True, more metal in the chassis with D800. 8600c is perfectly adequate
though.

False. Except for the cosmetics, they're identical.

Edward,

In the past, wasn't there a fairly significant difference in the durability
of the cases, Latitude being tougher/stronger?

Normally Dell suggest Latitude for business users and Inspiron for home
users as as home use machines wont get knocked about so much
