    Anyone waiting to purchase a Dell D620 or D820 when they are released this week? Which one and why?

    Does anyone know what time of the day Dell usually updates their website with new models?

    I would jump on the D620 from seeing the pics and specs... I currently have a i630m and it's a nice size but heavier and thicker than I'd like. 5.5lbs vs. 4.4lbs for the D620 and 1.5" vs. 1.26" thickness for the D620. D620 will have nice security features, a 1440x900 screen option with 220nits brightness... AND a dedicated graphics card option.

    Only thing holding me back is that Merom will come out soon and I'd prefer going to the 64bit processors and of course you have to wait a bit anyway for prices to come down and coupons to work. :)

    I'm thinking about getting the D620, but I'm going to wait till summer when the prices go down a bit. I love the looks of it.

    I don't know if any pictures have been released to the public yet, but if you look on Dell's website that have some pictures that pop up on their business site. I don't know if you'll notice them or not - I think all of the latitudes are going to look like the D810.
