Re: Dell Latitude D820 --- College machine?

I am about to buy a machine for my daughter who is off
to college.

The D820 seems to be a reasonable fit, not wildly heavy,
but with a 15.4 screen and built in optical drive.

Does anyone have opinions about it?

Also a question: Under ports it lists "1394", which I assume
is a firewire (4pin) connector. But usually Dell uses the fuller
IEEE 1394 to describe this. Could the plain "1394" mean anything
else?

Thanks in advance,

Nope, nothing else. That's firewire.

You also might want to look at the Inspiron e1505/6400. My daughters and I
have them and love them.
