Welcome to a Laptop AC Adapter specialist of the Dell Ac Adapter
The Dell Latitude E6420 offers an impressive array of options from discrete graphics and backlit keyboard to multitouch display and a 256GB SSD. Just be prepared to pay for all of the best options if you want a real powerhouse.
The Dell Latitude E6420 is a good-performing 14-inch business notebook with stellar build quality and a lot of neat options. Users can configure the notebook to have a multitouch display, a fast Intel quad-core processor, discrete-class (higher-end) graphics, up to 4GB of memory, and a 256GB capacity solid state drive.
The Dell Latitude E6420 with adapters like Dell Latitude D600 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude XT AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 6000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1501 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron E1505 AC Adapter, Dell inspiron 6400 AC Adapter, Dell studio 17 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude X300 AC Adapter, Dell Latitude LS AC Adapter, Dell Latitude X1 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 2000 AC Adapter, Dell Inspiron 1526 AC Adapter is encased in Dell's business-rugged, MIL-STD 810G-tested Tri-Metal casing just like the E6420's little sister, the Latitude E6320. The "tri-metal" comes from a anodized aluminum display lid, reinforced steel in the hinges, and magnesium alloy in the chassis and frame. The notebook also has a zinc alloy latch, a spill resistant keyboard, and an LCD seal to help prevent scratches and bumps.
All of that extra metal and thought the designers put into its construction indeed makes it very durable. When we pressed down on the chassis and around the palm rest, it didn't budge. When we bent the lid of the display around the thick screen bezel, it did budge just a bit - but it was barely noticeable, and wasn't noticeable enough to create any ripples across the display. The reinforced steel hinges are also very sturdy; we don't suppose they'll give users any problems whatsoever. The Dell Latitude E6420 is very durable for its class.
The notebook is a looker, too - it appears very professional and stylish. It has smooth matte surfaces brushed with what Dell calls a "360 bumper" for extra protection against scratches. When we tried to scratch the surface, it chipped away a little bit, but no scratch marks showed up. The lid looks pretty neat, too; with Dell's signature logo across the middle.
The E6420 can be upgraded slightly. After removing seven screws, you can remove the base cover and gain access to the hard drive, memory, Bluetooth card, and network cards. It can be upgraded with up to 8GB of memory. We mentioned in our Latitude E6320 review that the screws were particularly hard to remove; they weren't as difficult to remove in the E6420.
Our Dell Latitude review unit has an "extended battery," meaning it's of a higher capacity than most notebook batteries and will last longer while you're away from a power outlet. Our unit has a 9-cell 97Wh extended battery. During our battery life test, we select the Windows 7 "Balanced" power profile, turn the screen brightness down to 70%, turn wireless on, and refresh a text-heavy web page every 60 seconds. The Dell Latitude E6420 lasted 8 hours and 45 minutes, which is a good result for a notebook of its class.
The Dell Latitude E6420 is a great choice for business professionals. The notebook's build features a durable "business rugged" design with MIL-STD 810G-tested "Tri-Metal" casing. This basically means it'll withstand the everyday scratches and bumps, as well as the occasional drop (as long as it's a drop and not a fall). The notebook performs well, and we found that even with the Intel HD graphics, it can play 1080p HD video and multitask very well. It also has excellent audio performance that is without distortion, even at its maximum level - external speakers will not be required.
The E6420 is available with an array of options. It can be configured with a discrete-class graphics, a backlit keyboard for use in darkly lit areas, a multitouch display, a quad-core i7 CPU, and a 256GB SSD. All of these options, however, bump the price up a lot. All in all, we found that there wasn't much wrong with the Latitude E6420. If Dell had included a higher-res display and brought the price down by a few hundred, it would have gotten five stars from us.
