Dell Vostro is a line of computers from Dell aimed at the small business market. 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 retired, and the Inspiron line changed to include all computers for the home market — regardless of form factor.
