Is that 100 IR only for refurb notebooks?

Thank you. I tried looking.

What about mobiles video chipsets?

edit: Wait a minute, that's the Pentium M, I'm looking for the Celeron M review.

Very nice, although I must resist till the 802.11g Centrinos come out!

Dothan isn't the celeron m. Dothan is the new Pentium-M with 2MB cache.

My bad. Will edit.

you will need to bump up the RAM over 128. XP will be slow as molasses with only 128mb of RAM.

 

[richardycc]

don't all latitude series come with 3yr warranty?

Dell allows you to upgrade to an 802.11b/g internal minipci card (usually $30 but sometimes free).

The bundling of the Intel's wireless 802.11b with the pentium-m processor and calling it centrino is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. It really shouldn't matter whether you use dell's internal card or intel's.

Most people would proabably avoid Dell overcharging this upgrade and just buy 256 or more on sale. 128 is pretty insufficient though if you need responsiveness

100Off MIR or 100 off by default?? If you buy a system above 1k, it's useful.

I just dont know about that 1.3GHZ processor...I guess they don't offer anything faster than that in the D500...*sigh*

 

[RossMAN]

If only this had 256MB RAM and combo DVD/CD-RW for $899 shipped I'd order this in a heart beat.

The Pentium-M 1.3 is as fast as a PIV 2.4.

Thanks for catching that.

What are the differences between Centrino 1.3 and P4m 2.4?

 

[wakko]

anybody know how well the intel video card is on this?

You are not going to play any games with the Intel graphics but it is more than adequate for general tasks.
