My current Latitude is a C840, also nearly 5 years old. In fact it will be out of warranty on April 24 and that's why I'm replacing it. If you are familiar with Dell's product line, you realize that the Inspiron isn't really the right model for our work but I have bought 3 of them. One I used for a year or so to supplement my last desktop. The other two were gifts, one to each daughter. They've been generally happy with the Inspiron but use them less intensively than I would. The Inspirons were much less expensive than this Latitude.
