   Even running an outdated OS like windows XP in 2009 this laptop under performs. It takes a very long time to start up programs, long load times, long boot times, random freezes, hard drive problems after one year with further degraded performance, it’s a cheap mess. The laptop itself is very heavy and rugged but lugging that weight around to protect cheap unreliable hardware seems foolish to me. The hard drive always requires at least 40% improvement on read times even right after a de-frag. The track-pad stops working randomly and when using this laptop for work that can be a major problem and ordinarily requires a restart. Internet examiner crashes randomly on this machine but facility fine on any other system I have , VM-Ware takes roughly 10-15 mins to load to a useable state on this laptop, the speakers are terrible, the usb ports require drivers to work properly and like most Dell systems I have used including the XPS the dvd-rom drive stops working and stops reading disc’s after you install a few programs, rip music or change disc’s a couple of times requiring yet another restart….the dvd rom icon even goes missing from my computer like you don’t even have a dvd drive to start with?!?! Well I reckon I have covered everything and it’s basically the whole damn computer.

   Over all this laptop is nothing but heavy, cheap, unreliable garbage.

   I used the same laptop at work for the about the last 3 years, and it is a work horse. I can buy a strain new commercial laptop for couple hundred bucks more, but I sought after the reliability of the professional business laptop. I have to say this used business machine Laptop facility well except for 3 problems: First, the array only lasts 5 minutes, second, the DVD burner drive work sporadically (DVD door doesn’t eject consistently, and it doesn’t always detect the DVD or CD in it). Handed the laptop to my 11 year ancient daughter few weeks after buy (Christmas gift), so I did not find out about these problems until 2 month after buy. Contacted the seller, but the warrantee had expired after 30 days of buy, so I have to buy a array and drive on my own. Third thing, the XP pro operating system was loaded on the computer, but the recovery disks were not included; I hope the hard the hard drive doesn’t crash sometime soon.

   I bought the D620 for my daughter in college when her 2 yr ancient HP notebook died due to an overheating problem (long report). After verifying that the D620 worked properly by connecting to the internet and installing XP SP 3, I went over one of the RAM chips (for a total of 1.5 GB) and the harddrive from the HP. I then installed Windows 7 and recovered her data files (I didn’t really expect a college student to use the flash drives that I gave her for backups). Finally, I installed software including Office 7. Throughout the process the D620 performed flawlessly. I tested it by running DVDs, Office apps and videos over the internet (after I set up a wireless connection). This is one fine notebook, very quick and with a excellent show. Its only “small comings” are obvious from the specs, i.e., no web cam, no media slots and no DVD burner. But these are clearly minor issues given the price.
