Looking to replace my Tablet PC with a Notebook/Laptop. I am finding now that my work has shifted to 95% Home Inspection the tablet with the write on screen is less useful.
Since I am not a demanding user I have been looking at used computer and have about decided the Dell's off lease or returns are the way to go. Not having kept up with all the models they have I was hoping someone have used one and give some direction.
I have looked at the outlet and their off lease sites. Due to the MUCH cheaper prices I am leaning toward one of the two year old off lease models. Specifically the Lattitude D410, 420, and 430 and the D610, 620 and 630. Dell has a fairly large selection and prices range from $310 for a well equipped but with a 12.1" screen up to $630 for a very well equipped (more than I want) computer with all the bells and whistles.
I know what I want in processor speed and LOTS of RAM. DVD player for trips. Wireless obviously. Typically it will be used for work. Word processing and internet. Occasionally used to watch the DVD while traveling. So as I said, I am not a demanding user.
Problem is just so many to choice from is picking which one. Anyone familiar with the models? Might help me narrow down the choices?
