Dell Latitude D610

The Dell Latitude D610 can be configured with up to a 2.00GHz Pentium M processor, has a 14.1" screen, andweighs about 5lbs. CNET already has a full review on the Latitude D610: CNET Dell Latitude D610 Review

Outtake from CNET Review: "Designwise, there's a lot to like about the Latitude D610; it's a dead ringer for the no-nonsense Latitude D600. At 1.2 inches thick, 12.4 inches wide, and 10.1 inches deep, the Latitude D610's dark silver case is just a few tenths of an inch larger than the Latitude D600's; it weighs 5.4 pounds..."

The Dell Precision M70 (15.4" screen)and M20 (14.1" screen)notebooks are designed forEngineers, designers, architects, digital artists and publishers who want to go mobileand run computationally intensive applications exceptionally fast. For instance, creating complex CAD models and assemblies would be perfectly suited for the Precision M70.

The Precision notebooksfeature256MB OpenGL graphics, and high bandwidth memory architecture. A hard drive protection system dubbed "Strike Zone" is also included in these notebooks to protect from data loss in the occurrence of someone dropping the machine.

The 15.4" screen Precision M70 can be configured with the latest and fastest 2.13GHz Pentium M processor, up to 2GB of superfast DDR2 RAM and an ultrafast 7200RPM 60GB harddrive. If you're willing to spend $5,000, you can configure a Precision M70 system that's got all the latest and fastest components!

With the most basic of configurations the M70 starts at $2,099 and the M20 starts at $1,649.

 

What does OpenGL mean? Does it compare to like a 6800? Whats the differnce between regular gfx and Quadro gfx? Also, I'm wondering if they did already change the m60 to the m70, and the d800 to the d810, possibly an 8700 soon? They all have the same skill range and case.
