New D620 Launch?
Hey folks,
I just wanted to ask if anyone had any information on the possibility of a update to the current D610 in the near future? The reason is we are looking to replace our current C640 laptops which are coming round to 3 years now with new ones and I wondering if its worth hanging back for a possible D620, or just buy a bunch of 610's? Does anyone have any information on when the D620 will become available, possible spec?
Any info would be of great help, I currently trying to contact our Dell Account Manager, but just thought i'd post here also...
thanks!
Alan

It's too early to tell, Vista is still 6 months away to OEM, I would say it is but if it isn't the only disadvantage would be the glass effect in the OS. No big deal as I turn this feature off and the system runs much quicker

Nvidia or Intel UMA, this is a really good question that I have been trying to get an answer for.
My initial thought was that of course the Nvidia card will support Vista WDDM and I ordered a laptop with the "Nvidia discrete card" without even blinking. Yesterday I got a swan in my throat since i realized the Nvidia card is not on the Vista-compatible-list. I have been trying to get any information if the 100M card will be supported or not. My guess (or should I asy hope) is that the Nvidia list is just outdated as this is a new card..
There seems to be no way to contact Nvidia to get information about this.
