Yep, and you can find used Latitudes or whatever their current equivalent is, usually with some half-way decent dedicated Quadro or FirePro GPU, for really good prices on used markets. I can usually find corporate liquidators who have tons of them for $300-600 for something recent and decent. The older Latitudes like the D830 are tanks too; user (or IT-department)-serviceable everything, parts cheap on eBay if you need, module bay batteries, magnesium chassis, metal hinges, good keyboard, no stupid clicky trackpad...they got a lot right. Swap in an SSD and max out the RAM and they're awesome linux workhorses.
