The Dell Latitude ATG D620 semi-rugged laptop was formerly announced yesterday and good ol LaptopMag is already out with their review of the system here. Just a refresher, the D620 features:

  • 14.1 inch display with ambient light sensor, glass overlay, and anti-reflective coating
  • Display is 1.5 times brighter than most commercial notebooks for better viewing in the sun
  • 500 nits of brightness
  • WXGA (1280 x 800 resolution)
  • Supports up to 4GB of RAM
  • ATG task lights for keyboard lighting
  • Shock mounted hard drive and LCD
  • Intel Core 2 Duo processors
  • Windows Vista capable

Here’s the verdict from LaptopMag:

Dell’s first semi-rugged notebook is a commendable effort; the ATG D620 looks more like a reinforced Latitude than a system that’s been designed from the ground up for field use, but it delivers a better balance of speed, features, and durability than other systems in its class. On the other hand, Panasonic’s Toughbook CF-74, which features a 13.3-inch touchscreen and weighs a pound less, is a better bet for frequent travelers.
