The super-slim and sleek Dell Vostro V13 ultra-portable laptop is a new offering from Dell. This 13.3" Vostro V13 laptop comes with either a single-core or dual core Intel ULV processor. How good the performance for the V13 is dependent on your processor choice. Also with the decreased size of this laptop Dell only put one DDR3 DIMM slot for memory, thought you should know if you were planning on upgrading memory yourself. Another thing you should know is that the Vostro V13 comes with integrated graphics and no HDMI connectivity.

If you compare the price to what you actually get it's not that bad of a deal. If your just looking for a ultra-portable under $800 then this is a good choice. Other possible choices you have are the HP Pavilion DM3, Lenovo ThinkPad Edge and Acer Apsire Timeline.
