Laptops Arena

It’s been a while since I’ve looked at a model from Dell’s Latitude range, but that doesn’t come as a major surprise. Unlike the more common Inspiron range, the Latitude range is aimed squarely at the corporate user, and as such the models don’t change too often.

There are few things that an IT manager at a big company values more than continuity – after all, the last thing he wants is for a notebook to be discontinued when he’s halfway through rolling it out to all the employees.

I was therefore quite keen to see Dell’s new range of Latitude notebooks when they were announced last month, and I badgered Dell’s PR department until they agreed to send me an early sample. The model sitting in front of me right now is the Latitude D620, which sits nicely in the middle of the notebook pecking. The D620 is reasonably slim and light, so that you’d be happy to carry it around with you all day, but it’s not so small as to put potential users off due to a small screen and reduced size keyboard.
