Dell Latitude E6400 Notebook Foreign Test

Centrino 2 models listed in the rush of today’s notebook manufacturers in order to maintain the competitiveness of products, are non-configuration a lot of effort. Dell Latitude E6400 compilation of foreign evaluation process, we feel that the Dell Latitude E6400 improvements in the business field, after all, Lenovo’s ThinkPad business models hegemony stood for many years, in addition there have been fatigued, the business Compaq 281766-001 battery Users may not only pay a business laptop brand, which is this time we compiled some foreign relatively rare in China, the reasons for notebook evaluation.
In March 2008, Dell Latitude E Series business model has tempt our news appetite. 14.1 inches with a WXGA + LED backlit LCD display, 2kg (4.251 pounds) of weight, eSATA interface and backlit keyboard, these configurations have been enough to attract me (referring to the original author, the same below) attention. Last year, M1330 laptop has just launched two weeks later, I had a book, but because of Compaq 289053-001 battery waiting too long to cancel the order. So this year I responded quickly, in the E6400 notebook has just released a few hours to spend $ 1279 after booking a table.

Hardware configuration analysis:

Freedom to choose the configuration with the purchase of one Dell computer fun. I chose to focus on the P8600 configure it a good price. Since I do not obsessed with the game in 3D, so he chose the lower power consumption Intel GPU. With LED backlight WXGA + LCD display is necessary to choose and, in some circumstances there is no light, backlit keyboard is very useful.
160GB hard drive is the most cost-effective option (I already have a 320GB hard disk for replacement). And this Dell Latitude E6400 comes with 1GB of DDR2 memory, it is worth mentioning that, in the Dell memory upgrade if there is not very cost-effective, because the price of Dell’s 1GB memory upgrade can be purchased elsewhere 2GB of RAM. Expansion slot in the sink, I chose the Express Card slot, because Compaq 319411-001 battery he can buy if you need an adapter to read the old PC Card. I need a microphone to meet the daily application, while the British have just configured in a combination of microphone and camera.
He also has some built-in 56k modem needs, but Dell does not provide for user selection 56K Modem, so I booked a USB modem instead. Bluetooth is not a choice, so I booked from other parts of a USB Bluetooth device. Dell’s product warranty period for a variety of user choice, and I extend a three-year battery warranty, because in my experience, a notebook battery in 18 months after the loss of half of its total electricity consumption.
Dell E6400 system with pre-installed software:
I booked E6400 laptop pre-installed Windows Vista Business, downgrade to XP Professional support systems function. Degradation function is pre-installed XP SP2 on a Vista Business SP1 specifically for the DVD. Other installation CD-ROM also includes Roxio Creator 9.0 DE, PowerDVD DX 8.0 and Dell Webcam Central software CD, Unfortunately, Dell does not provide any device drivers CD, such as extra words Compaq 337657-001 battery need to install the driver downloaded from Dell’s website.
The only instructions is to provide safety manual paper-based, environmental and management information manual. No paper Quick Start and User Guide. Although some guidance has been imported to help the system, but users still need to turn to Dell’s support site to download some of the main guidance, it seems not very user-friendly.

Design

Recently, Dell is focusing on new design style, E6400 laptop with the system than its previous products are more attractive. Had attracted me choose E6400 is that it is very thick texture. Dell is now chasing the trend of slim appearance, still in the Latitude business models to maintain a certain kind of calm appearance. Lacquered finish is neither matte nor material, but some areas are a mixture of the two germplasm Compaq 347188-001 battery material design. Bottom surface is matte painting, design and more style. In addition, Dell is also preparing for the female users the appearance of a red model, but the user can not choose this lively appearance of the shell.
The weight of the E6400, printing created a lot of controversy. According to my measurement, configure the six-cell battery, hard drive and an optional optical drive E6400 weighs 2.31 kilograms, more than the official report released quad-cell battery, solid-state hard drives and other parts of the province, heavy weight 1.95 kg notebook a lot, and configuration than in other media reports nine-cell battery 2.55 kg lighter weight. Thus, in weight, E6400 notebook than my previous Zepto 6024 is light weight only 20 grams, the improvement is not great.
Laptop hinge shaft is one of the most important quality indicators. Open the top cover while the E6400 requires two hands to use. Bottom of the notebook is the alloy material, I tried pressing the surface of the shell or distorted, but did not cover any deformation. Shell is a separate metal Compaq 347189-001 battery from a screw, which makes open the notebook becomes easy. Chassis is metal construction, the installation does not twist the battery latch, marked on the battery voltage is available standards.
E6400 bottom of the texture is very smooth. The bottom of the configuration of some small rubber pad, rubber pad if they can not firmly stable in the notebook somewhere notebook is easy to fall. The bottom of the battery is also very smooth. In addition, E6400 does not design any user an easy hand carry a laptop device.
Hard drive with two screws, and no other supporting modules. It is only the bottom edge of a very simple groove for a fixed, flat embedded in the bottom of it. Hard disk shock Compaq 371785-001 battery protection without any identification. Dell may be that the user can choose SSD or HDD with free fall sensor hard drive protection more robust estimates for Dell users do not need this logo.

Display

In the operating system Device Manager, the LCD panel is detected on the model is LPL0140 (from LG-Philips LCD panel with the DELL Latitude E6400 battery may be the same LCD panel?) The screen effect is dazzling, and my first impression is great value of this display, contrast, color and viewing angles are good, except a chance to show recovery from the vertical viewing angle is parallel to the angle, the color appeared reversed, the performance in a very pure white white. My camera can identify a small colored stripe at the bottom of the screen, but in normal use is not perceived. So far, I have not seen any dead pixels or bright spots. Overall, the quality of this display is superior.
E6400 notebook built environment light sensor, the screen can automatically adapt to the environment brightness to adjust the screen brightness. However, the best time to use this feature turned off, because it automatically adjusts to the brightness of a relatively dark, it seems not very comfortable, probably because of photoreceptor in the bottom of the screen, it is detected but it is the color of clothes tone.

Keyboard and touchpad

UK notebook keyboard contains 84 keys, less than two laptops. Center-right keyboard not visible region of the arc, the use of the keyboard generally feel good. Thinkpad laptop, but I do not have or ever compare with the Dell series, while the E6400 is that it is dissatisfied with the main keyboard layout, web users regularly browse the document more hope PgUp and PgDn keys are available, they also want Dell Latitude E6400 able to take full advantage of the right shift key on the two key bits of space (a few years ago Dell has also been used in small E series). If Dell is designed so you do not need to use Fn + F4 to set the Num Lock key instead of the function Fn + F5 instead of using the Scroll Lock key function.
Touch pad is 66mm x 39mm medium size produced the Alps touchpad of Dell. Because the keyboard is similar to built with the ThinkPad TrackPoint, so do not set a larger space of the touchpad. However, this touchpad is very smooth to use, and the buttons function well, a wide range of moving friction is not large, finger force is relatively small, with it feeling smooth. If you want to adjust touch pad and scroll wheel, DELL Latitude E6410 battery also offers a number of specialized software to adjust according to their need to feel.
E6400 laptop with backlit keyboard option. It in low light conditions is undoubtedly very helpful. Because light from the white plastic letters on the keys, revealed to, this also means that the printing will not blur the letters fade. However, in the top of the keyboard, the light was dim, showing that the lighting system is not perfect. Also, if you put the line of sight, when horizontal keyboard, you will see lights on the keyboard hidden below, create a visual effect of dispersion. Photoreceptors can be used around the backlight control effect, you can also use the Fn key for manual operation.
Status indicator set at the top of the keyboard, palm rest position than in the following set of lights more easily seen by the user. But when closed the notebook, these status lights will not be visible, so Dell is specifically set out in a notebook, two small lights. Notebook is running, the power light will remain blue; laptop sleep when the power light will blink. Battery indicator will prompt the battery charge status.
Hard disk
It offers the Samsung HM160HI hard drive capacity of 160GB. Single platter capacity of 160GB, so close to a 320GB 5400rpm hard drive performance hard drive.

Sound

Keyboard layout on both sides of the mesh DELL Latitude E6500 battery panel and the built-in speaker. If you make a little closer observation reveals that most of the surface set up a small loudspeaker (about 12 mm or 0.5 inches) to help complete all the playback features. Tests showed that despite high-profile player works well, but poor bass speakers, sound high. It’s sound card driver is IDT Audio, but Dell does not provide sound management software alternatives, such as Realtek. Although the speaker settings on both sides of the keyboard is beyond reproach, but we have no way to reduce the treble will increase according to bass player. Therefore, comparing the two, E6400 notebook is less than in the audio playback before me Zepto notebook.
