Dell rolls out its latest Latitude notebook, the E4310 ultra portable with a sleek look and a thin, light design. The E4310 is a 13.3-inch laptop powered by Intel’s Core I5-540M 2.53GHz or i5-520M 2.4GHz processors, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory and onboard Intel HD graphics.

 

The Latitude E4310 gets up to a 7200RPM 500GB hard drive or 256GB SSD and a DVD burner )Blu-ray available as option). It supports WiFi, optional Bluetooth and can be equipped with optional EVDO+HSPA+AGPS mobile broadband module. Other features include 7-in-1 card reader, ExpressCard 34 slot, 2 Megapixel camera, Smart Card Reader, Fingerprint reader, and eSATA/USB combo port.

 

That's not to say it's ill-equipped. On its US site, Dell says it'll be stuffing the E4310 battery with a choice of Intel Core i5 CPUs, up to 4GB of DDR3 1,066MHz SDRAM, a choice of mechanical or solid-state hard drives, plus a Blu-ray option -- though we can't imagine many city-dwelling office types taking advantage of that last one.

 

More useful is the addition of a SIM-card slot, which allows you to connect to the Web almost anywhere, and an integrated GPS module, which lets you take advantage of location-based services or navigate between meetings using the magic of satellites.

 

Released Dell Latitude E4310, E5410, E5510 powered with intel Core i5, i7. The 14.1-inch Dell Latitude E5410 and 15.6-inch Dell Latitude E5510 feature the Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs or the new Intel Celeron P4500, all with dual cores, up to 320GB hard drive or up to 128GB solid state storage, up to 8GB RAM, Intel HD graphics, a DVD burner or Blu-ray drive, and Windows 7, Vista, or Ubuntu Linux OS.

 

Like always, we started out by testing its main hardware component, the central processing unit (or CPU in short). We were happy with what we found: an Intel Core i5 540 M processor running at a good speed of 2.53 GHz, on an L2 cache of 3 MB. This helped it perform extremely well in all our tests and it passed our most resource intensive tests without encountering any problems or errors. For its great performance, agility, and versatility, in our Dell Latitude E4310 review, the notebook receives 10 out of 10 points. We were very happy with how it performed!

 

The Dell Latitude e4310 is a full- featured Ultraportable notebook, the latest addition to the Dell Latitude E-Family of notebooks. The Dell Latitude E4310 ultraportable has a memory of 8GB with a storage capacity of up to 500GB, 250GB or 256GB. This Thin, Light & Sophisticated 13.3″ Laptop is suitable for the executive or for those who are frequently on the move.

 

Being the eagle-eyed scouts that we are, we already alerted you to the new 13.3-inch Latitude E4310 and its fine looking product page, but Dell's putting all of its cards on the table today with pricing and availability. Starting at $1,149, the new 1.1-inch thick, corporate-looking laptop will be available later this month with Core i5 CPUs as well as your choice of SSD and hard drive options. That's above the $1,000 threshold, but we're told that's because of its durable tri-metal build and backlit keyboard, both of which sound delightfully delightful. We're curious to see the machine in person, but if you aren't into those extras, Dell's got you covered with its 13.3-inch Latitude E5410 and 14.6-inch E5510, which start at $759 and $789, respectively. While these two aren't the trimmest of the bunch at over 4.5 pounds, they can be configured with Core i3 or i5 processors, DDR3 RAM, and up to 320GB 7,200rpm hard drives. Not a bad bunch of options for the briefcase, but take sometime to peruse the press shots below and the PR after the break before you bust out the plastic.

 

The Latitude e4310 has undergone rigorous durability testing and thanks to the Dell Tri-Metal case and Reinforced LED display, this notebook is designed to last. Mobile business users will appreciate the small form factor, 3.4 pound starting weight and mobile broadband options for anywhere connectivity. Users can also rest easy knowing that the notebook is equipped with a free-fall sensor to lock the hard drive and Dell StrikeZone shock absorbers to protect your data in the event of a fall.

 

And if you think the E4310 is too expensive, Dell also launched a lower-cost Latitude E5410 and E5510, for small businesses and startups. Cheaper still, for classrooms and government establishments, is an updated version of Dell's business netbook: The Latitude 2110.

 

The Latitude E4300 enclosure is approximately the same size as the Dell Latitude E4310 battery it replaces, though there are some changes (it's slightly wider and shorter) because of the move from a 13.3-inch 16:10 display to a 13.3-inch 16:9 display. This LED-backlit display is 1366 x 768, yielding a resolution of approximately 118 dpi. Along with the previously released Latitude E6410 and E6510, the E4310 has a new brushed aluminum ("Slate Silver") cover. The E4310 uses the same power supplies and docking solutions that the E4300 used.

 

The Latitude product palette by Dell includes a whole series of different model groups, all designed for professional use. On offer are diverse formats, beginning with the 10 inch Netbook, up to the high performance 15 inch platform. Approximately in the middle of this series lies the Latitude E4310 battery, which essentially represents the fusion between performance and mobility with its 13 inch display. Especially "management and frequent travelers" should be keen on this notebook, at least according to an advertising slogan on the Dell homepage.

 

The included features such as a speedy Intel Core i5 CPU, and comprehensive communication options, as well as several security features, have to be paid for: from 1249 Euros excluding VAT and postage and packing, although this does include three years of on-site service on the following work day.

 

Overall, although the Dell Latitude E4310 is a fairly speedy machine, the big and boxy design and shortish battery life are disappointing, especially when you take into account the high asking price.
