    What are the differences between the Latitude versus Insperion Dell note books ? I am trying to decide between a Latitude D810 and a "comparable" Insperion ..( Sonoma 2.o ghz, 512mb mem , usb / fire wire ports 2nd battery )

    Having owned a Latitude (still have it) - I believe the biggest difference is they are more suited for corperate use. The components are not "bleeding edge" , and hardware is generally more accepted and tested in a buisness envrionemnt. These machines generally more 'compatible' with the corperate world.

    I am not so sure that still applies - but I believe when I bought mine (about 4 years ago) that is how they were marketed.

    The lats have a proper port replicator as an option. The inspiron 6000 does not. Lats also have dual pointing devices.
