A powerful, flexible, sturdy and well designed portable all-rounder, the Dell Latitude E6400's design and functionality caters very well to the needs of a wide range of users, be they relatively undemanding users who want something practical and long lasting, to power users that need to multitask extensively while on the move. Throw in a pleasing but serious aesthetic design and it becomes very easy to recommend. Read full review

Nice video review but can it really be as great as you say it is? Are there no negatives at all?. Ive been looking at this laptop for a while now and its a choice between this or the dell precision m2400, has anyone got any thoughts on which is best?

I had many laptop in my hands but hard to say anything really bad about E6400. I got it a few weeks ago with 9 cell battery, slice battery, Vista 64bit and basically everything you can get from Dell. I still like more D630 where a 9 cell battery is in the front and works well as a palm rest for me. Slice battery is a great idea but it adds weight of course and make the whole laptop really thick - you can forget about putting it in 14" sleeve. I had some problems with the finger print reader and preboot authentication and had to disable it because I have seen a few times a blue screen in Vista. I haven't tried it again after latest bios update tho. The last think but not so important are built-in speakers I think they could install something more power.

This laptop is almost perfect. but i really dissappointed with the review published here for its accuracy. The laptop does not support MS/ MS Pro media. I bought the laptop after reading the review here.

Would you please consider adding an additional performance test to your laptop testing? I think it would be useful to list the measured temperature on the underside of each laptop (at 50% load) to gauge whether or not the laptop would actually be cool enough to rest on the lap - let's call it the "crotch comfort factor". It seems that no laptop reviewers do this sort of test today, but surely a major point of a "laptop" should be that you can work with it for long periods of time resting on your lap without having to have a fan cooler in between!

I got this laptop 6 monts ago, and I still miss my old one. Beside the keyboard - superb in every aspects - there's not much shining here. The touchpad and stick are extermely difficult to use. The speed is on par with what one can expect, same for the display. It is quiet most of the time, running outlook & word on windows XP at least. It is more heavy than advertised (mine is 2,5kg). The design is really nothing special. The main issue comes from wifi reception. While my fujitsu, old dell and macbook show excellent signal strenght, the e6400 is getting a low to very low signal, and suffers from frequent disconnect.
