Possibly consider the Latitude D610. I got this laptop for myself for college. With the 14.1" XSGA+ screen I run at 1400x1050 and the laptop is fairly light/small. It is no IBM T42/43 in that department, but it isn't horrible. I...

I ordered my D610 on June 25th. Had I ordered one day earlier on June 24th, I probably would have gotten it one week later, but I would have missed out on $100 of savings (they changed from $400 off to $500 off). If July 4th wasn't a...

When I did this the other night I was only able to low around 40fps. I didn't try high because I didn't really have time to, nor did I expect it to get better. This post, however, confirms my suspicions that BF2 is a memory starved game....

If you are referring to the buttons below the touchpad, then I suppose they have a bit of play. If I press the outside edge the middles come up, but I think it is more intentional than anything to allow for flexibility when clicking. If...

Coming from a similar situation I can offer a few of my opinions. I initially went looking for laptops almost strictly in the T42/43 line. This was mainly because I knew their reputation is extremely good, especially for build...

I would guess that you will have it in about a week. My D610 was in my city in 6 days, but as it was a Friday and the 4th of July on Monday it took 9 days. It also didn't help that I ordered over the weekend. I'd say that, providing no...

Personally, I don't think the hissing is that bad. I've experienced something similar on my desktop computer. With speakers or headphones that have inline volume control you can eliminate the hissing completely by adjusting the volume...

I already posted these in my impressions post, but I figure some people might miss them there. Here are some pics of my brand new D610 that I got yesterday, including pictures referencing the thickness to DVD cases and a picture showing...

Sorry I am a few hours late with the pictures, but real life can get in the way sometimes. Here are the pictures I have at the moment, including 2 comparing the thickness to 2 DVD cases and 1 showing the lack of a gap between the bezel...

Congrats and welcome to the D610 club! Despite the non-aweinspiring performance in BF2 that I reported for you, I'm sure that you will be extremely happy with it and that it will be able to run new games for awhile, even if not at the...
