I was set to buy until I found out the hard drive is a 1.8 inch variety and thus it really isnt possible to upgrade it. bummer as this was a great deal
The description says "laptop features either a dual core or core duo processor." Can anyone tell me the difference and whether or not I should care which I get?
Bottom Line D420 2GB Ram DVD/CDRW 6 Cell Battery is good bang for the buck
my mini 10v was $235 shipped with a 3 cell - putting that to 2GB cost me an additional $40 - the 6-cell battery is almost 100 additional on eBay for a mini 10 you can get the 9-cell battery for a d420 for half that
it all depends on how small you want to go - this D420 is for my mom who will use this 75% of the time docked which a mini can't do, but it is still very portable, d-docks are dirt cheap now that the e-series latitiudes are out, I am lucky enough to already have a d-port replicator and a d-bay dock to use

I'm using a D420 right now and love it. Although I've had it for eighteen months now and have just ordered a new battery for it off Amazon for fifty bucks. It's a shame that for two hundred more, I could get a whole 'nother computer with it!

get a media bay caddy off of eBay and put a normal sata/pata 2.5 drive in that caddy - it goes in the same places the dvd drive can go
if you need more storage to take it with you you can always use the media base or get a giant SD card

Thanks a bunch.
Core Duo = Specific line of premium, dual-core/quad-core Intel processors. The most expensive chips before i7 came out. Dual Core = A type of processor that includes several lines of Intel or AMD processors. Technically, a Core Duo is dual-core processor but if they're advertising something as 'dual-core' it's usually something less expensive, like a Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium or AMD dual-core chip.
