The left side. No Express Card for us this time (view large image)

The right side. Only a DVD Burner and two USB slots (view large image)

The machine is practically as thin as two decks of cards. (view large image)
Screen
Many people complained about the terrible brightness level of the D620. Unfortunately, I don?t have a D620 to compare it to. I do, however, have a Viewsonic VX2025wm desktop monitor that has been color calibrated with a Spyder2 Suite. This seems like an apples to orange type of comparison but if I am to compare it, I must use something that has been in my possession for at least one full year. The added benefit is that this comparison shows how far the colors differ from a screen that has near-perfect color reproduction.
I am happy to report the 14.1-inch, 1440x900 screen is surprisingly brighter than I expected. I was able to easily see it indoors with the sun behind me. This was tested with highest screen brightness level (8/8).

The screen facing the sun while indoors. Easily readable. (view large image)


Outdoors but under a shady tree. More difficult to read but manageable. (view large image)
Color accuracy and contrast, on the other hand, out of the box already left me disappointed. The best way to describe the contrast is a dark shirt that has been washed too many times. The horizontal viewing angles are very good but I can?t say the same about the vertical ones. You have to stare directly at the screen or else there will be discoloration and distortion. There is a bit of light leakage at the bottom. If you truly want the best screen available, the best bet would be to wait until LED screens come out or hook the laptop up to a monitor.

The front of the screen: the dark colors tend to look much richer in dark places. (view large image)

Speakers
The speakers output at about two watts and are under the left palm (I could feel them vibrating). There are the quick mute and volume buttons on the top of the keyboard, all very handy to have. The speakers are loud ... much louder than I expected. Depending on what is being played they might be able to fill a small room. Unfortunately, a loud speaker does not always equal quality output. At high and sometimes even medium levels distortions start occurring. Granted, this is a business machine that was primarily designed to just output warnings and the like. It?s like Dell bought out all the extra Gameboy speakers and super sized them.
If you like to listen to music, bring your own external speakers and possibly your own sound card.
Processor and Performance
CPU: My machine came equipped with the new Santa Rosa platform. Upgrades to the processor include a faster front-side bus and a new level of power state. According to an Intel rep (I used to work in retail), I was told these new chips are about 10-15 percent faster and equally consume less battery life than the previous Centrino generation. This will not, however, make minor application usage (office programs) run any faster. The design behind this is most likely for the battery use and people that need a faster processor (multimedia users).
