5.0 out of 5 stars Solid system, truly portable, November 14, 2009

I've owned my Dell Latitude E6400 for about six months now, and have been working with it almost daily -- running a bunch of web development and graphics editing software. Have not had any issues with this laptop that would make me regret buying it, overall -- very positive experience. The performance is solid, I had Win XP Pro on it, and now upgraded to Win 7 Pro, and it runs like a charm! The battery life is very good (I have a 9-cell battery) -- the longeste I've kept the laptop running non-stop is 4 hours, and never needed to plug back in; the screen size (14") is a good balance for travel and working in comfort. The built-in wireless adapted sometimes needs to be restarted (there is a switch on the side -- turn it on and off to restart the wireless, not a big deal at all), but I only noticed that this needs to be done after the system comes out of hibernation. I bought this laptop with a deep discount (it was refurbished by Dell), had some reservations at the time of purchase, but am a very happy camper now -- no worries!

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally backlit keyboard, August 25, 2009

This is pretty much configuartion that I got and performance is pretty good with this laptop.
Lighted keyaboard had an impact on decission when I decided to buy this laptop and it is really nice and usefull feature that I was looking some time for it.

Pros:
- Very stable, no reboots and doesn't get frozen even when moving/shaking it
- Good metal construction --> no flexing
- Good set of connection slots for perrifferrals
- Backlit keyboard
- Very bright screen but not the best color rendering
- e-SATA external connector
- Internal Intel wireless 5300 AGN WiFi card is excellent

Cons:
- LCD display is somewhat washed out although very bright
- It gets very hot even just browsing internet after relatively brief period. Poor ventilation.
- Somewhat heavy for its size
- Average battery life (little bit over 3hr of usage when just browsing internet via WiFi with standard battery)
- Proprietary HDMI connector (need to buy separate pigtail adapter)

I have it almost for a year now and no crashes or some issues or glitches so far.
Overall very good business laptop.

I used this computer for 3 years without issue. However, the 4th year, the harddrive crashed, the power cord stopped charging, and it freezes over anything. It is good for gaming though!!
