The Inspiron™ 6400 was designed with versatility in mind. It incorporates Intel® Centrino® Duo mobile technology and Genuine Windows® XP Home or Genuine Windows® XP Professional to provide wireless connectivity anywhere wireless access is available and improved battery performance versus its predecessor. Thanks to the combination of Intel 945® mobile chipsets and low power consumption Intel® Core™ Duo Processor, you don’t need to compromise on battery life if you want to enjoy your multimedia or productivity applications away from home or in the office.

Inspiron 6400’s 15.4″ wide aspect displays and the brand new Intel® Media Accelerator 950 graphics technology all combine to provide a superb visual experience.

The eye-catching, stylish Artic Silver and Alpine White design incorporates a 5-1 card reader as well as front-access multimedia buttons for conveniently controlling audio CDs or movies. Even connecting all your digital multimedia devices is easy with the Inspiron 6400. It comes with a standard S-Video (TV-Out) port, IEEE 1394, and four built-in USB 2.0 interfaces.

The Inspiron 6400 also features the next generation ExpressCard card slot for connecting various expansion devices (ie. WWAN ExpressCards, TV Tuners cards - items sold seperately) - please note that this model does not support the older PCMCIA Interface.

The 6400, like so much of the Dell range, comes in a variety of user-defined guises so bear this in mind when it comes to the performance numbers and features I’ll be making reference to. Indeed, in the time we’ve had the notebook, a Dell special offer has upped the memory to 2GB from the two 512MB modules of DDR 2 SDRAM featured in our version.

Review By Notebookreview

The screen on this e1505 is the WSXGA+ (1680×1050) Ultrasharp with TrueLife (glossy). The Ultrasharp screen is listed at having significantly higher viewing angle, higher resolution, and slightly higher brightness. Overall the screen is very sharp with nice saturated colors and high contrast. Brightness is excellent, next to my everyday ThinkPad T43 it certainly stands out as being much better. There is some light leakage near the bottom of the screen, but nothing major. The backlight in use must be quite strong because I can actually feel quite a bit of heat coming from the bottom of the screen. You could bump the brightness down (using Fn + Arrow Down) to level four of seven and still have very comfortable viewing.

Review By Pcauthority

The X1400 graphics are mediocre, you’ll have to drop resolutions to play the latest games as 12.5fps and 13.3fps in Half-Life 2 and Far Cry attest. You certainly won’t be disappointed by the Inspiron’s speed in general use, though: those two cores mean you’ll hardly ever see the hourglass, and it races through tasks like applying photo filters. Its score of 0.96 in our benchmarks is just four percent slower than a 3.2GHz Pentium D desktop machine.

Review By Asia.cnet

The Vista-based Inspiron 6400’s battery ran out of juice at the 2-hours 34-minute mark of our DVD battery-drain test. That’s not bad for a laptop that isn’t particularly portable, although the smaller battery on the 15.4-inch MacBook Pro (which includes a slower hard drive) lasted almost half an hour longer. The Dell Latitude ATG D620, with a smaller screen and less-power-hungry components, outlasted the Inspiron 6400 by 1 hour 21 minutes.

Dell also sacrifices games-playing ability in an effort to make the price right, so choose a notebook such as the Evesham Voyager C550 RD if this is a priority. You certainly won’t be disappointed by the Inspiron’s speed in general use, though: those two cores mean you’ll hardly ever see the hourglass, and it races through tasks like applying photo filters. Its score of 0.99 in our benchmarks - just 1 per cent slower than a 3.2GHz Pentium D desktop machine - would have been even higher with 1GB of memory instead of 512MB (which is supplied via two 256MB modules, so no slots are free).
