I have not had one problem with this laptop. It is just the right size and weight for me. Occassionally,...

Dell Latitude D520 Laptop Ratings and Reviews
this loptop(dell latitude D530) is very nice for me. it provide convenience for my work. I can carry it back to home and continue my work in home. it includes the wireless module so even in outside, if have wifi access, I can still connect back to my office.
the battery can support my work at least 2 hours work even under the wireless access be enabled.
it not so heavy to carry, but of course, it is not so lightly for carry. if I will buy a new loptop in the future, I perfer find one which much lighter than this dell loptop. and even the screen is not as big as this one. from my point of view,...

I have one of these computers and it worked fine (for about two days) until it loss it power and then i couldnt even log back into it asked for a password that i wasnt even famliar with. It had a white screen and asked for a admin password. I took it to "the geek squad" they told me i had to pay around $250 for a new upgrade system or something like that. I am not a technical person with computers but i can navigate. I would knew buy a computer off the internet again, lesson learned.
Keyboard is smooth and easy.
Touch Pad is easy to use.
Screen resolution is great !
Performance
Today, I would recommand at least 2Go Ram (I only have 1Go), because of Microsoft Vista.
As for graphics, I do not use this laptop for entertainment, but mainly at my office.
CPU is Centrino Duo : good performance !
Other
Not so heavy.
Normal size.
Hope this helps !
The Dell Latitude D520 laptop is very useful. It works very well and doesn't give me any problems. It's virtually easy to use. The bluetooth works great. It makes it easy to tranfer something to my cell phone or visa versa. The built in wireless is also useful so you can take it where ever you go. You don't have to worry about trying to find a jack to pug into.
