Dell Vostro (Latin for yours) was a line of business-oriented laptop and desktop computers manufactured by Dell aimed at small to medium range businesses.
Prior to Vostro, Dell's home and small business computers were sold under the same lines: Dimension for home and small business desktops, and Inspiron for home and small business portables. With the introduction of Vostro, the Dimension line was discontinued, and the Inspiron line changed to include all computers for the home market; regardless of form factor. One marked difference between the Inspiron line and the Vostro line is that the Vostro line is cheaper and comes with shorter technical support hours.
Vostro was introducted in 2007, and existed until 2024 when it was merged into Inspiron.
