1. Great article. Dell is just too ugly for my taste, and being American is not a compliment nowdays ;)

2. Wow, what a timely review. The Latitute D630, emphasis on the 3 there, has been out about 5-6 months, and they are just now reviewing the D620??????

3. Why are you reviewing this ?

It was obsoleted by the D630 about 6 months ago !

4. I've had this laptop for over a year now...

5. Dell inspiron 1520 are more Tempting and more cheaper

6. By the way this Notebook can also use CDMA carrier and there is two slot's for the memory slot A (under the keyboard) and slot B (under the computer as shown in this article) one is located under the keyboard. It not like the Article say that the other is on the motherboard. you should do your research before saying this like that and the computer support up to 4 GB of RAM 2 GB on each slot one in the bottom and the another one on top

7. A 1.6 Ghz laptop, and D620, Come on, I have a 2.0 Ghz D620 that is almost a year old. Why bench a bottom of the line D620. How about a couple of benches from a 2.0 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz D620, and even the D630? USB locations on mine are OK.

8. Did you forget to post this review LAST YEAR? The D620 was replaced by the D630 in May 2007, so even a review of the D630 would be late.

I not sure why nowadays Xbitlabs make late reviews for videocard and notebook...No wonder this notebook spec are out of date...Xbitlabs you must be more quicker to make any reviews. Hope you can improve it but for this reviews are quite good but late.

9. Don't you think this review is a bit too late? This is a 15-18 months old products. Dell has replaced it with D630

10. Dell Latitude D620 is no longer available.

Dell replaces it with D630 I think.

11. Can we stop with the D620 was replaced by the D630 comments? I think it's quite well known by now. I'd like to thank the author for the review.

I do believe one important factor in this review was left out, that being the review of the internals of the laptop. That's pretty much a standard with any hardware review. After working extensively on Latitude laptops at my work and comparing them to other OEMs and models I'd say that the Latitudes are always very easy to work inside and components are always well placed.

I've replaced many motherboards in laptops over the years but Latitude motherboards are just so much easier to get in and out. So thanks for looking at this business level laptop instead of those ultimate gamer laptops that nobody will ever really buy nor own.

No I can't stop.

This is a review of a 15 month old product that should have been on this site 15 months ago.
The review uses 15 month old benchmarks and another 15 month old notebook for comparison.
In fact I'm sure this review was written 15 months ago and was just forgotten.

What's next an overclocking guide for the Pentium II?

In this article you wrote:
>>>>>The overall score is calculated by the formula: PCMark Score = 87 x (the geometric mean of the basic tests), where the geometric mean is calculated as (Result 1 x Result 2 x…) divided by the number of results.

You couldn't be more wrong. The geometric mean is the N-th root of the product of the N numbers. If you don't understand basic mathematics principles, at least have someone proof read your articles, will you?

13. phileasfogg, do a search on Google for "PCMark score formula" and the first result is a forum with the following...

PCMark05 score =
87 x (Test 1 x Test 2 x Test 3 etc) ^(1/16) (16 tests)

Maybe Mr Britvin copied and pasted from there or even from Futuremark themselves? Who cares? I can't stand PCMark anyway. Don't be such a sour puss and have a Merry Christmas!

14. Dell Latitude line of laptops is oriented to businesses. It explains a lot regarding the design and "standard" accessories. If you take a look at Dell web-shop you will find plenty of really good options that YOU can choose from.
I have got faster CPU, more RAM, larger 9-cell standard battery, extra 6-cell bay-battery (x2.5 runtime in total), car/air charger kit, etc... Plus port replicator and monitor stand for the office workplace. Could you do it with Sony?
