13.3-inch Dell Latitude E4300 Standard Review
September this year, Dell introduced a new generation Latitude notebooks for mobile
professionals the freedom to bring a new mobile commerce world, it is in the design, performance, appearance and other aspects of achieving a major breakthrough. May say in general terms, but this generation of Latitude E-Family notebooks in life are indeed a great leap forward, with LED LCD screen, full magnesium alloy casing, and the small size version as well as black, red, blue and more of options. Perhaps the consumer notebook we pay more attention to the surface of the effort, but in the commercial notebook endurance and performance of these fixed target or a very dazzling.
Coincidentally, I got the last time when Dell D630 just listed, feel very pleasant surprise, to get in the E series, and feel better than many previous generation, regardless of the technology with more effective competitors than anyone else, However, vertical, Dell the upgrade from the D series E series has indeed been reborn as the evolution of.
Power endurance breakthrough
According to the information previously a Dell, an authoritative media for Dell to do a test to prove that the maximum life of its Latitude E6400 notebook to 19 hours. In addition to this record, we last tested a E6400, with a 9-cell battery, 9300M GS graphics card, 7200 rpm hard drive, 2GB memory, we tested the LED LCD screen when transferred to the dark, turn off the wireless, or even shut down the network interface, the maximum life Battery Mark test, reached 7 hours and 30 minutes.
We hand E4300, a 6-cell battery, GMA4500 integrated graphics, 13.3-inch LCD screen, 7200 rpm hard drive, 2GB memory, also reached the 7 hours 30 minutes of usage time. It is noteworthy that this result is to achieve 6-cell battery, and E6400 9-cell battery is achieved, E4300's battery life is obvious.
In the power saving, Dell can save electricity in many ways, such as reducing audio volume, using simple system interface, lowering the screen refresh rate, tune into 16bit color, reduce the LCD brightness, reduce safety equipment, 1394, card reader power device, close the drive. Through these, Dell can significantly save power consumption,
In addition, Dell Latitude ON is also developing a technology, this new technology uses a dedicated low-voltage ARM processor and Linux operating systems, allowing users almost instant access to e-mail, calendar, without having to start the computer's main operating system ( OS), just click the button to Microsoft Exchange data, so that the battery life of up to several days. But we do not think this is a setting for everyone to receive, which involves operating habits of the problem, but this feature is optional.
Complex security
As E-series style, the Dell Latitude E4300 has a fingerprint reader, Smart Card controller, full-disk encryption technology, very comprehensive and complex, can be multi-factor authentication.
Ah data protection, E4300 can choose solid-state hard drive, and this is with a common 7200 RPM hard drive, Samsung HM161JJ, performance good, but the larger shock, at the hand on the wrist rest can obviously feel.
Robustness is concerned, the use of magnesium alloy cover, very strong, although looks thin, but to cover a lot of pressure would not have put a little water ripples. To maintain its long-lasting paint finishes and robust metal shaft also. Obviously, Latitude E4300 is a solid and secure a laptop, how comfortable it.
Keyboard screen
This notebook should come with a full-size keyboard in, and we found the keyboard and screen on both sides of the border are free in a reasonable range, is a very successful design, both percussion and visual comfort experience. In addition, E4300 bottom of the keyboard keys with LED backlight, user-friendly in low-light environments.
Play with the TrackPoint pointing device and touchpad, pointing stick is very convenient, accurate positioning from the uneven impact of the desktop, you can quickly and accurately locate the laptop. Sorry, I did not find the keyboard lock, of course, visual Dell, the BIOS can be set to full, but after a bit trickier.
The screen, which uses a LED backlit LCD screen, high brightness, and relatively uniform, with the E6400 as a striking expression. The screen frame is straight, simple, and beautiful contrast of the screen. The speaker in the notebook front, no longer a single channel, and as the habit of commercial notebook, did not mark the brand, the sound quality in general, of course, this is not the emphasis of this notebook.
Performance
This notebook uses a strong SP9400 processor, the frequency reached 2.4GHz, with 6MB L2 cache, 1066MHz FSB, 45-nanometer manufacturing process, the performance is very satisfactory. SP logo only shows the thermal design power is only 25W, and that its use of a small size package, the volume of only 22 22mm. This processor is also used in Apple's Macbook Air and the ThinkPad X301 notebook
DELL Latitude E4300 battery on notebook is ideal for thin and light notebook.
This sub-item from PCMARK05 can clearly see, the processor, memory, hard drives have a high score, and although the integrated graphics, but because of a dual-channel DDR3 1066 memory, so we see the highest 3DMRAK05 GMA 4500M Series score reached 950 points or so, although this is still not enough to play 3D games, but at least this small addition alone was outside the whole system strong.
Children, this notebook's hard drive Samsung HM161JJ, 7200 transfer, 16MB cache, powerful performance, the average transfer rate of 62.3MB / s, than 5400 products increased by 25%.
Interface layout
This notebook has a 2 USB 2.0, IEEE1394, VGA, E-SATA, RJ-45, card reader, ExpressCard 34, headphone, microphone, smart card slot, docking connector, seemingly rich, but only two USB ports one, limiting the expansion of digital applications. But the more reasonable is that, in their notebook
DELL Latitude E4400 battery and power interface card back, because these two things in the notebook side is quite a lot of trouble, saying out of sight for quiet. The E-SATA interface is more practical, convenient high-speed transmission hard disk data.
More features, Dell Latitude E4300 USB device charging can give, we can set in the BIOS, the battery stops at 25% power, or 50%, or 75%, very user friendly.
Summary
Dell's Latitude E series is a new business notebook series, followed before the Latitude D-family. For this E4300, my view is that both performance and portability of the notebook, and on the robustness of management and computer also has a unique place. Like other business notebooks, E4300 has a wealth of services to protect their data security, and with Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo launched the difference is the color version (for example, red blue).
All along, I think 13 is a very good wide choice can be CD-ROM, high-speed hard drives are installed into the system, and 12 wide-screen to do this is difficult, given the high price of ThinkPad X301, and in addition to advertising publicity than the Latitude E4300 does not have very obvious advantages, E4300 is undoubtedly very attractive thin and light business notebook.
