Notebook Review: Dell Vostro 3700

A gorgeous 17.3-inch display is just the start of Dell's small-business flagship portable -- there's also everything from a roomy keyboard to webcam conferencing with remote desktop sharing. SmallBusinessComputing.com's Jamie Bsales fires it up and hits the road.

If you're the type that feels desktop PCs are so 1990s, Dell has a powerful new notebook that may make you forget about minitower PCs for good.

And at a starting price of just $629, we're sure it's a whole lot less expensive than any desktop you bought back then.

With its 16.2 by 10.7-inch footprint and 6-pound weight, you won't want to lug the 3700 with you on airplanes.
