    Local guy is selling a 2 month old Latitude D620 for $700 with a dock.

    Dell Latitude D620 Specs: -Core 2 Duo T7200 @ 1.83Ghz w/ 4MB cache -1GB DDR2 running at 667Mhz -60GB 7,200RPM Sata Hard Drive - CD RW/DVD combo with Dual layer Capability -NVidia NVS 110M with 256MB memory -14.1" Widescreen WXGA+ 1440x900 resolution -Dell Wireless 1390 Wi-Fi card (A&G Compatible -Bluetooth 2.0 EDR+ -6-cell Battery for about 3.5 Hours of runtime -Gigabit Ethernet -1 PCMCIA EXTENSION SLOT -2 USB 2.0 PORTS -INFARED PORT -S-VIDEO OUT -VGA OUT -Power AC Adaptor

    vs my vostro 1400 which I paid $626 for

    Core 2 T5470
    1GB
    120GB 5400
    X3100

    Worth the extra 75 (well 25 since I'd sell the dock for around $50)?

    Spec wise, the D620 is better. So if the system is still in mint condition I would take that. Otherwise if you'd rather have "new" then get the vostro, you'll be sacrificing power but its more risk free.

    If the 620 is like new and you properly do the Dell Warranty transfer, go with that.
