    Opinions on Dell Latitude D500

    I have a d500. It'll definitely be fast enough for your needs. Personally, I think a couple of things I do are slow because of the hard drive. But practically all laptop hdd are slow unless if you invest like 200 more $$ into a 7200rpm one. THe main thing i dislike about my d500 is the palm...

    Resuming from standby on my 700M the monitor doesn't turn back on?

    Once in awhile my screen would not turn back on my latitude d500. I get it to turn back on by pressing that little button that senses when the lid is closed.

    Any laptops with the 1.2Ghz ULV Centrino out yet?

    Don't own one but played around with one in a store. Screen seems fine, you can just move your face closer. But the keyboard.. wow are they small.

    help me pick out an inexpensive laptop

    The only thing I can think of that's cheap and small is the averatec 3250 series. Two of my friends have it, it can last 3hours if you turn everything down. At 800$ of so if you get it on sale, you can afford to get 1-2 spare batteries.. Otherwise, I can suggest the ibook again? Dell's 600m and...

    Looking for my first laptop...

    Looks like you have a fairly decent desktop for gaming. As a college student myself, you probably don't need/want to be gaming in lab, class, or in the library. IE no real need for a portable gaming machine. Maybe it depends on your school and major, but you might be needing to carry around...

    llLaptop for College

    I meant to get a laptop AND a desktop. A 1k desktop would easily be more powerful gaming wise than any 3.5k laptop. What do you do with the other 2.5k? Get a laptop for what a laptop is for, portability. If you're like most other engineers, you'll be going in and out of lab doing work, and you...

    llLaptop for College

    Get a 1k desktop and a 1.5k laptop. Save the rest. You probably do NOT want to carry a 10lb laptop around with you all day. And you know that no laptop is going to be as good as a desktop in terms of speed and upgradability. Upgrade your desktop geforce6 to a geforce9 in two years and you'll get...

    Is there a full size laptop that is light?

    600m is 14.1". I tend to only feel the heat if the ambient room temperature is hot. If the room is cold (winter or AC), it feels fine to me. I think the main complaint about the 600m is the quality though. Many people think it's too "plasticy".
