9 of 9 people found the following review helpful great pc, December 28, 2007 By  Mina - See all my reviews This is a great computer. It's small and light and is perfect for my college classes. The top is a little scratched but since it's a refurbished laptop I wasn't expecting it to be in perfect condition. The only downside was that Microsoft Word and other programs weren't already installed but that's just the laziness in me not wanting to take the time to install it myself. I was able to borrow a disc from my friend and install everything I needed the same day I received the comp. All in all it's a great computer. It works wonderfully and as I'm typing this review I'm importing CDs into iTunes so it's a also a great liesure computer as well as a school computer. I would definitly recommend this laptop to everyone.

I find it marginally acceptable, but I would not spend my own money on such a system. Major misses: 1) It comes with the synaptics touchpad, which defaults to accepting taps as mouse clicks (it should default to the 'suppress taps') 2) Shutdown service takes too long, even for Windows 2000. 3) No option to order with Linux or without Windows, even though Dell previously touted this feature. For everyday use, I still gravitate toward my iBook. The Latitude has inadequate USB connectivity (only 1 port), and wastes precious back panel space on a PS/2 style keyboard/mouse port and a 25-pin parallel port. Once you plug in a mouse, you have NO USB connectors left for a digital camera or other peripherals. This makes the latitude a niche machine for corporate environments with very specific requirements.

It has a PIII 650mhz, 12g HD, 256k ram, with a docking station. The company gave it to me when our location was downsized in 2002. It is now 2008 and I have used it for business ever since and it is a tank. Parts replaced include the keyboard ($20/ part) twice, battery ($30) once, and fan ($20/ part) once. Other than that it runs and runs. Still using Windows 2000 and now I have a Wifi card. I travel throughout the country and it runs great. Sure compared to today's units, it takes longer to boot up and shut down but I can't complain. I am now looking for a used, faster, Dell D610 only because my Outlook file has grown so large (400mb) and my HD is now about 90% full, it takes longer and longer to boot up. Once I delete 8 gigs of my work files off the unit it will be fine. This unit is now going to my son for school.
