I wasn't expecting to be able to buy the laptop until mid summer, but now I have this oportunity to buy it now.
Here goes my wish list.
Just want the following conditions
1-. pentium M
2-. DELL
3-. Latitude family from Dell.
4-. decent video card.
5-. do not need a dvd burner, already have one on the desktop.
6-. 3 year warranty (the price will include Complete Care Service and also have International OnSite service.
Latitude D810
*Intel® Pentium® M Processor 740 (1.73GHz) w/ATI RADEON X600 128MB D817X6
*Windows XP
*Screen 15.4" UltraSharp Wide Screen WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050 )
*Memory 1GB 533MHz DDRII SDRAM, 2 DIMMS - Dual Channel
*Hard Drives: 60GB 5400RPM *CDRW: 24X CDRW/DVD Combo
*Wireless: Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915 802.11 a/b/g
*Battery: 9-CELL PRIMARY BATTERY
*3 Year On-site Business Mobility Plan
QUESTIONS
-7,2000 rpm hard drives are still too expensive.
-Wireless question, should I go with only b/g wireless card? The price change to a a a/b/g is around $20
-I recently made a question about batteries
link . The answers were straight forward. But regarding spare batteries? Should I buy a spare now? My life doesn't depend on the laptop to fall in the need to have 2 batteries. But if for any strange reason the Latitude 810 is out of production, maybe finding a spare battery in 2 years will be impossible. But what I don't know is if a battery begins losing charge capacity if its not in use for a long period of time (months stored in the box)
-Should I go with a third party for a case or are Dell cases nice and easy?
Appreciate any help
