Hey all, I've pretty much decided on the D620. Getting an awesome deal through my university (University of Iowa, incase there are any Hawks out there!). Am just trying to decide on some of the opitions at this point.
NOTE: Am not into gaming whatsoever. Possibly video/photo editting, but that would be about the max. Going to be used for word proccesing, powerpoints, internet surfing/researching, and playing music and/or dvd's. Priority is speed.
The major questions that I haven't been able to find answers to/need opinions on are the following:
1) For $19 more I can upgrade to the 1.83GHz, opposed to the 1.66GHz processor. Would this be a noticable/worthy upgrade?
2) For $23 I can upgrade to the WXGA+. I have read, and am aware, of the differences between the Samsung, AUO, and LG screens. Does upgrading to the WXGA+ ensure one of the three? Or is it still a luck-of-the-draw type of thing?
3) Would upgrading to Quadro be worth it?
4) Most people seem to have upgraded to the 9-cell battery. Is there anyone that can give me an average idea for how long the standard 6-cell lasts?
Sorry for the long-winded post. Your help is much appreciated!
