Harp new design; tons of business-friendly features; highly configurable; excellent battery.
Merely average performance; somewhat heavy.
A total revamp of Dell's ubiquitous business laptop line, the Latitude E6400 offers Intel's latest Centrino 2 mobile platform and introduces a brushed-metal design that works at home or office, but the real highlight here is the long battery life.
The new E series is a stark departure from the familiar Latitude look, trading the tapered gray lid for a sharply squared-off design with an industrial brushed metal surface. The result is a much more modern feel, and it fits in with the usage model of a work laptop being your main machine and frequently traveling from home to office to cafe-the E6400 still has a professional look but can also fit in with high-end designer consumer laptops.
