While the HP had the nicest graphics card of them all (ATI Radeon x1600) and would have allowed me to play the latest games, I ruled it out because of price (>$2,000). I narrowed my selection down to three offerings: IBM/Lenovo ( ThinkPad T60), HP (nc8xxx), and Dell ( Latitude D620/ Latitude D820).

Additionally, I wanted some sort of dedicated graphics solution to be Windows Vista-ready, run engineering and CAD applications in college, and do a little light gaming. I was interested in only the 14″ or 15″ screens in either widescreen or regular aspect ratios. I was also attracted to the clean lines and underplayed looks of the business machines (I was put off by the white bumpers and garish silver that clad Dell’s Inspiron line). Since this laptop was going to have to last me through at least four years of college, it needed to be able to take a beating.

Soon after I began my research for a notebook computer, I came to the conclusion that I wanted a business-oriented machine.

According to CNET Labs, “While the 3.2kg Latitude D810 was more of a desktop replacement, the 2.8kg approaches the more portable thin-and-light territory.” This newfound svelteness, coupled with the D820’s impressive computing power, makes it a formidable contender in the mid-size business notebook category. The D820 is an updated version of the D810 and features the Intel Core Duo processor to replace the D810’s Pentium M as well a significant weight reduction from the D810. Price-wise and size-wise, the Latitude D820 sits atop the thin-and-light 14″ widescreen D620 and the budget oriented 14″ standard-aspect D520 in the Latitude lineup. This is evidenced by the Latitudes’ superior build quality, sober styling, lack of media-centric features, and higher price.

While Dell’s Inspiron line is squarely aimed at the consumer market, the Latitude line is geared more towards the academic, small business, and corporate user. As a high school graduation gift, my parents bought me a Dell Latitude D820 15.4″ widescreen notebook.
