that this energy-saving option will slightly reduce the performance

Calendar August 31, 2010 | Posted by admin

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.

That said, our 720p test clip “The Magic of Flight” (from Microsoft’s HD Content Showcase) looked sharp and played very smoothly. The audio system couldn’t do justice to the visuals, though. The built-in speakers, embedded in the lower part of the chassis, sounded tinny, producing weak middle and bass tones.

Instead, all player and volume controls are relegated to key combinations within the function-key group. Backlighting for the keyboard is a $25 option; we couldn’t evaluate how it looked, though, as it was not included on our review machine.

On 3DMark06, which measures 3D-graphics ability, the T410s scored 2,133 at 1,024×768 resolution and 1,750 at its native 1,440×900 resolution. Those numbers top the T410 (which also had integrated graphics) but fall well short of the IdeaPad Y460 (which scored 8,266 at 1,024×768) and the EliteBook (4,167).

Setting SHE to Power Saving mode (and performing less demanding tasks than the continuous wireless video streaming we did) pushed the battery life to 4:16 on our test.

Do note, however, that this energy-saving option will slightly reduce the performance. We suggest using the SHE option only HP Compaq 6510B Battery when you really need to eke out as much life as possible.

There’s also a preinstalled copy of Microsoft Office 2010. It’s not a demo version. Rather, you can purchase or enter a product key to utilize the full product, or choose the free HP Compaq 6515b Battery, advertising-supported Office Starter 2010.

Which includes stripped-down versions of Word 2010 and Excel 2010. You likely won’t use or appreciate all these applications, but aside HP Compaq 6510B Battery from the 60-day trial, we wouldn’t ding them as bloatware.

Toshiba also offers 24/7 toll-free telephone support, as well as online support through the Web site—also pretty standard for the industry. The site also offers software drivers and answers to common questions, which is fine but nothing overly comprehensive.
