Fantastic workhouse computer for business,
The Dell Latitude line of notebooks are well built business machines. The Latitudes and XPS lines are a tier higher than the entry-level Inspiron Series.
The case is constructed of metal with plastic trim along the LCD monitor. There are 4 USB ports which allow for a variety of peripherals to be attached such as portable hard drives. There is a headphone and microphone jack and an outlet for a monitor. The keyboard is comfortable to the touch. In addition to the mousepad, there is a pointing stick with 2 buttons below the space key, allowing for either to control the cursor. The ‘spill proof’ keyboard is one of the largest assets (I have only spilled a drink on it once, where I just wiped off the keyboard without a problem in function).
The WIFI capabilities is reliable and simple to set up. The hard drive is silent, as is the optical drive. The strike zone hard drive is resistant to light drops.
Performance of the notebook is brilliant with the Dual Core processors. This notebook easily handles virus scanning, working on a MS Office document, internet browser and listening to music without any problem. The integrated graphics allows for basic games like Tiger Woods Golf, Mafia, NHL Hockey, the Godfather, for example.
Battery life is very excellent for the 6 cell (about 4 hours).
One of the greatest attractions that I have for this line of notebooks is the lack of ‘bloatware’ – unnecessary programs that are installed into your computer (trial programs, multiple internet service providers, advertisements, etc).
Overall, with a spill resistant keyboard and drop zone hard drive, this notebook will take the daily knocks of the regular commuter. This is no Panasonic Toughbook but it will survive your daily use.
VERDICT
Highly recommend this notebook.

|Bargain Notebook,
I bought the D620 for my daughter in college when her 2 yr ancient HP notebook died due to an overheating problem (long tale). After verifying that the D620 worked properly by connecting to the internet and installing XP SP 3, I went over one of the RAM chips (for a total of 1.5 GB) and the harddrive from the HP. I then installed Windows 7 and recovered her data files (I didn’t really expect a college student to use the flash drives that I gave her for backups). Finally, I installed software including Office 7. Throughout the process the D620 performed flawlessly. I tested it by running DVDs, Office apps and videos over the internet (after I set up a wireless connection). This is one fine notebook, very quick and with a excellent show. Its only “small comings” are obvious from the specs, i.e., no web cam, no media slots and no DVD burner. But these are clearly minor issues given the price.

|Used Dell Latitude D620 laptop,
I used the same laptop at work for the about the last 3 years, and it is a work horse. I can buy a groundbreaking new commercial laptop for couple hundred bucks more, but I wanted the reliability of the professional business laptop. I have to say this used business machine Laptop works well except for 3 problems: First, the battery only lasts 5 minutes, second, the DVD burner drive work sporadically (DVD door doesn’t eject consistently, and it doesn’t always detect the DVD or CD in it). Handed the laptop to my 11 year ancient daughter few weeks after buy (Christmas gift), so I did not find out about these problems until 2 month after buy. Contacted the seller, but the warrantee had expired after 30 days of buy, so I have to buy a battery and drive on my own. Third thing, the XP pro operating system was loaded on the computer, but the recovery disks were not included; I hope the hard the hard drive doesn’t crash sometime soon.
