The Dell Latitude E6400, the update to the D630, packs in all the essentials needed to keep road warriors productive on the go: a speedy Intel Core 2 Duo processor, long battery life, and a host of security and durability features. Factor in the revamped design, which replaces its predecessor’s stodgy aesthetic for one that’s much more streamlined and visually appealing, and you have an excellent notebook for demanding business users.

The screen is LED backlit and has a native resolution of 1440×900, which is more than enough screen real estate for office work. The quality and size of the display make it an exceptionally good notebook for on-the-spot presentations to clients, for example. Of course, it’s also there if you happen to have 15 copies of The Matrix lying around your office, as we do, and want to put the 8x DVD R/W to good use. The stereo speakers do an adequate job, but they’re really there for when you use the integrated webcam and microphone to collaborate with colleagues.

Dell has made a few practical changes to the design too. The red ‘Task Lights’ of the Latitude D630 ATG, which served to illuminate the keyboard in low-light situations, have been supplanted by a backlit keyboard. Matched with a sensor to dynamically alter the screen brightness, it makes for a laptop that remains usable even in the gloomiest of environments.

Hard drive options are copious. You can get normal 5,400rpm SATA HDDs in 80GB, 120GB and 160GB capacities as well as 80GB and 120GB capacities that come pre-encrypted. You can also get 7,200rpm drives ranging from 80GB all the way up to 250GB and all with Free Fall Sensors, though as yet there are no SSD options to choose from. In addition to all this, you can specify custom hard drive partitioning. As standard you get integrated Intel GMA X4500HD graphics, but discrete nVidia Quadro 160M graphics with 256MB of memory is available as well. You can also choose whether to have ExpressCard slots or PC Card slots, which is handy if you use legacy PC Card devices such as HSDPA modems.

The Alps touchpad has a nice smooth texture and is reasonably responsive, but could be improved. Lag time and accuracy were worse than what we’ve seen on many competing business notebooks. The size of the touchpad surface was large enough for comfortable control and the two touchpad buttons spanned the full length of the touchpad, and each had a soft click when pressed. The touchpoint/trackpoint located in the center of the keyboard is a nice improvement over the touchpoint on the older D630, but again we found the touchpoints on business notebooks from Lenovo and HP to be more responsive and accurate. On the bright side, the touchpoint includes three mouse buttons for better control with tabbed web browsing.

Dell is known for offering highly configurable systems, and the Latitude E6400 is no exception. The base model, about $1,100, still includes the same 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU, but trades down to Vista Basic, 1GB of RAM, an 80GB 5,400rpm hard drive and leaves out options such as the fingerprint reader, Webcam, Bluetooth, and even the modem. Dell would probably charge an extra $10 for the right mouse button if it could, but at the same time, it’s nice to not be forced to pay for accessories you’ll never use.
