Dell Latitude D630 2gb 80gb and XP pro

A good machine at a very fair price. It's fast, does everything I want and is half the weight of its predecessor!

I needed a laptop with a serial port and this was one of the cheapest ways to do it. Arrived in 2 days from ordering, the keyboard and screen were very clean. The touch pad showed signs of use, but still very acceptable. There were some external scratches, but nothing to bother me. At the time of this review I am still loading my programs and using my old Dell laptop to run my serial port equipment. Up to now the D630 has been running perfectly and I don't expect any problems when it's connected to my equipment. If you need a laptop with a good spec. and a serial port, go for this one. Recommended.

Bought this computer for older relative who is just learning how to use the internet and e mail. Excellent quality and price. Arrived in a very clean condition. The smaller sized hard drive is more than adequate their needs and the 2GB RAM ensures if you connect the computer to your home broadband it will easily play video and radio via the BBC's iplayer with no problems. My relative is accessing the internet via a vodafone Pay-As You-Go Vodafone dongle. The computer refreshes web pages quickly and e mail downloads are fine. All in all and excellent computer at a really good price. Paul Courtney Taunton

Over the past 6 months I've bought several of these to run data collection in our research lab. They're good quality robust laptops at an excellent price. Although you can tell they've been used before, they've all been in excellent condition and worked perfectly.

I would definitely recommend the Dell D630. I bought one from Morgan computers in May 2010. I paid £346 for mine so I think they are a bargain at less than £200. I have been using mine and carting it to and from work ever since and it has done everything I have needed to do, the battery is still good as well. I could have bought a new cheaper brand laptop for the same price at the time but the specs for the Dell were much better and the Dell had 4 USB ports. The screen is crystal clear, the sound is good and the Wi Fi works perfectly. It arrived in its original packaging with all discs etc. just like a brand new laptop. All I really needed to do was update the Windows XP (service pack 3 etc). The courier delivery was very quick and only cost a few pounds. All in all an absolute bargain.
