A reasonable compact laptop, with a limited memory and storage, just right for a schoolkid like my nephew to take his work to and from school. nice and light weight.It does the job efficienly, no frills.

If anyone out there is considering purchasing a product from midwest notebooks , consider this. They are dealing with products that other people are getting rid of. I bought a dell notebook from them and within a couple of weeks I had to send it back because it kept crashing. They failed to return the disc and pamphlet that originally came with it. I told them about it and they totally ignored me. If they were local Iwould have no trouble finding a place to store it.Think twice about buying from them . I know I never will and i'm telling everyone else about them.

The Dell C640 may be an older model yet it is surprisingly adroit with Windows XP SP3 running 512MB of RAM. The Dell physical specs include a screen with a large LCD screen, two mouse options (eraser button mouse-stick and trackpad), the front LCD clasp is held with one button (a bit stiff on several tested, should help to keep closed however). The front bays are dual purpose media (right) or battery (right and left). Two used battery packs provided a comfortable 5 1/2 hours of light internet usage. There is a MiniPCI expansion port underneath with prewired antennae that route unseen through the LCD lid casing. Lacking a card I simply used a Belkin PCMCIA / PCCard adapter with excellent results. The keyboard was another unexpected treat with quiet but firm action.
The Intel Pentium 4-M processor can use SpeedStep and other power saving techniques. When running off the battery it will drop down to a lower speed rating. When docked or back on AC power it kicks back up to the full speed. While in idle mode it barely seemed to sip the battery. This Latitude was made for business class use and thus sports a docking station connector which is a great investment if only to relieve the stress of repeated AC adapter plug-ins at home. The AC adapter from Dell uses a keyed beveled connector that looks engineered to reduce such AC plug issues that plague all laptops. The laptop is a nice black with some attempt to put a few minimal curving lines, since it was meant to appeal to a staid business environment you can expect a primarily blocky look common to PC laptops. The large medallion like silver Dell logo on the lid cover looks nice. A good solid laptop.
