Re: New latitude D-420/620 and 820 and Inspiron discussion
Im confident with Dell's quality now, I was not impressed with the D810 that my classmates are getting.... I have yet to physically hold a D820 and that bothers me because I am really concerned about build quality. This Acer Travelmate I looked at had a carbon fiber chassis and that sounds very structurally sound! I just don't want to end up with another Inspiron 8500 ... yes, it's officially old and worn out, but a month after getting it, the screen's hinges were messed up and there was a lot of play. The keyboard keys stick, the eraserhead has to be disabled or it'll walk the cursor all over at its own will.
Its those issues I hope they addressed, not to mention the heat issue.... :ugh: If you tell me it is light years ahead of the i8500 in terms of build quality, I will commit to the D820 right now! You have the experience with it, moreso than almost anybody else right now I think. Whats your call?
