    Hi guys

    I'm looking for my new laptop,

    and I'm very attracted to Dell's Complete Cover warranty :) .

    So, I decided to buy Latitude D820 but the pics I found makes me think

    that D820 might have some light leakage problem

    ;the top of the screen looks like a little bit brighter.

    Is this just a problem with the pics or real?

    pics = http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow/0,1206,l=174406&pg=0&s=1565&a=174467,00.asp

    I wanna hear from the users.

    and also, this laptop has a 512MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 120M Graphic card

    as an option, and I have no clue about its performance(for games).

    Is it better then x1400?

    The 512MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M card is based off the Go 7400. It should perform very similarly to the X1400. But the extra 256 of Turbocache memory on the Quadro might help. However this card was never designed for games. It is made for CAD work other 3D software.
