    and I am new to Dell laptops. I am researching as much as possible, but can anyone tell me anything I may want to know in connection with this model? Even just saying it is great would work for me :) The reviews I have seen are good.

    FYI, the configuration of the model I am looking at is as follows:

    1.2ghz Intel Core Duo ULV U2600 Dual Core Processor
    1.5GB DDR2 667 Memory
    12.1" WXGA Matte Screen
    60GB Hard Drive
    Dell A/B/G 1405 Wireless Card
    Dell Bluetooth 355 Bluetooth Card
    Built in gigabit 10/100/1000 LAN and 56k Modem
    Windows XP Professional
    Includes Both 6 cell and 9 cell batterys (both hold full charge), D-Dock with DVD Burner and Mediabase with CDRW.
    Includes dells ultimate corporate warranty with gold support / Completecare.

    Thanks!

    depends on what you want to use it for, but it looks fine for business type / portable use

    Its great to port around. I sold off my ultra portable dell (dell latitude x300) and i miss it. The D420 is a great machine also. It will be more than sufficient for your purpose.
