Rating: - Great machines
As others have already said, these Lattitudes are far superior to the Inspirion line. These are Business Class machines made to perform for a long while with solid construction and reliable hardware.
I prefer my C610 to my Sony Vaio, at least for an all around travelling machine. Even though the Vaio is much newer my old Dell is much better on battery usage and somehow the processor does not seem to be much slower than my Centrino!
I am a network administrator and use this machine extensively while travelling through 8 states for my company locations and the dell is the ... Read More
Rating: - Simply one of the best laptops ever made
I have owned my C610 for two years. I bought it used. I own a web hosting business. Needless to say, I am ALWAYS online (in the car, in road side rest areas, airports, home, office, etc) and I am contantly using the C610 to program and test. I highly recommend this laptop to anyone who is involved in mission critical computing situations. Also the LED screen has sharp, vivid color. Easy on the eyes.
Rating: - Latitude c600/c610 series are rock-solid
Ok, the price may seem a bit on the high side here. But let me give the insight of a person who has had the Latitude c600 series, Inspiron 5150, Latitude D810, and Inspiron 9300-- the c600 is a tough computer, reliable, and (memory allowing) powerful. For this price, you could do much worse.
You can go to Dell.com and get a new Inspiron for much less than a new Latitude. However Inspiron does not use as rugged and tested parts as what goes into the Latitude series. My Inspiron 5150 was a piece of junk, however my Inspiron 9300 is wonderful. These inconsistencies are based on the ... Read More
Rating: - here is why you buy this instead of a new inspiron
I've owned "new" inspirons that I paid twice as much as for this latitude..Hands down the Latitude is simply a better machine even if it it reconditioned. The latitude is more consistent, sturdier and holds power longer. I was so disappointed by my inspiron that I don't think I would ever buy another one. As far as I am concerned, Dell is lucky that I would buy any product. But the latitude is as good a product as the inspiron is bad. Go figure.
Rating: - Good machine - highly rated by Industry review sites
I purchased one like this at another site at the same time my daughter purchased a new Inspirion 600M in Fall 2005. She paid about $1800 [including about $300 for maximum warranty]. 80 gig hdd, Combo DVD Rom/CD +/- R/W, 512 megs memory, 56k modem, 10/100, 32 meg ATI AGP video card, legacy ports, XP Pro, wireless, extra battery, plus some other minor adds. CPU is Celeron at 1.6 mhz or so. No carrying case, no floppy. Price did not include any 'extra' software other than that installed on base model.
Mine: PIII at 1.2 Ghz, 'M' cpu that offers step down to 800 mhz when on batteries, ... Read More
