Samsung X11 Dual Core Notebook Versus Dell Latitude D620 Duo Core Notebook

Once upon a time, notebook computers were owned by only the highest of CEO’s and the richest of Harvard grads. They were large, slow, and without much power. Their usefulness was only guaranteed for such tasks as word processing, data entry, and programming. But nowadays, notebook computers are as commonplace as the cell phone; they are expected to perform a wide varieties of tasks, and they must do them fast.

The Samsung X11 and the Dell Latitude D620 are both equipped with Centrino Duo Core technology, which greatly increases processing speeds, something every computer owner wants. They both also come equipped with Bluetooth and with Intel ABG internal wireless capabilities, allowing them to connect with virtually any wireless network. When it comes to overall features, both notebooks display a nice range of options, but when it comes to performance, Dell’s D620 wins hands-down.

Both laptop computers are small and light weight, and both are black and silver in color. The X11 has a somewhat plain look to it, being modest in design. The D620 looks very sophisticated with its black and silver variations and its signature silver Dell cover.

The X11 and D620 both come with a touchpad, which works nicely, but only the D620 comes with a track button, which is nestled comfortably between the G, H, and B buttons. The track button also serves as a left mouse button when tapped.

Both laptops also have similar 7-row keyboards, and both have nice firm keys. Occasionally the keys on the X11 seem a tad stiff and may need to pressed harder than normal.
