Dell Latitude D505 Specification: Pentium M 1.60Ghz 512 Mb 40 Gb RJ45 connecton 2200BG Wireless Modem DVD ROM with writer
This is a smart looking laptop, although the screen release catch is very noddy and flimsy. It has a firewire connection so you can connect a digital camera to it for instance which is rather handy and a nice feature. The mouse pad is really nice and has smooth movement, which is great as some acer laptops I've used recently have been really slow sticky movement.
It has built in wireless, however it doesn't have an external switch to enable or disable which is a little annoying. Same with bluetooth, it supports bluetooth but there is no external switch to disable or enable it. There is also no phsical light that shows you your wireless or bluetooth connectivity status, which to be honest is really handy especially when you work with users who have restricted access to tools, so unfortunately you have to rely on windows.
It's quite a heavy laptop for it's size, but I have had heavier. Battery should last for about 4 hours from fully charged. The graphics and sound are nice. There are the usual speaker socket on one side, there isn't a physical volume controler though. Again this would have been nice.
