Dell Latitude E6400 Display and Graphics The standard Dell Latitude E6400 display has a resolution of 1280800 (WUXGA), but many users will prefer the optional (129) LED backlit display, which draws less energy and has a resolution of 1440900 pixels.
![]() Dell E6400 Support Update To TheDell has announce an update to the Dell Latitude E Family of notebooks including the Dell Latitude E6420, Dell Latitude E6520 and the rugged Dell Latitude E6420 ATG. Dell Latitude E6400 Pricing The Dell Latitude E6400 starts at a reasonable 1,139 in its base configuration, which includes 1GB of RAM, integrated graphics, Intel Core 2 Duo processor ( P8400 2.26GHz, 3M L2 Cache), a DVD playerCD-RW combo drive, 80GB hard drive and Vista Home Basic. The Dell Latitude E6400s base configuration isnt ideal for most business users however, and I recommended to paying a little extra to get the most out of an E6400. I recommend either Vista Business (99) or Vista Business with Windows XP downgrade (99). Upgrading to 2GB of RAM (40) and a 160GB (45) hard drive is also recommended. For 1,323 you can walk away with a very capable business notebook. Adding all of the high-end options, including the battery slice, the most powerful processor and graphics options can spend over 3,000 on a Dell Latitude E6400. Dell Latitude E6400 19-hours of Battery Life The Dell Latitude E6400 can get up to 19-hours of run time to get over-worked workers through very, very long days on the road. The claimed 19-hours is achieved by combining a 9-cell battery that protrudes from the rear of the E6400 with a 12-cell battery slice that attaches to the bottom of the notebook. In order to acheive the 19-hour battery mark youll need to order the E6400 with a LED display, a solid-state drive and integrated graphics. Dell E6400 Support Full Day AtThis kind of battery life should please all but the most crazed workaholic road warrior.With this configuration should still have enough juice to put in a full day at the office, work for an hour while waiting for a flight and still have plenty of power to work through a cross-country flight. The Dell Latitude E6400 9-cell battery is a 99 option and the 12-hour slice is a 399 option. Del Latitude E6400 Drive Options The standard E6400 drive is has a relatively meager 80GB of storage capacity and spins at 5400RPM, but there are a full range of drive options on this model. ![]() Theres also a 120GB full-disk encryption drive available for 139. There is a 64GB solid state drive available for 649, but I dont recommend it unless you have very specific demands and deep pockets. Solid state drives with 128GB capacities will become the norm in the coming months and the benefits of SSD are still being debagted. Dell Latitude E6400 Processors The E6400 uses Dells latest Intel Centrino 2 technology, which includes Intel Core 2 Duo processors. The base 2.26Hz processor with 3MB of L2 Cache will suffice for most users, especially if your work day consists of email, spreadsheets and Microsoft Office applications. Those looking for more performance should skip over the 2.4GHz option to the T9400 (190), which offers 6MB of L2 cache and has a clock speed of 2.53GHz. Dell does offer the Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 for 390, but only those that need to squeeze every ounce of performance out of their E6400 should consider it. As usual, theres a steep premium for ordering the top of the line, and relatively short-run, processor.
