Dell Latitude E4300 Review

The Dell Latitude E4300 is Dell’s most powerful ultraportable machine released to date.  This 13.3″ notebook is powered by low voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processors and boasts an incredible battery life and does not seem to be slow. Dell Latitude E4300 Specifications: Intel Core 2 Duo SP9600 (2.53GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB) 13.3″ LED WXGA LCD Screen (1280×800) 1GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM 80GB 7200RPM HDD Intel X4500MHD video card Backlit Keyboard Measured Weight: ~ 3.7lbs The Latitude E4300 starts at $1,349, which is fairly average for an ultraportable business machine.  However, we all know that the extra options and features always cost more – this notebook as configured will set you back by a staggering $2,054. Reviewers normally expect vertical viewing angles to be quite poor on notebook displays (because of the type of LCD technology they use).  The E4300 defined a new level of poor.  When viewing the screen from above colors quickly wash out and become unreadable, and when viewing the screen from below the screen fades away ever so quickly. Horizontal viewing angles were fortunately fairly good.  Viewing the screen from almost any position to the left and right of the notebook still produced a very readable display even though colors would start to wash out. Thanks NotebokReview for hard work!
