Dell Latitude E6400 XFR Touch Screen Laptop

In the touch screen laptop space there is an even more specific sub market for extremely durable laptops. These are for professions in the field that demand physical toughness from their equipment and that includes the laptops with touch recognition displays. The recent release of Dell touch screen laptops last spring was the manufacturer’s attempt to get into this space which is currently occupied by other big name computer makers such as Lenovo and Panasonic.

The Dell Latitude E6400 XFR laptop is built to withstand being dropped, stand up against dust damage and high pressure water sprays. It is targeting an audience of military personnel, emergency response units and other professions of such fields. This touch screen laptop will survive through rain and wind up to 70 miles per hour. The company promises the computer will continue to operate in conditions normally excruciating for most devices and in temperatures from -20 degrees Fahrenheit to as high as 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

The LCD screen is protected from the impact and shock of being dropped as far as four feet or 48 inches when not operational and 36 inches while the machine is on. The design is actually quite genius as the LCD screen is set to float ever so slightly inside the cover to minimize the impact of any drop or shock. The company is offers a 3 year warranty on the product and will replace any cracked screen within those years. The high-end polymer that makes up the exterior case of the laptop is several times stronger and more durable than the typical laptops made of a magnesium alloy material.

For greater protection against water and dust, this highly durable Dell touch screen laptop comes with fixings for the components such as the card reader and USB ports. These fixings are used to seal the openings and protection against the elements of the external environment. It weighs about 8 and a half pounds including the six cell battery. The laptop is built around a 14.1 touch screen display and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This is certainly not a bad option for those who need an ultra mobile ultra durable computing option.
