  • Slim, lightweight design; full-size keyboard; Wi-Fi Catcher works even when system is powered off.

  • Highly portable; excellent performance, ergonomics and battery life; lots of nice touches; feels very rugged.
  • No builtin optical drive.
  • The Dell Latitude D420 ends up as an almost-ideal business notebook PC. Its a fact that CD-Rs and DVD-Rs have become a very cheap and disposable way to pass large amounts of data around (especially if youre in publishing, advertising, engineering &ndash...
