Current crop of Latitudes - still a safe buy?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
We are looking for a new notebook for my wife and the two medium Latitude models fit our needs feature-wise.

Are the D530-D830 Latitudes still "the" notebook to buy for a conservative buy?

What we need is a non-gaming Windows development notebook, normal screen DPI. Most importantly, we need a good keyboard (a firm business-class keyboard like Thinkpads and Latitudes used to have), otherwise it comes down to reliability.

I know this forum has (or had) quite a few users who would just upgrade from one generation of medium Latitude to the next. Are you still on board with the current generation?

(Myself, after having recommended a Fujitsu to her last time and seeing it work out, well, not so well, would default to listen to other people's advise now, hence my question.)

For your needs the D530 and D830 should do nicely. However, the E Series will be coming out soon, probably within the next month or so. The DX30's will be available for a few months after the E Series comes out so if you can bear the wait you should do ok. However, my D820 still gets the job done for what I use it for.
