Question:
Dell D620 or IBM T60
I want a 14 inch or smaller notebooks. It can either be widescreen or regular. I do surfing, listening to music, movies, and light gaming of older games (Red alert 2, counterstrike). So I dont need a high end card but I need a dedicated card. My budget is 1500.
Here are the specs:
Dell D620
1.66ghz core duo
1 gb ram
80 gb hd 5400 rpm
dvdrw
256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 110M
9 cell battery
$1400
IBM T60
1.83 ghz core duo
512 ram
80 gb hd 5400 rpm
dvdrw
64 mb ATI X1300
6 cell battery
$1529 ( I know I can get a lower price but I want to buy from buy.com)
Obviously both of these offer similar build quality (Although the IBM is a little better). Im concerned with the video cards, which one is better?
Since these systems are so similar you can see why I need help deciding.

Did you configure D620 higher than 1599 to get 400 off?
I heard the video card is about the same.
You can get more out of D620, but the build quality and the screen quality of thinkpad is better.

that nvidia card is a lot better than the ati if you want to know like 64 mb to 256 mb, also the imb is alot better quality than the dell not questions asked. if you want something powerful go with the dell(or more powerfull) or imb if you want something with a little less power which can still run red alert 2 and a lot more reliablity then go with ibm
you choice you choose

It's an onsite offer not coupon.
If you configure more than 1599 and go to the summary page, you will see -400.

Do you know how long this discount lasts?
Answer:
Re: Dell D620 or IBM T60
It expires on 5/24.
There is probably a similar deal after that but not for sure.

The Nvidia card is NOT a lot better. In fact if your going to be gaming I think the X1300 will do a better job. And the Quadro card on the D620 is Turbochache meaning it borrows memory from the system RAM. So it is only 64MB's dedicated. Nvidas Quadro cards were never designed to play games. I would go for the T60. It's a better built machine, and has great service!

I agree the d620 is a better machine except for the screen

Re: Dell D620 or IBM T60
Well I only play older games such as red alert 2 and counterstrike. Would the quadro not handle that or would the X1300 do a better job?
