Dell 6400 Latitude

have been DELL Latitude fans since i work in DELL early 2004. My first test out was DELL Latitude D600, the following DELL notebook was DELL Latitude D800 and DELL Latitude D620. You may wonder why DELL specifically Latitude

I can give you some reasons:

1. The price: it's not too expensive, it's slightly higher than getting a DELL Vostro or DELL Studio. Normally my machine cost is about RM4K - 6K (USD 1.3K - 1.8K)
   
2. The outlook: it's always have cool looking (I'm mention DELL Latitude series, not Inspiron or Vostro). It looks quite elegant with this price.
   
3. The performance: it perform very well, i heavyly use my notebook for programming (.NET, MSSQL, C++), debugging and etc. It still can meet my requirement. My battery can last for 4 hours without charging. This is important for me when meeting customer in cafe and etc.
   
4. The warranty services: this is what i love most but it depend on your warranty that you purchase. I've my next business day warranty service. I call it today, the next day i'll get the warranty parts and the engineer with come to change the part for you without any further questions. Remember to get your warranty service whenever you purchase your notebook. It's important.

Performance
Deciding on the arrangement is fraction of the fun with trading a Dell. I determined the P8600 was at the right summit of the performance-value curve. I'm not into 3D games so I favored the lower power utilization of the Intel GPU. The LED backlit WXGA+ display was a must while the backlit keyboard will most likely appear handy when I'm working somewhere where there's a power cut. The 160GB HDD was the most excellent alternative on Dell's capability/presentation/value curve (I've by now got a 320GB HDD which I'll budge over). 1GB RAM seemed the most excellent pricing choice since I could get 2GB in a different place for the cost of Dell's 1GB upgrade. I opted for the Express Card slot in view of the fact that I could, if required; get an adaptor to be capable to utilize my old PC cards. I required a
