Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Purchase a refurbished Dell Latitude C610

A refurbished computer is just as good as new, but may not have a manufacturer's warranty. After the previous owner returns the laptop, an authorized repair center fixes any problems and guarantees the work. A refurbished Dell laptop C610 will provide you excellent service at a bargain price. When you find a refurbished Dell computer C610, don't wait to buy; they're usually in limited supply.

I recommend: Check with Kijiji US, Inc., which often sells refurbished Dell 610 notebooks. Newton's Universe also sells refurbished Dell C610 Laptop computers.

Increase the RAM of your existing Dell Latitude C610

The C610 comes with 256 MB of RAM, but can hold up to 1 GB. Adding RAM is usually an inexpensive way to speed up your laptop's processing. To get the maximum RAM, you'll need to discard the existing chip and buy two 512 MB chips.

I recommend: MemoryStock is one option for purchasing RAM chips for your Dell C610. EDGE Tech Corporation also sells compatible RAM chips. Both companies offer a 100% guarantee of compatibility.

Expand Dell C610 Notebook Computers with external accessories

Although the built-in 14.1-inch monitor is normally a comfortable size, you might find that long hours of work require a larger monitor, 20 inches for example. Also, when working at home or the office, a wireless mouse and full-size keyboard will make long use easier.

I recommend: Dell offers many flat panel LCD monitors that you can connect to your Dell laptop, several of which are 20-inches diagonal. TigerDirect sells many wireless mouse/keyboard combos. Wireless connections are usually via radio frequency, which allows non-line-of-sight communication.
