   Good laptop, June 7, 2009

   This review is from: Dell Latitude D610 Notebook PC (Off-Lease) – Intel Pentium M 1.86GHz, genuine Windows XP Home, 512MB DDR2, 40GB HDD, DVD/CDRW Combo (Personal Computers)

   I bought it to replace an
   off-brand model I had that blew up.
   I have been very happy with the purchase
   though I do recommend getting it with
   windows vista because xp is going to become
   obsolete. (that’s why the xp version is
   so much more affordable..)
   The shipping was very fast and the product
   was used, but looked like it was brand new!
   (It came from a company)

   Beware: Invalid License, October 23, 2009

   I bought one of these laptops two months ago. It has been working just fine. Today Microsoft told me that the license is not valid. It has a valid certificate of authenticity on the back but does not have a second “refurbished” CoA. When I look at the internal System Properties/General tab it says “XP Corporate” which means it was covered under a mass/site license which can not be transferred or sold. I will probably have to buy a fresh copy of XP ($100) and re-install.

   Before I made the order I checked to see that the advertisement specified “Genuine Windows XP”. I also checked the CoA when it arrived. When the Microsoft updater offered to run “Genuine Advantage” to check the authenticity I confidently thought “sure, go right ahead.”

   BEWARE!

   Out of the box and ready to go, January 5, 2010

   I wanted to get my feet wet with my first laptop for home use. Not wanting to spend four figures, I decided to take a chance with a refurbished Dell Lattitude D610. I opted for a unit that was upgraded to 1.86 GHZ/1GB/100GB HD, It seemd to be a no-brainer for an extra $25. When the package arrived, I was hesitant to open it. I had pictured some beat up, well used machine. I was in for a big surprise. Aside from a few very superficial scratches on the shell, the machine appeared in great shape. I’ve been told that these lease machines generally are in good shape. The next few hours were spent testing it with no failures. Everything worked as advertised. The mouse and key board were responsive, no broken pixels on the screen. CD/DVD drive in perfect order and the USB ports (all four)worked fine. The Wifi connect immediatly picked up a few LAN’s on my street. I piggy-backed to test that feature, but will pick up a router soon. Battery life was around 3 hours and charge time is minimal. Link-Tronics in Santa Anna did a fine job refurbishing the unit and shipping was very quick (paid extra for priority). All in all a great machine for the money. We’ll see how it goes long term…

   12/20/2010 update: Still works perfect, no probelms.
