<p>so which should i get?</p>

<p>the dell latitude 610 is $40 less but the inspiron 600m includes a printer...but that price difference isn't really that significant.</p>

<p>i was leaning towards the latitude d610.</p>

<p>so which is better built and has better quality? which looks better (just curious)? which is more mobile?</p>

<p>any comments are welcome, esp if you have personally own either one. </p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>The latitude d610 looks better...
are you going to customize it? or are you just getting the basic version?</p>

<p>i recently got a great deal on an IBM thinkpad, if you're interested. it was the r50e model I think. under $1200 (with tax/shipping) for a gig of ram, fast processor, i thnk 60 gb hard drive, adjustable vid card memory (but takes away from system ram).</p>

<p>i'm customizing it through university discounts. 40 GB, 512 mb, pentium m...</p>

<p>both models come out to around $1300 incl tax/shipping and any other charges.</p>

<p>i'll check again on the ibm, but when i went to the website everything was $1500+ with same specs as i gave the dells. </p>

<p>btw i don't do gaming or huge media movie things or anything like that. just need word, IE, dvd/cd burner, and music.</p>

<p>I would go with dell latitude 610- although there is not that much difference between the two....</p>

<p>P.S- if all you need is word, music, and dvd....do you really need that good of a laptop?</p>

<p>what do you suggest then?</p>

<p>I got a new dell inspiron 600m about a week ago. It took about 2 weeks to get here because it's brand new or some other garbage the guy said on the phone. haha. I like it a lot. For me it cost a little over $800 with a $300 mail-in rebate and I like the power to size ratio. I know nothing about the Latitude D610, however. I do like the way the 600m looks and am pleased with my decision.</p>
