Dell Latitude D610 Notebook PC (Off-Lease) - Intel Pentium M 1.86GHz, genuine Windows XP Home, 512M

I bought it to replace an

off-brand model I had that blew up.

I have been very happy with the purchase

though I do recommend getting it with

windows vista because xp is going to become

obsolete. (that's why the xp version is

so much more affordable..)

The shipping was very fast and the product

was used, but looked like it was brand new!

(It came from a company)

I bought one of these laptops two months ago. It has been working just fine. Today Microsoft told me that the license is not valid. It has a valid certificate of authenticity on the back but does not have a second "refurbished" CoA. When I look at the internal System Properties/General tab it says "XP Corporate" which means it was covered under a mass/site license which can not be transferred or sold. I will probably have to buy a fresh copy of XP ($100) and re-install.

Before I made the order I checked to see that the advertisement specified "Genuine Windows XP". I also checked the CoA when it arrived. When the Microsoft updater offered to run "Genuine Advantage" to check the authenticity I confidently thought "sure, go right ahead."

BEWARE!

I wanted to get my feet wet with my first laptop for home use. Not wanting to spend four figures, I decided to take a chance with a refurbished Dell Lattitude D610. I opted for a unit that was upgraded to 1.86 GHZ/1GB/100GB HD, It seemd to be a no-brainer for an extra $25. When the package arrived, I was hesitant to open it. I had pictured some beat up, well used machine. I was in for a big surprise. Aside from a few very superficial scratches on the shell, the machine appeared in great shape. I've been told that these lease machines generally are in good shape. The next few hours were spent testing it with no failures. Everything worked as advertised. The mouse and key board were responsive, no broken pixels on the screen. CD/DVD drive in perfect order and the USB ports (all four)worked fine. The Wifi connect immediatly picked up a few LAN's on my street. I piggy-backed to test that feature, but will pick up a router soon. Battery life was around 3 hours and charge time is minimal. Link-Tronics in Santa Anna did a fine job refurbishing the unit and shipping was very quick (paid extra for priority). All in all a great machine for the money. We'll see how it goes long term...

Tampa laptops is a great company to purchase from. I originally recieved a laptop that had been damaged in transit from Fl to NC, and they were so nice and accomodating on the phone, offering to replace the computer with one that works perfectly. I was highly impressed with the level of service and how promptly they responded, just very friendly and professional. I was originally skeptical about it being used, but I've had no problems whatsoever, it's in fantastic shape and I'm truly happy with it. I'd definitely buy from them again . Okay I'm done gushing now. Thanks guys at Tampa Laptops!

The computer came as described. We were very happy with what we got. It was a gift for my daughter and she loves it. It does everything she needs it to do. A few scratches on the top, but she never noticed. The battery life is longer than the newer laptop that I have. I would certainly order through this company again. We felt like we got a great deal.
