I haven't heard of any complaints from the ones that we ordered these for at the college of business. Most people who wanted these like the lightweight configuration verses any performance issues. ________________________________ From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lee Duynslager Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 11:52 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Latitude D430 for Every Day use Anybody out there have a user that uses one of those ultralight Lat D430 in a docking station, regular lcd monitor, keyboard and mouse for every day use with Email, Web, Word and Excel up at once. How does that perform as an main machine used every day? Or would people who attempted to use this model that way recommend against this because the performance suffers?
