Dell Inspiron R and Vostro 3000 hands-on (photos)

The new Vostro 3000 series laptops look a lot like the old ones, with a few tweaks: a raised chiclet-style backlit keyboard, and extra chrome lines around the touch pad.

The many interchangeable lids on the new Inspiron R line run the gamut from muted to...well, the opposite.

The back of the Inspiron R--lids attach and look seamless.

The Inspiron R's interior has a slightly more formal look, including what looks like a revamped keyboard design.
