Well i am looking for a portable laptop and i have just found this Dell Latitude D620 with:

1.83Ghz Core Duo
1GB Ram
60GB HD
WinXp
Dvd-rom
wifi

For about £300.

I'm not sure how long the battery should last on this, does anyone know? Is it a good deal?
 
I've got one and it's brilliant. If you dont want to play games they are fantastic laptops - they feel well built, take the odd knock, nice magnesium alloy case and a nice widescreen as well. Packed with everything you'd need bar a decent graphics card, battery life is good, and really rather cheap on the used market.

Mine is a T7600 2.33Ghz with 2Gb Ram, DVDRW, Bluetooth and a 120Gb HDD. I can't think what else I'd need in a laptop.
 
Definately a good model to have. Got a spec similar to [TW]Fox at work and very nice to use. There is an option to have Nvidia Quadro graphics card on it so check with your seller what it's got. Price seems good though for second-hand, the model we got was about £1200 new.

How much did you pay for that just out of interest as Im speccing a Vostro, which is of a similar spec?
 
Just to give you an idea of what I think of the D-series, the design has improved since I got my D600 five years ago, but that still works fine even after getting bounced down a flight of stairs (in a bag). :eek: :)

Both the original batteries still work too (no, they're not the firestarting variety), though life is somewhat shorter than it was (to be expected). Still get about an hour out of them (2-3 when new).

In short, I'd get a new D-series laptop without hesitation.

Same, out clients use these after we re-image them. They are good solid machines and I'd have no qualms in recommending one for everything but gaming (although that is probably obvious ;) ). thumbs up from me

Edit: As mentioned above, D420s are also pretty good, but i'd avoid the D430s, worse machines.
