So why didn't you go for the D620 then?

Where are you at with your purchase decision?

Journey

Close

I've decided to go with Dell.... forget IBM

Just don't have the money for IBM plus they are hard to
buy as far as I'm concerned...less channels to buy it
thru

I'm still a bit unsure if I want 14" or 12" tho

You see.... I do 3D CAD work for a living. And altho I
don't do it at home right now..... that might change in
future.

So I'm thinking I might not get away with laptop as
only computer and may in fact want BOTH a laptop and
desktop in future. Especially if I take any more CAD
courses and want to practice at home.

If I knew for sure Id never want to do ANY cad outside
of work..... even practice cad at home...... then Id go
with 14" laptop

However..... if it seems likely that I will have a
desktop as well as laptop....then a 12" attracts me
more since its smaller. and Id have the desktop at
home for using optical drives.

Sorry if I driven everyone nuts. But a true
workstation class desktop for 3D works costs abt $2.5k

So.... I don't want to put so much money into a laptop
that there is nothing left in the "well" for a desktop
as well. I am on budget. <g>
