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....

Dell Latitude LS500

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...

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...

Dell Latitude D500

Advantages: Good build quality
Disadvantages: Extremely slow

...the task tray and then feverishly tries to rectify the performance shortcomings. Connecting the laptop to a monitor slows the performance even more for some reason. Battery life? I'm lucky if I get more than two hours out of it. I felt confident purchasing the laptop through mail order, assured by 'in the know' computer product reviewers that Dell would never stamp their name on such a worthless product (even if it was their entry-level model) - just goes to show you can't trust in reputation alone. I can now confidently predict that I will never purchase another Dell computer again - once bitten ......

Review of Dell Latitude D500

my aptitude for latitude

Advantages: light & fast
Disadvantages: price

...I am changing jobs and will be working from home a lot more so I needed to get a new laptop to replace the old one work had provided me with. I am no IT expert so I decided to stick with a similar one to my work one & I have been pleasantly surprised. I ordered it online using the 'help me choose' assistant so I clicked all the relevant boxes i.e. needs to be lightweight, doesn't need very long battery life, lots of memory etc and the helper eliminates models that don't fit these criteria. The end product was the altitude D420 but I was slightly concerned about the price. Using the 'customise' option I removed lots of items I wasn't interested in & added some features I felt were more important e.g. remove support & remove carry case meant I could afford to increase the memory. well, the end result was this - D420 Intel Core Duo U...

Review of Dell Latitude D420

Inspiring Inspiron from Dell

Advantages: Good spec, reasonable price, great processor
Disadvantages: The piano black surface attracts dust and dirt.

...I purchased the Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop back in January for my daughter's birthday. I had a limited budget but wanted to get her something with decent enough spec for playing computer games should she wish to do this, and a large hard drive as she is a big fan of making videos on her digital camera and downloading music - two things which can eat up hard drive space. I did a fair bit of research before purchasing and decided I wanted to get the best spec I possibly could for my money and the Inspiron ticked all the boxes. I paid £399 in January 2009 in Currys for the laptop which was the absolute limit on my budget. The Dell I purchased has a dark blue coloured lid, however the rest of it is a shiny piano black which looks lovely. I would have preferred metal for the mousepad area - it feels sturdier and doesn't seem to attract...

Review of Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop

Dell Latitude D610 is a reliable choice

Advantages: Light-weight for size; screen is not matte finish, so glare is reduced and leaves no fingerprints
Disadvantages: Latitude D610 is an older model; only 2 slots of 1G memory; no microphone

...In my opinion, this computer is suitable for users who need a reliable laptop computer without a lot of specific technical requirements. It performs very well for the basic requirements. For its size, it is portable and light-weight at 5.4 lbs. Its screen is matte finished, thus there are no finger prints on the screen and it reduces the glare. However, as it is an older laptop model, it may not be the best value for money these days. This particular model only has only 2 slots of 1G memory, thus, if the potential buyer is looking for a higher specification model. Additionally, as an older model there is no built in web cam and no microphone. In my opinion, the Dell Latitude D610 is a durable choice that maximises speed and efficiency given the size and weight. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend....

Review of Dell Latitude D610 (L04611)

  The Dell E520 - build your own PC

Advantages: Choose your own specs, reasonable price, good customer service
Disadvantages: Sneaky sales tactics in places

...Let's get one thing straight from the off; I'm not a technical expert and I can't tell you the ins and outs of the technical aspects of this PC in any great detail. But what I can and will tell you all about is my experience using this PC and how well it's been able to satisfy my needs so far. Firstly, let's talk about why I chose this particular PC. Well I have to be honest, I chose the E520 mainly because I already have a perfectly good 17" flat panel Dell monitor from my old PC. What does that matter? The E520 was one of only 2 PCs I could find that allowed me to make my purchase minus a monitor. I was rather annoyed at being forced to fork out for a mouse and keyboard I didn't want or need though! But whilst that was my main reason for opting for the E520; I think I may well have made this purchase with a monitor if I had...

Review of Dell Dimension E520

Dell Latitude D505

Advantages: Looks smart and has firewire
Disadvantages: Screen lift up button is a bit noddy

...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...
