After it was all said and done, that was bad planning on my part and had nothing to do with the laptop. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Dell has recently refreshed its Latitude series and new D sits in the middle of the range. Our review sample came with an Intel T Core Duo processor clocked at 2. Both of its predecessors, the D and the D, resided for long spells on the A List. Dell has risen to the challenge by making some sweeping changes to the design. It's gone widescreen and dual-core for a start, and there's also a snazzier colour scheme replacing the sober charcoal of old.
There are several SKUs of the D with differing CPUs, amounts of RAM and various screen resolutions, but some features, as well as accessories such as docking stations, are consistent throughout the range.
And once Dell starts to offer the integrated 3G module as an option, these machines will become even more desirable. Like its big brother, the D has undergone an extensive overhaul, emerging with some sweet new features such as a Instant Desktop Conversion Dell offers a variety of D-Family docking solutions to meet your unique business needs. Choose the convenience of the monitor stand, the increased capabilities of the port replicator or complete your to desktop conversion with a docking station.
The Power of Convenience Uptime is important and Dell offers affordable solutions to keep you productive longer. Add a spare battery to your Latitude purchase for longer life on the road, or choose the flexibility and convenience of the Dell Combination Power Adapter, which gives you a single cable that will connect with standard wall sockets, and car and airplane power adapters.
Presentation is Everything Take your business presentations on the road and know you can always display them in a larger-than-life fashion. Easily connect your Latitude D to compatible PC monitors of all sizes, compatible televisions, or a Dell portable projector, which will give you maximum impact displaying your presentation in a large, crisp and bright format on a screen or wall. Style and Comfort Dell offers a wide range of Latitude carrying cases and bags, designed in a variety of sizes and style to match any laptop.
Whether you're looking for leather cases, nylon cases or backpacks, Dell has solutions to match your needs. Endless Possibilities Dell has everything you need to optimize your mobile computing experience, whether that be wireless mice, keyboards, power adapters or other accessories.
The wide range of affordable and versatile laptop accessories that you can use to enhance your D will ensure that you can work at your peak wherever you are. Warranty Parts Direct Ideal for corporate and public customers who want to diagnose and service their own Dell computer systems, Warranty Parts Direct provides online certification, streamlined parts dispatching, and when necessary, access to Dell technicians.
The D's keyboard is wide enough, but its keys are a bit noisy compared to the D's. Both laptops feature three handy volume buttons, plus a touch pad and a pointing stick with a corresponding set of mouse buttons--though the D's stick has a flat top that's easier to manipulate than the D's rounded eraser head. On the D, the touch pad's standard mouse buttons are of adequate size, but if you add biometric security to your system, Dell swaps them out for two smaller ones with the fingerprint sensor wedged between them; we wish the buttons were larger.
The D has a pretty sorry excuse for a speaker on its front edge, which is not uncommon for a business portable. Fortunately, the D shares the D's excellent steel hinges that secure its display to its base, and it offers a similarly sturdy magnesium alloy internal frame as well as a shock-protected hard drive.
These design specs are also found in the ThinkPad Z60t, which also provides arrow keys that double as multimedia controls there are no hardware media controls on the Latitude D and two drain holes underneath the keyboard to dispel accidental spills.
Dell has made wireless communications a top priority for the D We particularly like its handy Wi-Fi finder feature, which lets you test for nearby Wi-Fi networks by simply sliding a switch on the laptop's left edge. The feature works when you're booted up or powered down, so you don't even have to turn your system on to find a network.
The Latitude D's unremarkable array of ports, jacks, and slots will satisfy standard business connectivity needs. This means means less eyestrain and a much better video experience, whether it is watching movies or basic gaming. The resolution of x makes for crystal clear images at a much lower flicker rate. From the work perspective, the larger screen and higher resolution improve the capacity to have multiple screens open at once and still be able to clearly read each of them.
With a lightweight feel of around 5. The hinges and latch are built for durability and made from steel, giving a reassurance that this is no flimsy device. Dell has also developed what it calls a StrikeZone, being a special shock protected housing for the hard drive to protect it from damage arising from drops and bumps.
For the student this is a great innovation, as living in a backpack can mean a lot of unintended damage from everyday use. Dell understands just how important it is to type on your notebook, including being able to move the mouse and cursor with ease, and they prove this with the D The keyboard is full size; it is firm with a comfortably light key touch that reduces the amount of pressure you must apply to a key to get a result.
There is no flexing of the keyboard and it is ergonomically sound in layout and spacing including the spacing of the body around the keyboard. The D has two options for movability with a pointing stick and touchpad. There are two mouse buttons that have been positioned at the bottom, and have the perfect feel for gamers. This has the effect of lowering the brightness when in a dark room and the opposite when in bright areas.
