This laptop is one that was provided for me at work.  It does the job well and although it isn't the fastest or lightest around, it works well and is easy work on.  I have the Centrino powered machine, which I know the Core Duo version is much faster, but I don't have any complaints about speed and power.

The battery life is execellent as I often get 4 hours of usage from one charge!

Screen is nice size, and the resolution can be "cranked up" to 1680x1050! 

There are plenty of ports on this laptop including a IEEE 1394 (firewire) and four USB connections, but only a PCMCIA slot (single height).

Mine included a DVD writer, which I'm not sure if it is standard with this model, but I know most new laptops include one anyway.

If you need a decent performing laptop for a fair price, I think you can't go wrong with Dell's Latitude lineup, and particularly, the D830 is a good deal.
