Dell has announced they have two new laptops joining its Vostro series, the A860 and A840. Sporting almost the same features, the Dell Vostro A860 comes with a 15.6-inch HD LCD while the A840 has a smaller 14.1-inch WXGA LCD, both are sporting anti-glare widescreen features.

A quick rundown of the features and specifications of the basic configurations for both laptops will give us either an Ubuntu Linux or Windows Vista for OS, black color design, a built-in integrated network, modem and wireless connectivity. Bluetooth comes in as an optional connectivity feature. Both laptops also feature an integrated PC Card slot, either a single or dual core Intel Celeron or a Pentium dual core for their processors, up to 1GB of RAM, built-in optical drives, up to 160GB for the A860 and 120GB for the A840, and DVD/CD-RW combo drive or 8x DVD+/-RW with double-layer DVD+/-R write capability.

Other than those features, the Vostro A860 and A840 are pretty much your standard laptops. The Vostro A840 is supposed to come out anytime this week while the Vostro A860 will be out sometime in September. Pricing for these two laptops vary depending on their pre-configurations.
