Dell Latitude E4300 maintains thin and light status quo

摘要

Dell's thin-and-light Latitude E4300 is a passable workhorse system for road warriors with general-purpose computing needs.rnThe E4300's keyboard is squeezed into a 12.3-inch-by-8.6-inch case, making for a cramped typing experience. In addition, the laptop comesrnwith just two USB ports, -one of which doubles for an eSATA connection. Taken as a whole, the E4300 is a decent system for midrange users, but it doesn't set any new standards for its class.rnThe E4300 that I tested came from Dell with plenty of memory and notable-but not exceptional-hardware components. As tested, my system costs $2,519, including a three-year warranty. A basic E4300 can be purchased for $1,686.
