Dell Inspiron 6400 Review & Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery
The Dell Inspiron 6400 (also sold as the Inspiron e1505 via Dell Home) is a laptop that meets you. It’s pretty light and portable (like the Inspiron e1405) and offers high performance and great media options (like the Inspiron e1705). Basically, you get the best of both worlds, at a reasonable price. Before we begin reviewing anything, here are the specs of my system:
Build & Design
The Inspiron 6400 feels very sturdy. It doesn’t feel flimsy, and doesn’t look like things are going to get loose anytime soon. Opening and closing of the screen is not too loose or too tight. One hand is sufficient enough to move the screen, provided the notebook itself on a stable surface.
The notebook design itself is slightly above average. The silver paint looks very appealing, but not when combined with the white bumpers. Overall this laptop can’t compare to the XPS series, but its design is good enough to catch some eyes.
Processor & General Performance
If you are a multi-tasker, you will love the Core Duo. For example, You were installing software, playing a video, and chatting on Windows Live Messenger at the same time with no troubles. Start-up time is very quick once you get rid of the annoying stuff Dell includes.
Noise & Heat
For the most part, the laptop is very quiet. When doing normal tasks such as word processing, email and Internet you don’t hear it at all. When doing more intensive tasks or prolonged use, the fan kicks in. This fan isn’t loud, but it isn’t quiet either. It’s not loud enough to bother you though. Heat is a small issue.
Wireless
The Intel Wireless card (Intel Pro Wireless) is very good using my standards. Dropped connections were limited and it was easy to use. You can easily shut it off when you are not using it by pressing Fn + F2. For this card, you can use the software Intel provides or the one Windows has, Windows Zero. I personally prefer Zero because it’s easier to use.
Battery life on the 6400 is very respectable. Under normal tasks (WiFi on, 75% brightness, Windows Media Visualizations), the battery lasted about 3 hours and 15 minutes. With WiFi off, and playing games with low brightness, It was able to get about 3 hours and 34 minutes. This 9-Cell Smart Lithium-Ion Primary Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery has internal circuit board with chips that allow it to communicate with the notebook to monitor battery performance, output voltage and temperature. It also gives the notebook much more accurate ‘fuel gauge’ capability to determine how much battery runtime is left before the next recharge is required. This product has been tested and validated on Dell systems to ensure it will work with your computer and is compatible with Dell Inspiron notebooks.
