Packing a standard dual-core Intel setup, the Dell Latitude E6410 battery specs are what you'd expect of a modern business laptop. Our particular setup came with a Core i5-520M; that CPU is no longer an option on Dell's site, though you can still find it in the FastTrack C2 version. (Our unit is closer to the FastTrack C4A, as it includes the LCD panel upgrade.) If you custom configure the E6410, you can choose between the i3-380M (2.53GHz but no Turbo), i5-460M (2.53GHz base with 2.80GHz Turbo), i5-560M (2.66GHz base with 3.2GHz Turbo), or the top-end i7-640M (2.80GHz base and 3.46GHz Turbo). Given the cost of most upgrades, typical users will be fine with the i3-380M or i5-460M. Mix in the standard options on most of the other components and you have a laptop that should perform well in most tasks that don't need a better GPU than Intel's HD Graphics.

The Dell Latitude E6410's keyboard isn’t bad either, a traditional rather than Scrabble-tile type, feeling reasonably solid with little in the way of centre flex. It’s backlit too, with only a little white-light bleed from between the tessellated keys.
Dell integrates two input options as a mobile mouse replacement right away. For one thing, you'll find a touchpad that distinguishes itself by its especially gliding-eager surface and a very good response. For another, the Latitude also has a TrackStick, which allows navigating without readjusting and thus has a clear advantage in certain applications.
However, the TrackStick didn't completely convince us in practical use. The TrackStick's texture can't keep the finger from slipping off, which makes the aforementioned readjusting necessary here. The not quite convincing responsiveness is likely due to that, too.
The quibbles we have with the Latitude E6410 are minor. We would like to see a larger touch pad and better speakers, but that’s about it. Companies looking for a laptop platform to standardize on for years to come will find the E6410 has it all.
The new Dell Latitude E6410 battery still maintains high level of durability chassis and enclosure. The laptop is protected by Tri-Metal casing that undergo several crash tests. It also features a free-fall sensor on the motherboard that protects your system against accidental drops and it works even when the system is off.
Like other Latitudes, this one is made of a trifecta of metals: magensium alloy casing, steel reinformcements on the interior chassis, and zinc-reinforced hinges. It also adds a backlit keyboard and colored lids (red and blue are the fun options; black, the safe one) for a dash of style.
A SmartCard reader is included, however, and this lets you access your data via a SmartCard system, should your workplace support one.
Protection for your data is well taken care of in terms of the hardware. The laptop features a metal-strengthened chassis and has achieved the military-grade MIL STD 810G standard. This makes it suitable for use in a broad variety of extreme environments and climates.
As with most of Dell's business machines, the E6410 has both a pointer and a trackpad. The pointer is pleasingly responsive. Although the trackpad is small, its smooth surface feels just right under your finger. But the trackpad buttons are set too far into the chassis for our liking -- your thumb tends to rub against the edge of the laptop when you press them.
Overall, the E6410 is very similar to the E6400 and uses what Dell calls “tri-metal” construction. There was not much to improve on the E6400’s design and the visible changes are relatively small. The top of the front edge of the E6410’s palm rest is slightly bevelled and a rim around the SD card slot results in a card in the slot sitting flush with the surface (suggestion to Dell: Provide an SD to micro-SD adaptor instead of the plastic filler). The display bezel has acquired two small rubber bumpers in the top corners, a very small bumper on the left side of the latch and there are two new bumpers behind the keyboard to support the bottom of the display when closed. Hopefully, these will prevent the cosmetic damage that occurred on the E6400 when the display bezel rubbed on the keyboard surround during transport. A less visible change is that the base of the E6410 contains larger air vents than provided on the Dell Latitude E6400 battery.
One thing we do have to note is that the entry-level model priced at $699 is a bit of a joke, shipping with a 160GB hard drive and only 1GB DDR3 memory. The cost to upgrade to 2x2GB DDR3 is a rather exorbitant $145, and most of the other upgrades are very expensive as well. If you get a good sale, things might be better, but count on a reasonable build costing around $900 to $1000 minimum. The one upgrade we do like is the 1440x900 LCD; sure, contrast ratio isn't great, but at least we're not stuck with a 16:9 768p glossy panel. As a whole, the C4A FastTrack (i5-540M, WXGA+, Quadro NVS 3100, 4GB DDR3, and 250GB HDD) is a good blend of performance and features, currently going for $1279, but as we mentioned we're running an IGP-only setup so we have a bit of a special case.
On the E6410, the display retains the conventional 16:10 ratio widescreen. Resolution options are similar to that of the E6400 - 1280x800 and 1440x900. However, the E6510 switches to a 16:9 ratio 15.6" widescreen. Three resolutions are available, a typical 1366x768 one, a HD+ 1600x900, and even a Full HD 1920x1080 panel. All panels on both panels are anti-glare (say no to glossy!), have LED backlighting. Display is driven either by the integrated graphics on the processor, or a discrete NVIDIA NVS 3100M 512MB solution.
Dell Latitude E6410 is a solid business laptop and its price starts at around $929 until $2048. Finally, if you are looking for a classic business laptop, look no further than this Latitude.
With their emphasis on stability, inter-compatibility, global support and business-class control, Latitude E-Family laptops can help save IT time and money within your organization.
As to the port design, Dell Latitude E6410 provides 3 USB2.0 ports and a eSATA/USB2.0 combo port，which can be equal to 4 USB ports. Meanwhile, the eSATA port can fully meet business people’s demand of high speed data transmission. Besides, Dell Latitude E6410 also has a HDMI port which facilitates job and entertainment greatly.

Dell Latitude E6410 is Dell’s top of the line 14.1” business laptop. It’s design remains largely identical to the E6400 with the same magnesium alloy body but it has been updated with the latest components including Intel Core i7 and LED displays. As usual Dell offers a range of options to suit the buyer’s needs, from high performance parts such as solid state drives, high capacity (9 cell) batteries, and up to 8GB of memory, to basic options such as standard hard disk drives and Core i5 processors, the Latitude E6410 battery is suitable for basic business needs and power users looking for a portable desktop replacement.
The extensive individualization options in many areas are definitely a great advantage of the Latitude E6410. This starts with the looks (interchangeable cover) over the hardware component configuration (CPU; GPU, HDD/SSD, RAM) and the communication modules (HSPA, WiMax, etc), up to the numerous available battery solutions. All of this has its price, but allows the option of an uniquely, ideally adapted device with everyday business qualities.
