However, Dell installs hard drives with a height of 7 mm in the Vostro 2520. The base unit's entire top has to be disassembled if the laptop's hard drive is to be replaced. Contrary to the specs on Dell's website, the laptop supports a maximum of 8 GB RAM and not only 4 GB. The laptop sports two working memory banks. However, there is always a risk of scratching the case. The hooks can be pressed with a flathead screwdriver. The procedure is not easy because the hooks always recoil. The keyboard has to be removed by pressing four snap-fit hooks toward the display in order to access the working memory and Wi-Fi module. However, accessing them is quite tedious and very inconvenient. All components in the laptop are basically accessible. The Vostro 2520 does not prove to be particularly maintenance-friendly.

If you are planning to install Windows 7/8 on the laptop and are connected to the DSL router via Wi-Fi, you should first download the corresponding drivers from Dell's website. Windows 8 did not provide drivers for the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module - but Windows 7 did not either. We could install Microsoft's latest Windows 8 version on the laptop without problems it detected almost all hardware immediately. The necessary drivers can be downloaded from Dell's website. If you buy the Vostro 2520 directly from Dell, you can configure it with either Windows 7 or Windows 8. Our test device is delivered with Ubuntu Linux 11.10 preinstalled.

It supports the 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi standards and also supplies the laptop with Bluetooth 4.0. The Vostro 2520 harbors Dell's own Wi-Fi module, Dell 1704. It's not possible to open the lid with only one hand because the hinges are pulled too tight. The hinges keep the lid firmly in position. The lid is quite easily warped and its back can be dented without much effort. The lid's back is coated with a ribbed, rubber layer that protects the back from bumps and scratches. Nevertheless, the latter exhibits an overall more stable build.

The Vostro 2520 does not have to fear a comparison with the Vostro 3560's casing. It can only be warped slightly when held at its two front corners and produces a noise in that case. The casing's stiffness is also acceptable in view of the price. It yields more intensely when the casing is pressed in the keyboard's lower left area. The keyboard's bezel and the gaps between the keys are glossy and downright attract fingerprints. Regrettably, Dell has decided to not completely rely on matte surfaces. The silver-gray plastic bezel that surrounds the base unit supplies a color contrast. The Vostro 2520's casing features a dark, matte gray color, which Dell has dubbed "London Slate".

HP's 650 and Asus' Pro P53E-SO102X do not sport any metal parts. The Vostro 2520's casing is mainly made of plastic. Only the base unit's top is metal and gives the laptop a much higher quality look.
