Dell Latitude D610 Laptop Wireless Computer (Refurbished)
I purchased a refurbished Dell Laptop with low expectations. And I got, I believe, a much sturdier computer than I expected. I really hadn’t wanted a Dell, but that was what was available at the time. I didn’t give it 5 stars simply because I do not believe everything is perfect.
It operates well at speed for my relatively simple needs, and is complete with OS for a very reasonable price. Even the battery has a little life in it .. it is good for about an hour. I bought it to replace a Lenovo laptop that I have had for years, and relied upon until it had a disagreement with a glass of tea.
I had no trouble downloading and installing a few reliable programs like Firefox, Thunderbird, Chrome, and Winamp. I had a little trouble with the wireless, but it was my problem, not a problem with the machine.
The only problem that I foresee is with the power cable. It doesn’t have a sturdy center post like others i have seen. It looks more like a cable TV connector with that skinny little pin that bends easily if not placed precisely in the right position.

I bought one of these laptops two months ago. It has been working just fine. Today Microsoft told me that the license is not valid. It has a valid certificate of authenticity on the back but does not have a second “refurbished” CoA. When I look at the internal System Properties/General tab it says “XP Corporate” which means it was covered under a volume/site license which can not be transferred or sold. I will probably have to buy a fresh copy of XP ($150) and re-install.
Before I made the order I checked to see that the advertisement specified “Genuine Windows XP”. I also checked the CoA when it arrived. When the Microsoft updater offered to run “Genuine Advantage” to check the authenticity I confidently thought “sure, go right ahead.” Now every time I restart I get a big message that says I am a victim of software piracy. If left uncorrected, I expect the operating system would eventually simply stop running.
Some vendors specify “Genuine Windows XP”. If it arrives with XP it may be legitimate, or NOT. Microsoft has a very active updating and authenticating program. You probably don’t want a system that is not kept up to date and free of security vulnerabilities. The updater will check the system validity.
