    I like the V2000Z for its value/feature balance and the fact that its not as ancient as many of the Dell lines. I know Dell doesn't carry any AMD lines but which model compares closest to the V2000z?

    well, that's where there's a big hole in the Dell lineup and I'm confused they haven't done anything about producing a 14" screen consumer notebook with some nice multimedia features such as the dv10000 / compaq v2000. Honestly, even though the 700m is a 12" screen notebook it does have the glossy screen like the v2000 and is portable so I'm going to say that's the closest, you could make a case for the inspiron 6000 but it's just so much bigger.

    The Latitude D610 is a 14.1" screen notebook but it's more business than consumer oriented and has no fancy multimedia features or glossy screen.

    Any idea when the 630m will be available in the US? Is it the same body as the 600m? There is not much info other than on European websites.
