"Too much junk for a business computer" -which channel did you order from? latitudes ship (at least for me (SMB Channel), extremely bare. Not even with Anti-Virus or Reader. Doesn't matter though, I also wipe and load my custom image. i think most people do the same... Avoids the headaches of having an OEM license of Windows on machines. (Always = trouble down the road). "The bottom is loose" Same thing happened with one of mine. The screw hole that actually holds the bottom cover in was stripped. They replaced it ASAP, with a system that was 10x more powerful - can't complain. D830's seem like dinosaurs compared to the new ones, imo :)

Only setup 1 so far. Too much junk for a business computer, should have saved time by wiping and doing a fresh install. I expected a build of the shell around the base. The bottom is loose, and rattles when moving the laptop. I guess I just had higher expectations for the amount of money spent. I prefer the laptops that have a slight tilt, front slightly lower than back (I think some HPs do this when you get the extra capacity battery). I was very surprised, considering all the reviews I read about the e5500 and e6500. I wish they still sold the d830. We have 4 of those, and I had to work on one, very nice. The laptop is very fast though. Gene Giannamore Abide International Inc.

(The ones we have sold in the last couple months have been installed by my lakey.) Is it me, or are these being made in the same factory as the Lenovo's? It looks to me like they could use the same docking station, batteries and other accessories. Is this by design and I totally missed that memo or what? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
