Dell Latitude E4200 Notebook Review
Dell's core-level product - Latitude E Series
The first half of this year, Dell launched its Studio for home consumption of products, there is no doubt that it's deteriorating home Dell regain the market share. It seems Michael Dell's back at it clearly have an immediate effect, but only by virtue of a Studio Series PC sales boss wanted to regain the position is not enough.
Although Maikedaier back mainly due to regain their lost ground on the home consumer market, but Dell has never given up the commercial market. Dell introduced this year for enterprise customers Latitude E series business notebook, it also caused the emergence of market fluctuations is not small.
Dell Latitude E series has been available for some time, I believe that many users this series of products have been more familiar with this recently we received a series of 12-inch Latitude E4200 notebook, as one of Dell's core products, the Dell Latitude E4200 will how to use my experience of it? Here let us feel together.
Suit Gelv Latitude E4200
From the Dell website, we can understand, Latitude E series is divided into the following six models in total:
E5500/E6500--15 inch screen
E5400/E6400--14 inch screen
E4300 - 13 inch screen
E4200 - 12 inch screen
From the above model, we can also see the naming of this series, the second number represents the size of the screen. The 14-inch and 15-inch products from each of the two models, E6X00 series with magnesium alloy casing and richer interfaces, E5X00 is the low end, which uses a plastic body and details compared to the E6X00 series are also some differences.
In addition to a little low-end E5500 and E5400, Latitude E Series Other products are used magnesium alloy material of the body. We see this Dell Latitude E4200's body with a black design, stable appearance does reflect strong business atmosphere.
Latitude E4200 body cap with a metal wire drawing process, Dell's LOGO in the top cover of the side. Different from the traditional LOGO Dell, Latitude E4200 the "DELL" logo is not surrounded by a circle, so that instead of giving a simple and refined design sense.
The machine standard 12-inch screen resolution of 1280 x 800, because the screen uses LED backlight technology, so the screen has been very thin, which reduces the overall thickness of the body, and the LED has lower power consumption, can effectively improve the battery life.
Latitude E4200 features a full metal screen shaft design, and a very good grasp of damping, the user can with one hand on the screen. We see the key to open at the bottom of Latitude E4200 is equipped with a light sensor, when the sensor is turned on, the user can use the brightness of the light environment, adjust the screen brightness in real time, so user-friendly design in other notebook we have are rare.
Also in the top left of the keyboard has a "Dell Latitude ON" button, when in the case of this button after shutdown, Latitude E4200 can not start the Windows operating system in case of realization of e-mail and manage logs and other operations. This feature helps users to quickly deal with e-mail messages, it and the Asus Express Gate is very similar in form.
The keyboard and simple disassembly
Although this machine uses a 12-inch mold, but the small size of the body did not affect the operation of the keyboard feel. This machine keycap relatively large area, and the key process is also very modest, press down very comfortable. Also the Fn key is also placed in the right Ctrl key, to meet most of the consumer habits. The overall design of the keyboard is very compact, there is no wasted space. And the recently popular netbooks compared to this machine's keyboard does feel a lot stronger.
Small size of the body and the machine did not give this left too much room for shortcuts, so we look at this machine's keyboard shortcuts are very small, and more places are occupied by the status indicator, Latitude E4200 status indicator located just above the keyboard, when the corresponding function is activated, the blue indicator light will be issued.
This machine features a full magnesium alloy body material, and palm rest part is no exception, metal palm rest can be better heat transfer within the body out. In addition, we see that the right palm rest comes with a fingerprint reader, which can enhance the added security of the system.
Latitude E4200 touchpad area is relatively small, accustomed to large-size notebook users just starting to use it may not adapt to. But this machine touchpad keys feel very soft, according to them is very comfortable, not like some of the notebook's touchpad keys pressed will be issued as blunt clicks.
In the right side of the screen near the axis of this machine we can see the power and charge indicator, the user can very easily understand the screen when the lid is closed the machine running. And at the back of the battery power indicator also allows users to understand the power in case of shutdown status.
The Latitude E4200 uses a solid-state hard drive, we know that compared to traditional mechanical hard drives, solid state disk transfer rate on the stability and have a distinct advantage. Users can choose the Dell official website of the ordinary solid-state drive or 128GB plus 730 yuan to get high-speed 64GB solid state hard drive.
Latitude E4200 uses the latest generation of memory, 1GB DDR3, from the figure we can see that it is in the form of onboard integrated on the motherboard, this machine also comes with a memory slot for users to upgrade to use.
Interface and body weight
The machine interface is very complete, and its basically meet the user's daily use. In fact, the layout of the interface is a machine
DELL Latitude E4200 battery designed to test the reasonableness of the important aspects of the layout of the interface from the right side of the fuselage, we can see, network interface arranged in the last side, such a long cable can be easily thrown In the back of the fuselage, will not cause any impact on the user's.
Another USB port is also placed in a rearward position, we are usually on the right of the USB interface to connect a mouse, if the USB interface arranged in the front position of the body, then the mouse to highlight the user to operate the mouse USB connector will inconvenience, so the right side of the USB interface is the best place in the final choice.
As is usually the video connection will be relatively long, so the Latitude E4200 VGA interface design to the left in a rearward position is also a very wise choice. Next to the E-SATA interface compatible with USB, so the body a total of two USB ports, while small but basic enough.
Within the body with a sloping front design, although such a machine designed to make people feel more light, but also placed above the interface destined to be difficult. And most of the rear fuselage area occupied by the battery, the only thing left out of space equipped with power connector and notebook lock.
Light is the biggest advantage of this machine, so I do not introduce more, I believe that the results from the weight that you can understand the weight of this machine. LED backlit screen and magnesium aluminum alloy body is the key to the formation of this machine is light, plus the weight of the adapter and only 1.574kg, whether you go to where, Latitude E4200 will not be your burden.
Machine configuration and processor tests
In the configuration, this machine
DELL P238F battery uses the Intel Centrino 2 platform, with 45-nanometer Intel SU9300 ultra low voltage processor, the other equipped with high-speed 64GB SSD and 1GB DDR3 generation of memory. Although far from such a configuration tough, but in the light notebook can be considered very good.
As we mentioned before, this machine is a random standard 128GB solid state drive, but this time we received the Latitude E4200 is a high-speed 64GB hard drive. From the HD Tach test shots, we can see, the average reading of 102.3MB / s, so the performance compared to traditional notebook hard drive twice around.
Although the obvious benefits of solid-state hard drive, but we believe that its high price and smaller size so that it does not formed in a short time spread. However, the law of the development from the flash memory, solid state hard drive capacity also will be increased geometrically, it is believed that in the near future, want to have a mainstream price points and with a high-capacity solid-state hard drive is not difficult on a laptop.
Cooling and endurance tests
This machine is configured with a 58Wh lithium ion battery, in order to simulate the real use of the environment, in the endurance test VISTA before we became a power management mode of regulation "has a balance." After BatteryMark software testing, we can see the end of 6 hours, 37 minutes have been very satisfactory, mainly due to ultra-low voltage Intel processor and LED backlit screen, caused by low power consumption. In addition, we measured the sending machine is 6-cell battery, while the standard 4-cell battery life will vary slightly.
Summary
The standard version of the Dell Latitude E4200 is priced at 16,499 yuan, and if coupled with high-speed 6-cell battery and 64GB hard drive, then the price is as high as 18,258 yuan. This
DELL Y085C battery price is obviously unacceptable to the average consumer, but its solid materials and excellent workmanship or design demonstrated excellent ability to Dell. The Latitude E4200 Dell Latitude E series reflects the overall design style, while the cheapest products in this series only six thousand dollars, if you are interested in this series of products, you can go look at the Dell website.
