Dell Latitude D531 15.4″ 2GHz Dual-Core Notebook PC on SALE
The Dell Latitude D531 15.4″ Laptop is presently offered for a discounted price. Dell describes it as their budget-savvy notebook PC with great features and performance. However, this does not feature a slim body like the Dell Latitude Z Notebook.
At PacificGeek online store, the Dell Latitude D531 Laptop with 15.4-inch 1280x800p display is available for only $179.99 ($369.99). Like the HP DV7-1245DX 17″ Entertainment Notebook, the Latitude D531 is powered by AMD’s Turion X2 processor.
