"Its a great computer,"
Pros: very fast, light weight, great screen, long battery life
Cons: nvidia quadro nvs 120 is fast but not fast enough to play 3D games like Oblivion over ~75% quality
Summary: The D820 packs the most amount of performance in a 6.5 lbs laptop that you could possibly squeeze into one with its size. The advantage of this computer is that you get a ***t load of battery life (with a 9 cell battery). You?re more boring aka business tasks like excel and word will yield an unconditional 5 hours of battery life, watching movies will give you around 4 or so...I haven?t tried playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion while on battery, so I couldn't tell you. I know a lot of people have been asking about the D820?s graphics card, it?s comparable to an ati x1400 and an nvidia geforce go 7400. Yes the game is playable and it looks GREAT but the graphics card is brought to its knees at max quality. Yes I know this is a "business" lap top, but if you are like most people, you want to know you can play games, because when the day is over, you spent a few thousand dollars on a laptop computer and you want to know you can get your moneys worth. Besides, windows vista will be released soon, and I hear it is a graphics BEAST. Don't even get me started on how important your graphics card will be with that operating system.
