I remember all this models, use to work at Dell tech support over the phone, was my first job
I had a Dell Latitude D620. It died twice on me. Fixed under warranty the first time. Problem was the nVidia GPU which had big problems at the time.
I remember cases like that, having thermal issues that kill GPU due to bad design of heat sink, once it was consider a recall they go with those who call in and exchange them for better models
2/4
It originally shipped with Windows Vista but can support Windows XP through Windows 10 and of course Linux.
3/4
A 4GB RAM limit, lack of dedicated GPU and relatively low resolution (for its size anyway) are its weak points.
4/4
