    The new D630 is out on Dell website since yesterday.

    The price is not bad, same as the old one.

    I have the D620 last year and I had to return it 45 days later because the screen is not bright and limited viewing angle and it hurt my eye so bad!

    I have not seen a good review about the new brigher screen on the D630.

    1. Is the screen better than D620?

    2. Does it has limited viewing angle like before?

    I wonder when will the Quadro NVS 135M be available? No word on the Dell site, instead they recommend the NVS 110/120M in the older D620/820.

    Yes, integrated graphics will have a much better battery life.

    The optional dedicated graphics card on Latitudes weren't built for gaming anyway. ATI FireGLs and Nvidia Quadros are workstation video cards; they're meant for 3d rendering and whatnot.

    How about converting DVD to .avi? Is that rendering? Maybe I need delicated graphic card then.

    I notice when I have a integrated graphic on my celeron, when the HD is running, there is a laggard on the screen. I wonder if it will happen on the D630.

    I was able to play some games with the NVIDIA card. I didn't go beyond EA Sports, and older generation games (Godfather, Mafia).

    Anyone know why the option with discreet graphics doesn't have Inter a/g/n card as an option?
