Latitude D620 with Quadro Review - Page 8

I am debating between teh D820 and D620, I do not really travel, but I wanted something lighter, Please look at my Inspiron 9300 Specs and let me know if the 256 Quadro in the D620 is better than my 9300 or do I have to go D820 512 MB QUadro to see a difference.

U'm if someone could tell me this it would be nice....
I have a D620 with the specs below. I can't upgrade the warrenty because it was a system exchange and the 4 years are up. I would like to get a M1210 with complete care, and around the same specs, any advice?

D620
2.0 Core Duo
1.0 2x512
DVD +/- RW
XP Pro

... think i could sell it on ebay and make 1200 or so?
Then would you buy a m1210 on ebay?
Or how would you go upon buying a m1210, i only want to spend 300-600 more than what i sell the d620 for.... ( and i need that graphics card + 3 yr complete care!)
Any advice?

Thanks Titanium.

There is a way to upload but god knows how you do it - maybe you need to be a long established member or something. Thanks for the total passmark score, which I have to say, far exceeds what I was expecting. Even a current D610 with ATI x300 only gets 287 on the rating. I think I can safely say that I will be upgrading the laptops then!

Thanks again.

LOvely review. Since deciding to buy a laptop of my own, I've spent hours on this forum (Oy, glad to be here) and most of the time.. ehee.. in this very thread. So now, finally.. I've gotten the facts straight. Samsung screen on d620 = good WOuld those who already have a d620 be kind enough and enlighten the rest of us about the gaming performance on d620? Which games have you tried and how was the performance (gta san andreas anyone)? Thanks for the great review.

Auo Screen

Hi,
I just got my dell d620 and I got a AUO screen, just wondering what is the procedure to get another screen replaced. I can do it myself from what I understand the whole installing part. I'm calling them right now, what am I suppose to say, my screen is grainy I want another one?

just got of the phone with dell

I just got off the phone, boy :@:@. So finally I managed to get him to ship out a LCD to me, great!! and he said he would make sure it was samsung!! greatx2!!!. Only problem is I asked him for instructions on how to do it. He said he didnt know and couldnt tell me. Fine!, then I asked him if he could mail out instructions? he said he will but he wont guarantee it?? ok wtf?. Then I said I will figure it out myself, or will request a tech to do it. I reallyne dont want to request a tech,

If anyone can go through the steps with me throughly that would be great!!.

Hi RoRO,
Thanks I left you some rep. Also since we are on this whole notebook screen topic.

1) How hard is it to change it? I never done it before is it easy for something to go wrong? or is it confusing?
2) Will I void any warranty by doing this?
3) what tools should I have?
4) how long does it usually take.

Can't wait for my sammy screen to come, AUO brand is just garbage, I now know why people say its grainy.

1) just follow the directions carefully and meticulously
2) i don't think so, but they are also not responsible if you break something during the install
3) you just need a really small philips head screwdriver
4) hm.. i think it took me 30 mins taking my time

Kool, I will take my time as long as possible. Thanks, Hopefully my Samsung screen look a lot better than the AUO, which is what I've been hearing, cheers roro for all the help

My D620 just started shipping and it will be here next week.

I dont know what screen I will get getting.

hopefully not the AUO i got

Same here. Samsung.. please.

How do I check what screen I got? Thanks.

Hi,
this is just what I did, I'm sure there are other ways to do this, I downloaded a program called everest home edition and it showed me what display I had

Receieved my D620 about 2 weeks ago. Just started to read this post about the screen quality. Really looking at it is not that bad, but people have been saying it looks kind of gray at some spots. That you should get the Samsung display since its the best of the all of them, even though it still might not look great.

Is all this right?!? Just checked my specs on Dell's support site (support.dell.com) after entering my service tag number and this is what it said:

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 14.1WXGA+, VIDEO ELEC. STDS. ASSOC., SAMSUNG

Does this mean I got the Samsung screen? I'm assuming so since it says Sumsung. This is the best of the screens to get?

I'm sorry for asking, but since this thread is so long, is it only referring to the display of the D620? Was there other problems that was mentioned that I should know about? Other than the screen not being as sharp and bright, think it's pretty good laptop, love the widescreen.

Got mine at a good deal too, through my companies corporate account I got about $650 bucks off my laptop. Mine is almost the fully loaded model. 2.0GHZ Dual Core, 2GB RAM, 80GB 7200RPM HD, 14.1WGXA+, Bluetooth module, 3845 Wireless Module, 6 Cell, Floppy Drive, DVD+-RW Drive, 1907FP Monitor, Port Replicator, Monitor Stand, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, 4yr warranty with complete care.

XScorpion, how much did you get for your D620?

I'm also wondering if this is accurate, using the method by xscorpion. Although I sent my D620 in to repair (right out of the box!) so I never even had a chance to see my LCD in action.

Those directions / pictures on opening the notebook are also quite helpful. It's a good thing I didn't attempt to do it (the tech I talked to wanted me to try and open it up [I think I got connected to India, but that may have been because I wasn't in the system yet]) -- as I was totally doing the wrong thing.
