A quality laptop. No gimmicks, just useful features.

The first thing that struck me about the D610 is the level of build quality and materials used. With a combination of magnesium and aluminium used throughout the design it not only has a quality feel about it, but it's durable and lightweight. In terms of feature, the design is very flexible, having almost every feature you could wish for and the added flexibility of the Dell 'D-bay' media bay allowing a host of accessories to be fitted to the laptop ranging from DVD-RW drives, additional hard drives or even secondary batteries - there's a solution for most needs. The base spec of a standard D610 is more than enough to tackle day to day tasks with ease. It's a laptop that will satisfy all but the most power hungry gamers. With it being one of the most popular choices as a businesse laptop there are lots of reasonably priced accessories available in the market place, both used and brand new. And should it go wrong (this can happen to any laptop, especially with human intervention: dropping; coffe spills etc) the parts are cheap, freely available and can be replaced by anybody with a screwdriver and a copy of the service manual (which is full of pictures and a free downloaded from the Dell webiste). I recently replaced the motherboard on a 'dropped' machine in less than 20 minutes, and I'm no computer expert. Being Dell there is always good support from the Dell website, and should you need it the Dell help desk is just a phone call away. It's difficult to fault this laptop as it does the job it was designed to do very well. I have just one niggling annoyance which is that there is no internal microphone but, I can forgive it this since it does everything else so well.

Dell Latitude D610 PC Notebook 2 year old model

I already use a work's Dell Notebook (Latitude D410) and my wife owns a Dell Inspiron, so I know that Dell's products are good quality and reliable. My 13 year daughter was in need of her own laptop so I purchased the secondhand D610 for Christmas. The laptop is a good size not too heavy and the screen size is reasonable (bigger than the D410). With and inbuilt Centrino wireless adapter internet access is simple to set up. It also has an inbuilt CD/DVD drive (which my D410 does not)
Overall a sound product, and the price I secured it at £165 reasonable (I think) given that I believe the new cost for the Dell D610 was priced at over £1,000.
One piece of advice I would give anyone buying on e-bay is to find out if it still has any warrenty or after sales service/breakdown agreement. To take advantage of this, you then need to know who the true registered owner of the laptop is before buying it in order to transfer the warranty.
I rang Dell for some setup advice before given the laptop to my daughter, and discovered that there was still a year's warrenty still valid. "Great!" I thought. However, they would not assist me with any faults it may have because I was not the registered owner! They would however be willing to transfer the ownership details (& warranty) to me if I could supply the previous registered owners name. Unfortunately the seller of the laptop could not supply me this, and consequently I cannot take advantage of the warranty. I was not too disappointed as the seller never said there was any cover when it was listed. I was then however a little concerned about where the laptop had come from! Was it legitimate? I understood from the Dell telephone technical helpline that the laptop had been owned by a company.
However, my daughter is happy with her present (but spends too much time on line,on MSN, and Bebo!)and no longer uses my wifes laptop. Finally. I would recommend a Dell over some on the less known makes as I believe they have a good reputation for quality good value priced products. This means that any second hand Dell laptops if looked after well, are still likely to function reliably.

Highly recommended laptopReview created: 10/11/09

I bought this Dell D610 because all the new oned seem to be in wide screen format which makes normal web browsing more difficult. It also has an S Video output which is ideal for viewing on your TV. I purchased an inexpensive cable and a wireless keyboard/mouse and now have effortless armchair web browsing on my TV. The D610 is very fast with 1gb memory. Now all the latest ones have dual core this and that and several gb memory but all I can say is that this one is just as fast or faster than a friend's brand new acer with all the bells and whistles. The Latitude was a high end business product and it shows. It came loaded with Windows XP professional. I am very pleased with it in every way not least it was an absolute bargain on Ebay.

Dell D610. Take a closer lookReview created: 12/08/09

I bought this laptop from one of the more popular laptop dealers on ebay after reading much reviews about it and have promptly resold it out of disapointment.I have used the HP Compaq laptops with 12 and 14 inch screens and i can easily say the d610 is overhyped and a very old model. I was greatly disapointed at the design and build quality which looked very old fashioned and a bit plasticky compared to the HP models.
if you looking for a decent laptop to buy that can easily compare with the new designs and models with more features than the d610 i would say dont hesitate to go for the compaq systems

DELL LATITUDE 600 LAPTOPI decided to buy this laptop because it seemed to suit my requirements - Dell Latitude 600, one i was familiar with and I wanted to give it to my friend. It had loaded on it the software that was loaded on mine when I bought it so it seemd perfect and woudl have been but after I had paid for it I got a message saying that the wifi didn't seem to be working though it would work with an ethernet wire. I was offered a refund but my problem was that I had used my ebay voucher towards the cost and I would then lose that. I found out more from the seller about wifi but also from a couple of people I know one of whom gave me the ethernet wire. The laptop had then been despatched. It arrived very quickly (came this morning) and it is exactly like mine (and I am very pleased about this) except for the wifi problem as far as I can understand though I may take this to a technician to find out if he can detect the problem and whether it can be remedied. It is a shame and a nuisance because it is intended for my friend.

Dell D610 Business ComputerThis is a great business laptop running on Windows XP which is very stable. The one I've bought is XP Pro which is the same as my works one. It doesn't have a webcam or built in microphone and early ones didn't have bluetooth facility so if you need this make sure you confirm it with the seller. Skype users will require a headset. But for me as a well built business computer for surfing the net wirelessly and using standard Microsoft applications such as Outlook or Office, it's great. One thing to watch out for is that the fan runs continously. Not a problem if like mine it is quiet but I had one from work a few years ago and it was noisy so if you like absolute peace and quiet it might not be the one for you. Also check if the one you're buying has drive that has CD read/write as well as DVD ROM facility. I almost got caught out when about to bid on a laptop then realised the drive was DVD ROM only and so importing CDs into iTunes would have been a problem. Battery life is around 2.5-3hrs

Faulty purchase.I have 4 Dells c610s now and they are perfect for customers, for using on the internet.
They are a medium size screen and are also perfect for watching dvds.
I repair and build machines, so perfect for the other 4, same models to fix.
