 Great, Solid MachineDec 25, 2011
By Alexandru Bogdan Georgescu
Pretty great laptop. Had no issue whatsoever with the screen like another reviewer said, worked great since day 1 for half a year now. Also installed linux ubuntu 11.10 on it, works like a charm - the multitouch on the touchpad in ubuntu also runs great (there's a debian package for that). It's strong, powerful, and despite its tank-like build it's not as heavy as you'd expect. A friend has an older model of the series and 5 years later and a cup of coffee on the keyboard and it still works great.

Solid Business MachineOct 10, 2011
By Micah Duchan
Thia is a solid business machine for the money.
Pros:
3 Year Warranty
Built like a tank
I like the rubbery feel of the armrest.
Nice High Resolution screen.
Fast
Long battery life - especially with the 9 cell battery
DELL stands behind their products (might take some time on hold but they have been excellent repsonding to my needs in the past)
Cons:
Touchpad needs to be adjusted in the software for best use - it has many options and I recommend unchecking inertial scrolling.
Slightly heavier - 1/2 pound? - than similar 14 inch laptops - I overlook this due to it's obviously better build quality.
 Decent, but with limitationsMar 19, 2012
By Jeff
I'm working on a degree in Computer Science and needed a laptop with good processing capability. After doing some research on the processors out there (I wanted at least an Intel I5), this laptop looked like a good choice for my price-point criteria. It does have good number crunching capabilities, but when I set up a mysql database on it and ran a database intensive program it maxed out the disk drive access (this is easy to monitor in Ubuntu). When I checked the programs running the database queries, I found they were using only small percentage of available CPU power. In other words, this laptop seems to have some IO limitations that keep it from making full use of the CPU (in some applications).
Outside of the IO bottleneck the laptop does fine. The bezel is a bit wide, making the effective screen space smaller, but the screen resolution is decent. As long as my eyes can make out the smaller fonts it is workable. The built in webcam and microphone work well. I tried training the speech recognition software in Windows 7 using the built in mics and it did OK. Perhaps I can use that later to dictate my dissertation...
All in all, I am fairly pleased with the laptop. I spent some time optimizing the database to see if that will help relieving the disk access limitations. We'll see how that works.

 Garbage at a high priceAug 26, 2011
By Floccinaucinihilipilification
Once again, Dell forsakes quality for .... nothing.
Immediately on receiving the machine, I had problems with:
1. the screen not working properly;
2. fingerprint reader not working and no drivers installed;
3. headphone jack not working in stereo.
After a total of five hours on the line to the incompetent, nonchalant, rude people (who could not understand English) at the call centre, they eventually sent someone round to fix it. The person who arrived had never looked in their database of solutions and appeared not to know much more than me. After three visits and replacement of parts (some twice) Dell eventually agreed to replace the machine, but would not help me move my data across.
Despite Dell's not having a clue about the screen problem, a simple Google search revealed this has been a known issue for more than 5 years! So much for Dell's service database.
As a business-level machine, this Latitude E6420 was not cheap, yet the entire experience was cheap. Dell has chosen to compete using the worst quality parts, cheapest labour and lowest standards of service. Garbage in, garbage out.
The fortunate thing about this experience was that I was testing the machine for a corporate purchase to move all our machines from ThinkPads. We now have a corporate policy that no Dell equipment will be permitted in our office.
I wrote two reviews on Dell's website. Neither was published. Dell is censoring their website to prevent you knowing how bad their products are.
Don't get caught. Avoid Dell's garbage. Buy something else.
