Computer vendors HP and Dell start to sell notebooks with Windows Vista operating system this weekend.
HP includes Windows Vista Home Premium Edition in Pavilion notebook’s price, while Business and Ultimate will increase the computer’s price for $40 and $115, respectively. Select Pavilion models include Home Basic Edition, which decreases the overall price for $35 when compared to same laptops with Home Premium.
The Home Premium Edition of Microsoft’s new OS is also included in price when purchasing one of Dell’s XPS notebooks. For Vista Business and Vista Ultimate you should pay additional $70 and $170, respectively. Dell Inspiron laptop series are currently available only with Windows XP or Vista Business.
HP “strongly recommends” a minimum of 1GB of memory when purchasing the notebook with offered Home Premium, Business or Ultimate editions.
On the other side, to optimize Windows Vista, Dell recommends customers consider systems configured with dual-core or quad-core processors, 2GB of main memory for optimal performance, a dedicated graphics card with 256 MB of memory or more and large hard drives.
