Durable Case and Network Activity Light, as well as optional touchscreen and keyboard with antimicrobial protection.
Choice of rubberized colors, as well as optional carrying handle and personalization with custom inserts.
Core fundamentals of the Latitude family, including remote systems management, long lifecycles, managed transitions, and a broad range of service and support offerings.
- Rubberized coating on LCD cover and back of laptop ensure excellent grip.
- well-placed hard drive, power, WIFI activity lights on the front edge of the notebook
- LED screen is very bright and crisp. The LCD brightness has 15 levels!
- very cheap upgrade to the touchscreen
- with my large hands I find the keyboard is a decent size, keys are responsive and laid out very well
- Very light netbook, I know some people were saying it was one of the heavy ones but I think it’s a great trade off to have something built well with quality construction than to have a cheapo plastic light netbook.
- 3 USB ports especially for a small laptop!
- gigabit LAN
- bluetooth & wireless N options
- very customizable Latitude Dell BIOS
- this dell Latitude laptop runs MUCH faster with Windows 7 than XP! Going to hibernation and resuming and rebooting is very very fast and perky. Support for the touchscreen is much better in Windows 7 and it is very responsive.
CONS
- double-tapping support for the touchscreen is very flaky with Windows XP
- so far, no obvious way to turn off the “network activity light” on the LCD cover. This is very bright at night and uses dell F079N battery power. There should be an option in the BIOS to disable or at least a switch on the mainboard. A BIOS update to version A01 didn’t give any option either.
- Dell isn’t offering a free upgrade to Windows 7! This is practically Dell’s newest addition to the Latitude series and there’s no deal? Hopefull this changes
- A little bit tedious to change RAM and hard drive: 6 screws to remove on the back, keyboard then must be pushed out and unplugged, another 3 screws from the top to release the back panel. It would be nice just to have little access doors. I guess this was done to prevent easy tinkering since this was designed primarily for school use http://www.cheap-laptop-batteries.com/laptop-battery/asus-eee-pc-series.html – Only upgradable to 2GB total RAM. I was surprised that I couldn’t put a $40 2GB DIMM in the expansion slot to make 3GB total. How hard would it have been to have a chipset that supports 3GB of RAM? But not TOO big a deal since Windows 7 runs very fast on 2GB. And I don’t think most people would be using big applications on these 2100s anyways.
- I was surprised there was a fan in this laptop, though I rarely hear it I assumed that there would be no moving parts and noise (with a SSD drive). I did research and the N270 CPU does run hotter then it’s sister Z530 which is put in the Inspiron Minis–but–it is a higher performance CPU
- A back-lit keyboard would’ve been nice. Since this is considered a “netbook” people will be using it in hotels, on the couch in relative darkness and sometimes it’s hard to find the F-keys or function keys. Maybe instead the useless network activity light and extremely bright 3 volume buttons and caps lock indicator lights we could of had a back-lit keyboard option.
