There is a discrepancy between the title and the description on Amazon. It could be an even older 11th gen CPU according to the title. Vostro is Dell's budget line for business (roughly equivalent to Inspiron on the home consumer side).

This price is too much for an older device. $300 with a 12th gen CPU would be a slick deal. If it is an 11th gen, I wouldn't be tempted even at half this price.

It's not a Vostro. They haven't made a Vostro laptop in over 5 years.

The 3520 is an Inspiron.

Please read the amazon product details. Are they lying?
" This Vostro 3520 laptop features a 12th Gen Intel Core i3-1215U Processor (10 MB cache, 6 core, 8 threads, 1.20 GHz to 4.40 GHz) processor, makes it easy to conduct your essential daily tasks at the office, at home, and anywhere else between."

I don't know what they are actually selling, but there was definitely a Vostro 3520 model [dell.com] which came with either an 11th gen or a 12th gen CPU. There was even a Vostro 3530 [dell.com] with a 13th gen CPU. Then, at some fairly recent point, Dell merged the Vostro line with Inspiron [dell.com].

From what I remember when I was up-to-date on Dell's offerings, the Vostro and the Inspiron line were internally equivalent and shared the same naming scheme. The first digit of the model number marked the tier / series (with the 3000 series being budget, 5000 series being midrange and the 7000 series being the top). The third digit marked the generation / model year and generally matched the Intel CPU generation. Thus, the 3520 model from around 2022 with Intel's 12th gen CPU was succeeded by the 3530 model in 2023 with Intel's 13th gen CPU.

Now you all know more than you ever needed about Dell's PC naming nomenclature. Big Grin
