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

Model c640 is fading away in fact, dell's warranty would cover 3 yrs for long . and PIII is good enough in current market comparing to new cpu.
HOw much budget do u have? what is the purpose?
for light weight style, X1 , no doubt about it.
for long time use as pc, take d810 .
d510, d410 or d610 re all alright if u have enough budget no much of difference when u choose 1 of them. or just choose Insprion if u want to.

alan:
what is your deadline to replace the old systems? do you validate the new systems first?
if you have to bring in the new systems within the next 30-60 days then go with D610, otherwise wait for the D620 which should be available, like someone said, early next year.

Thanks for all your replies so far :)
We don't have to validate them, it's just a case of ordering them up whenever requested. I guess it's all down to when the MD of the company says 'go order them now', if the 620's are out then, then we'll get them. Us as an IT dept. are trying to hold on for the 620's, as the spec will probably be quite good. However Obviously if we have to place the order late december, or throughout January, it will be 610s.. see how it goes.
thanks again!

Here is what I know. Sorry I'm not more help
620 is lighter (.5 pounds)
Smaller footprint. Almost an inch I think
Widescreen format
Dual Core Processor
Finger Print Reader available
EV-DO or other Cellular broadband Mini-PCI card available
3 battery options (4, 6, or 9)
Available in February.
Memory speed 667 Mhz
Up to 2 gig (4gig maybe) , 4 gig for sure on the 820.

To start with the I would like to say that the difference between previous D600/D610 is that D620 is much more robust. The older models felt like platic laptops with very plastic keyboard. D620 is a great improvement in this area!
What else (besides what the previous post said):
Black/grey design.
Light censor which auto-adjusts the lighting on the screen.
Backlighted keyboard (maybe available on launch, maybe later).
WLAN censor to see if there are active wireless networks.
SATA disc (not SATA2)
Battery diagnostics...
That's at least a bit more!
I need to throw out my D600 but never felt that I wanted to buy D610 because that it's thicker and so plastic. I can tell you for sure that I will order a D620 right away when it arrives!

Without these Yonah models coming I would have taken the D410. Now I can just wait, wait and wait..Too bad that we need to wait even longer for the D420 (in case the rumours are right - I don't have any real knowledge about that one). Would be nice to have some real information about these upcoming models to know whether or not they worth waiting.

I was also told that D420 would come 2-3 months later than D620 and D820. I expect the D620/820 to arrive in February so you can do the math yourself. :) But be advised that this is the info I got sometime in November last year, I think it was.
