    I think it's a Dell Latitude D-series model.

    I hope you are not choosing a laptop just for its looks.

    Fairly certain the first two aren't Dells. The third one is a Dell, and it is indeed a Latitude of the D-Series. It isn't a D620 or D630, though, as it has speakers on the sides of the keyboard. It is most likely a D820 or D830 (may also be one of the D5x0) but it's impossible to tell after that, because the two are nearly identically externally.

    The first ones seem to be old gen HP/Compaq. Actually that makes sense as BMW was/is sponsored by HP.

    I found more info and they definitely look like Hp/Compaq Evo.

    Those pictures are extremely old. None of those models are in production anymore.

    I was gonna say, isn't it ironic that Dell are supplying the laptops to the BMW team, yet they are sponsored by HP!!! But the above post quashed that suggestion!!!

    It could also be a Precision M4300, they are pretty much identical except for the lid. From what I can see, its 15.4'' for sure. Too much space either side of the keyboard to be a 14.1''.

    IIRC, wasn't Dell a sponsor for BMW before they decided not to continue their contract? Could just be a laptop from the time when Dell was still a sponsor~

    The third pic is definitely a D820/Precision M65 or D830/Precision M4300. The only way to tell between the two of those would be to see the port layout on the back - it is slightly different and the latter series has S-video output as well. Otherwise it is impossible to tell even after blowing up the picture. The port configurations on the left side of the laptop between the two series were identical. I know...I had both of those laptops (Precision M65, then Precision M4300 as seen in my sig).

    The first pic would most likely be a HP/Compaq NC6000, one of the last of the larger EVO series by Compaq (which really were awesome laptops, at least the 14.1" and lower models - I didnt like the bigger 15" ones which didn't really follow the design trend). I have used these laptops before and had one briefly from work (didn't own it personally but took it home and travelling with me for about a week or two). This is a Pentium M based laptop, single core.
