The First Review Of Dell Inspiron 6400 Dual Core Notebook

There is no doubt that the Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook dual-core notebook market

has become the focus of early 2006, the promotional price of 8300 yuan, very shocked. Of course, we are most concerned about how their specific performance in the end. Order by ZOL colleagues the opportunity to this 6400, I conducted a comparative evaluation of their order on this notebook has a comprehensive understanding. Well, let's go straight.

Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook based on Intel's NAPA platform, equipped with the latest Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology, mobile computing, wireless and battery enhanced functionality, and 15.4-inch LCD screen, can be more than 15-inch XGA LCD display 30% more content. Overall, this Inspiron 6000 Inspiron 6400 is an upgraded version, the biggest change is in the system performance. Happens, Dell introduced the Inspiron 630m 2005 we also had the corresponding evaluation. Therefore, we will refer to the time of the data, NAPA SONOMA platform and the platform were compared.

From the configuration point of view, Dell Inspiron 6400 in the processor, chipset, integrated graphics chip, hard drive size, memory specifications are strengthened. Results from PCMARK04 terms of CPU, Pentium M740 Core Duo T2300 compared by nearly 50 percent, while the memory and hard drive upgrade is not obvious. However, the game performance tests, we found that the gap between the two is obvious.

In which the 3DMARK03 (resolution 1024x768), Inspiron 6400 1522 score actually achieved good results, close to double the Inspiron 630m, it is surprising. This score is also the author of the dell inspiron 6400 battery notebook integrated graphics seen the highest 3DMARK03 scores (except for ultra-high frequency processor platform). Get such good results, one of the core than the GMA900 GMA950 is the core of evolution, and the second is the dual-channel DDR2 667 memory provides higher memory bandwidth. This allows us to look forward to the next generation platform more, 965GM chipset performance.

As dual-core processor power upgrade to 27 watts, while the power consumption 945GM 915GM 2-3 Wati rose from 7 watts, so, Inspiron 6400 also decreased endurance. In BatteryMark_401 durability test, Inspiron 6400's battery life to 4 hours and 30 minutes, compared with the Inspiron 630m SONOMA platform to shorten an hour, but still acceptable.

In the heat, Inspiron 6400 in the bottom of the pane to open more heat, but also open the keyboard has thermal windows on both sides, while the left and rear of the notebook also has thermal windows open to ensure that the CPU and north bridge cooling . This is why although the upgraded Inspiron 6000 Series Inspiron 6400, but weighs only 2.8Kg reasons, because the whole structure to open more windows to ensure that the heat, so the lighter weight. Specific cooling performance, operating area feel much heat, but bottom of the notebook does at higher temperatures.

Dell Inspiron 6400's shell is still used Arctic Silver with Alpine white design, inlaid with metallic middle DELL LOGO, design models are more beautiful than before engaging. Single sliding screen lock double buckle design, a fixed sound. Border around the screen with the protection of the two, also to move along the screen raised to protect the screen from being scratched keyboard.

Similar with the 630m, Inspiron 6400 keyboard key process longer, more flexibility, it is easy to use. The upper part of the keyboard with power button, concave design, feel good when pressed. The touchpad with a 16:10 widescreen ratio, can control an area of greatly increased, so the positioning is more effort. And its mouse buttons acer aspire one 532h battery are very interesting, the key process is very long, hand-specific. The ideal screen viewing angle, but not with a mirror effect, although Dell offers 1680x800 resolution, high score screen, but I do not recommend, because that will cause the font is too small.

Inspiron 6400 with the multimedia front-end console, in the press when a blue glare, very beautiful, and the keys feel good. The speakers sound loud and clear, with the 630m as well.

Interface, Inspiron 6400 offers a rich interface: the left has a COMBO drive; right with ExpressCard, headphone, microphone, card reader, 2 USB, 1394; back with RJ11, RJ45, 2 USB2.0, S terminal.

It is worth mentioning is the Media Direct shortcut. For the installed Windows Media Center Edition or Dell Media Experience Dell laptop, you can start Media Direct shortcuts to media applications. Just gently press the button, the user can start the computer from any state and start media applications. The Inspiron 6400 comes with Dell Media Experience software, music, pictures, videos, etc. for various operations. However, if you want to install Dell Media Direct function, also need to add $ 200, so this 6400 laptop does not have the Media Direct's in-depth features, with only a quick buttons and multimedia software.

Of course, this Dell laptop also comes with a lot of software, including Norton anti-virus software. Unfortunately, Dell only one partition, multiple partitions if you want to order ahead of time to pay 63 yuan more than the operating costs.
