DELL LATITUDE D600

Advantages: Has a good Touch pad
Disadvantages: only one usb port

...will be satisfied. Also, both of them (yes, even the track stick) include the tap-clicking function, which is a small nuance, but nice. Basically, you tap once on the touch pad or track stick and it'll be as if you clicked the left mouse button. Saves time! The battery lasts about 4 hours if you're running minimal programs, such as Microsoft Word. (When you run on battery power, the screen automatically darkens a notch to conserve power.) If you play music or watch DVDs on battery power, it's about a 2-hour duration. All the RAM, drivers, and system requirements are up-to-date. I don't know any hardcore technical details. All I know is that everything works very fast The speakers are mediocre. It doesn't play very loudly, which is understandable, because this is a small laptop with limited speaker space, and the sound is flat...

Review of Dell Latitude D600

Latitude D600 - The tough laptop

Advantages: Very robust, large screen & a solid performer!
Disadvantages: Fairly large and can get quite hot.

...I bought this laptop almost a year ago and have not had a problem with it to date. The design of the laptop is aimed at robustness and portability... all the hardware has been installed with the 'travelling salesman' at mind. I purchased this item as necessary equipment for my university course instead of buying a university recommended IBM ThinkPad. After much research I found that the IBMs tended to be a lot less reliable and the dell had good reviews all round - I have no been disappointed! The D600 does everything my home PC can do and more, with a lot less problems. The laptop/notebook is not the cheapest out there but the value for money and quality of the product is excellent! The only drawbacks I have found is that the hard-drive does get hot and you can feel this when you are typing; the heat is not uncomfortable however...

Dell latitude d630 (Y) !!x

Advantages: great memory, easy to use, lots of extras !
Disadvantages: not a built in webcam

...The dell latitude D630 ..... Measurements... The screen is 30cm, almost 12 inches horizontally. And 19cm, 7.5 inches vertically. The actual top part of the frame is 33.5cm, 13.25 inches horizontally. And 24cm, 9.5 inches vertically. The bottom part of the frame is obviously just the same as the top part. When the laptop is shut is measures just over three cm which is 1.25 inches. So it isn't that thick but there again isn't super slim either. Battery... The battery cable for this laptop stretches from one end of a small room to the other so is quite long. It charges up to four hours and there is a little battery icon which is filled in blue when it's fully charged and goes down as the battery level goes down. You can also check exactly how many hours and minutes you have left, and also the percentage by putting the cursor...

Review of Dell Latitude D630

Great student and all-purpose computer!

Advantages: Many features in one laptop, great student computer.
Disadvantages: No floppy disc drive.

...I'm currently in college, and the college offered us Dell Latitude D600's at discounted prices. I agree with their choice at picking this laptop, because it's a great all-purpose laptop for a wide variety of uses. Okay, first, hardware. This laptop is not the lightest out there, for those of you wanting featherweight laptops, but I carry mine with me all the time in my bookbag and I don't feel the weight to be an issue. The matte screen gives crisp, vibrant images that are easy on the eyes, without any annoying glares. The DVD ROM is excellent because you can use it to burn CDs and DVDs, in addition to playing them. Perfect for students (or just anyone in general) who have limited room on their dinky desks and don't want eighty plug-ins sticking out from all over the place. There is NO floppy disc drive, but those are becoming...

A safe bet

Advantages: Good sturdy corporate workhorse
Disadvantages: Catch, foot & screws missing after one year of use

...The Dell D series of laptops came out in 2003 to replace the C series laptops (how did they come up with such a catchy name?). The main ranges are the D400, D600 and D800 spot the pattern yet. The D600 is the middle of the range in terms of size, weight and features. This machine has been designed like its predecessor to be a common platform (The C-series had 7 years in the same form) that will provide long lasting stability for those that use and maintain the laptops. So if you DVD drive stops working, your IT department can swap one out without worrying about whether it will fit. The D platform is based around the Intel Pentium M processor and the Centrino chipset. The lower clock speeds of the Pentium may appear underpowered to their desktop rivals, but this chip has been fundamentally redesigned to get more work done per...

Advantages: Very Easy to use, fast
Disadvantages: Cost

...means enter or execute depending what you have put the pointy thing on. The software to write Ciao reports called Word is in there as is the one called Excel which does all your sums and keeps a record of your figures for you. There is also Outlook so you can send people letters without troubling the Post Office. Just like a big computer it also connects to the internet so you can keep up to date with all my reviews in Ciao. Seriously though the Dell Latitude series are excellent notebook PCs. Very stylish and easy to use they are an excellent choice....

Review of Dell Latitude Range

  Dell Latitude D820 PC Notebook

Advantages: very powerful machine. Excellent support from Dell
Disadvantages: None

...I left my old company a couple of months ago and took up my new position with my current company who very kindly issued me with a brand new Dell Latitude D820 laptop. I've had an opportunity to put it through its paces for the last 8 weeks and this review will cover my experiences to date. In terms of specification this laptop is much more powerful than my old one. For starters it has a dual core processor. For those of you not familiar with dual core, this means that the main processor actually consists of 2 processors within a single chip. Each processor or 'core' can be used to perform a different task. E.g. one may be running Microsoft Office applications whilst the other could be running an application that plays your music files. This is slightly different to having a computer that has 2 discrete CPUs and there are logistical...

Review of Dell Latitude D820

NOT RECOMMENDED

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: can freeze

...This dell laptop in my opinion is not very good. It has 256 random access memory and this is very poor. Also the processor which is 1.3GHz is below average causing this laptop to freeze when opening multiple objects and causing it to sometimes be very slow. I tried to run a game on this laptop (Football Manager 2008) and this laptop simply was not good enough to allow me to play it. It said the laptops graphics card needs to be updated, this laptop is not recommended for entertainment purposes. The sound of this laptop is good and the quality of sound it produces is good. This laptop is very limited as I tried to connect this laptop to my television but as it didn't have the correct screen resolution it wouldn't work. I would only recommend this laptop if you don't want to use it for gaming purposes and if you just want to...

Dell Latitude D830

Advantages: Security, Speed, Easy to travel with.
Disadvantages: Once some settings are change theres no going back.

...I own this Dell Latitude D830 it is a very fast, very reliable piece of equipment. It has dual core so its pretty good for gaming also with a very good video card. I wouldn't recommend it for the highest newest games but its very good to get you playing some of the recent games. It runs all sorts of O.S. so thats a plus. Compatible with most software. It can hold up to 4 gigs of ram. Easy lite weight, goof for the average business man and or student. The look is sorta unique in its own way. Also mines has the finger print scanner, good for protection password and easy access to password protected items. Comes with some good dell utilities too. Such as blue tooth, secure storage, embassy security, and also my favorite a TRACKER. So if it is ever lost or stolen you can call tell and they can track it down. So all in all its a very good...

Review of Dell Latitude D830

Dell Latitude D630

Advantages: Light, fast, and Simple
Disadvantages: short battery life

...i have three DELL latops now this one is used for work, its qiute good for what it's for, It has bluetooth, WIFI, and built in broadband modem On Wifi the connection is very fast but on broadband modem is painfuly slow, this could be because it is on T- Mobile, the sceen is small but it does the job. the intel Dou core 2 is very fast. Spares are expensive but that is how DELL makes most of it profits, Value for money i would say is quite good, a Sony or Tosh at the same spec is £100's more, battery life is a bit short on a standard battery, and at about a £100 more for the extra life battery its a problem Overall not a bad Laptop for work, wolud not say it would be good as a home laptop....
