Dell Latitude E6320

Dell Latitude E6320

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery

The Dell Latitude E6320 is a 13.3-inch business notebook with Dell's "Tri-Metal" build and a second-generation Intel Core i7 dual-core processor. Dell states that the combination of the E6320's lightweight design, build quality, and good life battery such as dell 1G222 battery, dell BAT3151L8 battery, dell Latitude X300 battery, dell W0465 battery, dell Inspiron 2000 battery, dell Latitude LS battery, dell 2834T battery, dell 4834T battery, dell Inspiron 1520 battery, dell Inspiron 1521 battery, Dell Inspiron 1720 battery, dell Latitude D610 battery, dell 312-0068 battery make this a travel-friendly choice for business professionals; we'll put that to the test in this review.

The Dell Latitude E6320 is built with what Dell calls Tri-Metal casing (MIL-STD 810G by military standards), a support structure that's considered business-rugged. In other words, it should give you the protection you need while traveling or from mishaps that can occur at work (such as a coffee spill). It's made up of anodized aluminum in the display, a hard powder-coated base, reinforced magnesium alloy wrapped around the corners, and reinforced steel hinges. It also has a spill-resistant keyboard, protective LCD seal known as a "360-degree bumper" overlay for added screen protection. Dell states that the notebook protects against extreme high and low temperatures, vibrations, dust, and high altitudes. At the time of this writing, Dell also includes a 3-year limited on-site service at no extra cost.

The notebook is as solid as Dell suggests. The palm rest doesn't flex at all, even under heavy pressure. When I pressed down hard on the keyboard, it flexed somewhat, but not considerably. The aluminum in the display back is also solid and ripples didn't appear on the screen when the corners were bent inward; however, they do appear if you press anywhere on the screen bezel below the display. This is a sturdy notebook, especially since you can purchase it for as low as $970.

Style-wise, it's very professional without looking bland. The entire notebook is dark gray or soft black, and there are neat orange accents across the keyboard. The activity lights are placed on the left side of the notebook and the Latitude line name is carved in metal below the keys.

The Latitude E6320 is about average when it comes to upgrading as far as business notebooks go. After removing some particuarly hard to remove screws, you can open the base cover to access the memory, wireless network card, and hard drive. The hard drive is protected by four additonal screws you'll have to remove if you want to get to it. The notebook can hold up to 8GB of RAM.

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 E6320 lasted 6 hours, 33 minutes during the test. This length of time is very good by business notebook standards.

The Dell Latitude E6320 is a solid office choice. Its main talking point is its durable construction that can protect against some liquid spills on the keyboard, extreme temperatures, vibrations (hard drive protection), dust, and high altitudes. The screen hinges, display, and chassis are all strong, too - they're made out of Dell's "Tri-Metal" support structure that's been MIL-STD 810G approved. Other than its construction, it proved to be able to multi-task well, run 1080p video just fine, and it was also very fast to boot up and in application execution. Moreover, it provided a good 6 and a half hours of battery life, which will definitely make working while traveling doable.

The areas in which it lacked were its screen display, port selection, and hard drive performance. The display has both a low resolution and contrast, leaving the viewer underwhelmed while using it. We would have also liked to see more than only two USB 2.0 ports - users shouldn't have to buy a Dell docking station to plug all of their accessories and gadgets into the notebook.
