Dell Latitude E6410 Review

If you are planning to buy a new Dell Business Laptop, then there are multiple options available. Latitude E6410 is the latest addition to the range of Dell Business Laptops. It has a very modern look, great styling and it is powered by latest Intel processor. It weighs within 2.3 kgs and hence it is quite popular amongst the business laptop segment.

Build – Design – Hardware

Latitude E6410 has a sturdy metal top and bottom panel which is preferred in the business segment. The fingerprint proof top with gun metal finish gives the laptop a sexy and stylish look. Dell offers this model in Core i5 or Core i7 CPU option. There is an inbuilt NVIDIA graphic card which can be upgraded to NVS3100 at an additional cost. The hardrive is protected with a shock absorber and the drive heads are bump and drop proof. The 14.1 inch screen has an LED backlight, and comes with an antiglare coating. Good battery life is the USP of this machine.

Keyboard – Mouse – Webcam

The keyboard on E6410 is amazing. The keys are soft and once you tap on the key you can see the backlight too. Being a business laptop this machine lacks a separate number pad. It also comes with a pointing stick and a touch pad, but both of them are not upto the mark, as the pointing stick is not very responsive and the touchpad lacks sensitivity. The inbuilt 3.0 megapixel camera captures good quality images in bright light condition.

Connectivity – Ports – Battery

E6410 is bundled with standard I/O ports like 3 USB 2.0 ports, a firewire port, a memory card reader on the front panel, RJ-45 LAN slot, headphone and mic jacks. The DVD Burner can be easily slid from the chasis of this machine. It lacks the much wanted DVI and HDMI output ports. Battery life is excellent and worth the cost of this popular DELL machine.
