Build QualityThe D610 is a solid looking notebook -- noticeably thicker and burlier than my old Presario 1710TW, and from what I've read thicker and more durable than the Latitude D600 that it replaced in Dell's business notebook line-up. There is really not any flex when you pick the machine up by a corner, and the screen hinges are solid -- the screen doesn't wobble when you gently shake the notebook back and forth. The bezel surrounding the screen seems to be separated slightly near the bottom (just above the Dell logo -- see picture of keyboard below), although I didn't notice this until after I read about it in online forums. A dust-cover for the ports in back and for the docking port underneath would have been nice. Overall I give the D610 high marks for build quality.
Battery Life
Classic test with primary (6-cell, 4400mAh) battery: 2 hours 23 minutes
Idle test with primary battery: 2 hours 51 minutes
Classic test with primary & modular (also 4400mAh) batteries: 4 hours 25 minutes
Idle test with primary & modular batteries: 6 hours 0 inutes
I haven't actually timed the machine fully draining the batteries, but after normal use with the primary battery for 30 minutes, there was 83% remaining with a reported time left of 2 hours 24 minutes. I would estimate about 3 hours of light-duty computing from the primary battery alone. You could save a little weight with a 4-cell primary battery if you don't rely on batteries much.

Hi Nice BLog Did you know that your laptop will recharge the laptop battery hpmuch faster if you power the laptop off? A typical laptop will recharge the battery in about 3 hours when it is turned on, but when turned off, that same battery will recharge in about half the time.
I prefer apple batteries.it have a long life and very useful.
I love acer batteries
