and characteristics not readily apparent in the product description (so many reviews drone on about the minutiae). Hopefully Dell will refresh the series with Sandybridge, which should address battery time issues somewhat.

Paul Somerville commented on 25 Jan 2011

Great review. Why would Dell have a battery that you can't swap out? (Is this a new fad?) Especially since the battery life is so short, it would be great to have a second battery to swap in. But you can't. I agree - major flaw. Of course, I wouldn't mind one for free. :-)

Axel Maverick commented on 12 Apr 2011

@deryler at first its awesome but i kinda used it while charging so it shortens the battery life. so yeah the bttry kinda weak. my advice, dont use it while charging or you'll end up like me; a fully charged battery can only be used for 2hours tops

Michael Acosta commented on 02 Apr 2011

I find it interesting that I've gotten easily over 4 hours with the V13 (triple booting Win 7, XP sp3, and Linux) and this new version only puts out 1-3 hours? *Sigh* I was looking forward to upgrading = \

tommytqt1 commented on 23 Jan 2011

Man, I would love to have this one. Thanks TechBargains for showing me this video. Now just keep my fingers across.... :P and save some money (damn how long it will take me to haven enough $)

BulletQuantum commented on 22 Jan 2011

please give more attention to the hybrids featuring AMD's APU. It is better than the intel atom, especially in graphics. It is making its foray into the "hybrid" market.

tommytqt1 commented on 24 Jan 2011

Hi Jeff, i just want to know what movie that you tested on the laptop? Look interesting, i want to see it but i don't know the name :-). Thank you very much
