Jerky typing feel ; Moderate contrast and stability of the angle of the screen

The Dell Latitude E4300 had a maximum noise emission of 39.2 dB(A) under heavy CPU usage. In this case, the cooler was clearly audible. However, when the laptop is being used for everyday purposes, such as running multiple necessary processes and a few...

Excellent keyboard and trackpad ; Good selection of device and expansion ports

Thin, tinny sound from built-in speakers ; Battery sticks out from back of chassis

The E4300 is a solid business or general-purpose laptop with some sweet extra touches.

Above average build quality, lightweight ; Best keyboard and useful touchpad features ; Extremely long battery life

Subpar speaker ; Twitchy touchpad ; High priced upgrades

Tests with no power savings were more intense for the notebook. No power savings features were enabled, Windows 7 Aero was running and the power profile was set to 'High Performance,' the LCD backlight was set to 100%, and we watced the DVD movies the...

We can't help but compare the Dell Latitude E4300 to another business-oriented, 13-inch ultraportable, the Lenovo ThinkPad X300, as well as its update, the ThinkPad X301. Like the Latitude E4300, the X300 and X301 are both ultra-thin, use SSDs, and...

Small, but nice quality display ; Sturdy build, and strong hinges ; Fast Processor, and decent amount of RAM stock ; Nice keyboard feel and layout ; Loaded with Win 7 premium ; Unbelievable battery life ; Card reader built in

Very little video memory, slow on processing graphics

Solid build (mostly, see cons) ; Good stock components ; Excellent keyboard and touchpad layout (Thinkpad-esque) ; Can hardly tell that it's a refurb

Screen bezel seems a bit weak, and there's a "loose" screw-in panel on the bottom that seems to be held in place by stickers. I'd also prefer if the screen snapped into place when closed, rather than just being kept in place by its hinges
