The Dell Latitude C610 laptop / notebook is a great choice for budget-minded mobile business traveler who need quick access to important spreadsheets and word processing documents. Weighing just 5.73 pounds, the Dell Latitude C610 still packs a 14.1-inch LCD screen and a 1.2 GHz Pentium III processor into its compact chassis, ensuring that most applications run efficiently. The Latitude C610’s 256 MB of standard memory and 20 GB hard drive are fairly minimal in today’s computing climate, but are more than enough to handle most business tasks. Plus, users can expand the memory up to 1 GB to handle more sophisticated graphics software or video games, or to keep the computer humming smoothly when running several applications at once.
Adding to the Dell Latitude C610 value is an integrated DVD/CD-ROM drive, which functions either as a portable DVD player (8x read speed) or CD player (16x read speed) player, depending on your needs. Should users need to transfer or back up data, they can swap the drive for the included floppy drive (only one drive can be used at a time).
Business professionals will appreciate the 15-pin VGA monitor connection and S-video port, which make it easy to connect either to a larger external monitor or a TV for video presentations. Even without the larger screens, however, both DVDs and graphics applications still look sharp thanks to the notebook’s 14.1-inch LCD display–which offers 1,024 x 768 resolution–and the ATI Mobility Radeon M6P graphics card (with 16 MB video memory). Audio-wise, the notebook boasts an integrated Cirrus Logic CS4205 sound card and built-in speakers, along with a microphone input and a headphone/speaker jack for connecting to external units.
Though the Dell Latitude C610 supports 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless networking (with a Type IIIA Mini PCI card slot), it doesn’t come with a wireless card, so you’ll need to purchase one separately to enjoy this feature. The remainder of the time, you can connect to the Internet via the built-in 56k modem, or join an integrated 10/100 Ethernet network to share info directly with other computers.
Peripheral connections stem from the USB 1.1 port (ideal for connecting to PDAs, MP3 players, printers, and more), the 9-pin serial port, the parallel port, and the PS/2 port (for an external keyboard or mouse). The unit also offers two PC card slots compatible with two Type I and Type II cards, in addition to a Type III card. Finally, the computer comes with a preinstalled Windows 2000 operating system.
The Dell Latitude C610, which measures 12.6 by 1.46 by 10 inches (W x H x D), has been tested thoroughly and is in excellent working condition. It’s also backed by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.
