"Quietly impressive"
Pros: Sturdy, Reliable, Great Keyboard, Nice Matte Screen
Cons: 3D Graphics limited, sound is typically poor
Summary: I've been issued the usual range of corporate laptops including Thinkpads, Dells etc. and I've been quietly pleased with this unit. It doesn't impress you with it's apparent power or speed but simply and competently multi-tasks with no problems.
I suppose what I was trying to say is that I was initially underwhelmed by the machine since it didn't overwhelm me with goodness but one day when I noticed that I had a ridiculous number of programs running simultaneously, including a video edit of a product demo, well I noticed that I had nothing to notice...that is, the D630 simply plugged along and did it's thing. Quietly impressive.
And as an addendum - my sons recently got new MacBooks - which do tend to leap out and proclaim just how elegant and smooth they are - and I've enjoyed piddling around with them, but when I go back to my boring little Dell, I don't miss the MacBook. I guess that's a good endorsement.

I am an Authorized Dell VAR (Value Added Reseller) that provides the same level of service as Dell. All warranty, service, tech. support is provided by Dell's business division, which is much better than Dell's home division, and you are less likely to reach a tech. in India! I mostly sell Dell parts on eBay, but if you are interested in a laptop, look me up on eBay (user ID: jnolan75) or send me an email. You may reach me at jnolan75@yahoo.com. I will also have a website up within the next few months, and will leave the address when the site is active. I would be happy to provide a quote, and save you some cash! I can purchase any Dell product, and do the haggling for you, saving you time & money, and you will never have a problem when contacting Dell. You simply contact them as you would if you purchased directly from them, it is that easy! Your system also ships much faster, generally within 5 business days or less!
I provide all types of Dell products, so it doesn't have to be a laptop, or even a Dell branded item! If you need a desktop, business system, new monitor, printer, parts, accessories, software, server, etc., you can configure your system, or add your item, on Dell's website, add to the cart, save the cart, and email your cart to me at the address above. Please include your name and email address in the NOTE box. It usually takes 24 hrs or less to get a price depending on day, so what do you have to lose? -
I'm wondering if you can elaborate on that. What was it that gave this impression, and which graphics option did you choose, the integrated GMA X3100 or the 256MB NVIDIA?
Thanks
