With a budget ceiling of about $1200, I narrowed my choices down to the following: the Dell Latitude X1 or the Latitude D420. Having been less than satisfied with a thin-and-light, I decided my next notebook would have to be an ultra-portable, preferably weighing no more than 3 lbs. When given the opportunity for an upgrade, my next purchase was heavily influenced by this oppressive experience with the DV1000. While the DV1000 itself was relatively compact and portable, the extra weight from its accompanying AC adapter as well as a messenger bag resulted in a burdensome carry-weight of at least 10 lbs a manageable sum, but nevertheless a tiresome burden at the end of the day. In this review the main author is David Dobolyi, comments by Andrew Baxter who owns the precisely same configured D420 are in blue.Īfter having carried around an HP DV1000 over the course of a semester at college, I realized that while a 14.1″ notebook weighing 5.4 lbs may be described as a thin-and-light, it certainly doesn’t feel so light over the course of a long day of classes.

Battery: 6-Cell Primary (with ExpressCharge) and 65W AC Adapter.

Input: Full size keyboard with touchpad and pointing stick.

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

Optical: D-Bay 24X CD-RW/DVD Combo (External).

Hard Drive: 60GB 4200RPM 1.8″ Hard Drive.

Memory: 1.5GB, DDR2-533 SDRAM, (512MB Integrated) 2 DIMMs.

Graphics: Intel GMA 950 (Integrated, up to 224MB shared).

Processor: Intel Core Solo U1300 ULV (1.06GHz, 533MHz).

Finally, rather than using a standard 2.5″ notebook hard drive like the D410, the D420 uses the same 1.8″ drive as the Latitude X1. Moreover, while the D410 offered standard Intel Pentium M processors operating at up to 2.00GHz, the D420 upgrades from the X1’s ultra-low voltage Pentium M 1.1 GHz to an ultra-low voltage Core Solo 1.06GHz or Core Duo 1.2GHz CPU For instance, while the D410’s starting weight was approximately 3.8 lbs, the 3.0 lbs D420 is positioned more closely to the X1’s 2.5 lbs feather-light physique.

In practice, the D420 has far more in common with the X1 than its direct predecessor, the D410.

In addition, the D420 continues Dell’s trend of not including an internal optical drive, although external options are once again available. Specifically, the D420 adopts the X1’s wide-aspect screen and ultra-low voltage processor while maintaining the D410’s aesthetic appeal and full-sized keyboard. In an effort to simplify its ultramobile product line, Dell has merged several traits from each of these two retired models to create the new D420. The Dell Latitude D420 is a 12.1″ ultra-portable notebook designed to succeed both the Latitude X1 and the Latitude D410.
