i'm looking into getting a latitude notebook (D4x0, D6x0, or D8x0..most like the latter two). i can get a D610 or D810 at a pretty cheap price in the outlet but i probably won't get it if i won't be able to upgrade the CPU to a C2D down the line (i want to keep the laptop for 4 years).

does anyone have the D620? i've heard a lot of D620's have horrible screens...is it true with your's?

thanks in advance for all help

No, you can't upgrade from P-M to Core Duo or Core 2 Duo. Different sockets and require different chipsets.

I got my sister a D620 with the WXGA+ screen, it's definitely grainy caused by whatever coating the LCD manufacturers are using, but I found it perfectly usable.

thanks for the comment lazybum131. i don't understand what people mean by grainy...like all the adjacent pixels might not display the same color? and though the screen was usable, does it seem noticably worse than any other screens you've looked at? i really appreciate the help

I've got three 620s in my office waiting to get imaged for our sales guys. The screens aren't bad by any stretch - they're more like a really good LCD looked four years ago. They do have a grainy look compared to the shiny TrueBright type screens on most modern consumer laptops, and they're not as bright. But they don't glare like the shiny ones do either, and they're bright enough. They're fine. All told I think the d620 is the best laptop Dell has ever made.
