Recommed a rugged laptop with 128mb+ video

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
What model does Dell have that has an extremely rugged body, at least a 128mb of video, a fast CPU and lots of memory?

Latitude D620 and D820 from what i hear those things can withstand a guy weighing 160 pounds stand on top of it.

Wow!! the D620 looks awesome!!
Is this a current model? Does dell ever have specials for this?
What's the fastest CPU available?
I saw one that came with 2GB ram (667) , a 226MB video card, and it said it had a sound card.
Is the sound card stock? Can you tell me about it?

The D620 unfortunately only has 64MB of dedicated graphics memory. It uses system memory to borrow on up to 256MB. The Quadro 110 in the D820 has 128MB of dedicated memory and the 120m in the D820 gets 256. I really like my D820. Glad I went with it instead of waiting for the 110m to become available again in the D620.

If the D820 with 256mb sounds great!! (nvidia or ATI?)
Is it rugged?

Does anyone have the link to Dells refurbs?

The D820 has an nVidia Quadro 120m With 256MB of Dedicated memory and can share dynamically an additional 256MB of memory with the system (only shares the memory when it needs to). And yes, it is quite rugged, but I wouldn't be throwing it down stairs or putting it in the dishwasher or anything.

Link here to View a list of Outlet's Latitude D820 Intel Core Duo - 1830 512MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M TurboCache... Notebook edit:- Link only gets to the Outlet, you will have to enter Stockrooms Model, Price, Media Bay, Minimum RAM, Processor, Minimum HD Size, Network Card, Screen Size & Video Card and click "Submit". No customizing, buy w/ Video System and Screen Resolution you desire and add other options (like HD, RAM, Bluetooth or WiFi 'on-your-own' at a cost usually less than from Dell). Move fast when you see one you want, the eBay Sellers are always grazing for inventory.
