1 2 91 minutes battery life in battery eater is rather disappointing, considering that dell quoted a 19 hour all day battery life.
i want one ! have you seen how cool these look in blue !
The good: http://www.laptoppicker.com/archives/dell-ergo-monitor-stand.jpg
I ordered mine 8/14 and hope to receive it soon.
Dell quotes up to 9 hrs with just the 9 cell.
91 min. at first sounds disappointing but
1.The test was with and lcd screen not LED.
(LED on the brightest uses less power than lcd on lowest)
2. playing a video off the HD would increase battery life.
3. The processor Pxxx (higher spec) uses less power than Txxx
of course I would use a power saving mode (disable bluetooth, wi-fi) while playing a movie to optimize battery life.
I'm sure it can get 4hrs of video if configured right.
The good: LED screen. thinner and less power USB powershare e-sata back lit keybaord centrino 2 GPS from the "MBB card" after registry edit(without paying monthly) Contactless SC reader(I can use my key fob from work)
The bad: ???
The 19 hour battery life is if you include a 12 cell battery slice, don't assume out of the box you will get 19 hours...
So far, I have to give this PC a bad review. I bought it new, and the motherboard died in less than 2 minutes of use. Hopefully this is not a problem across the board.
The good: Good looking.
The bad: Almost DOA
I have a question. I am considering purchasing the E6500 and wonder is it really just 5.2 lbs (2.3kg) or does it turn out to be heavier upon arrival?
Although a good laptop and a very nice , sharp and bright screen the battery life is a major dissapointment. During my normal use (browsing, Outlook and Visual Studio) I only get 2,5 hours. No wifi or bluetooth enabled.
The good: sharp and bright screen, sturdy.
The bad: Poor battery life
Hate this laptop! I had an older Latitude Model with no problems. THis one has been "possessed" -- settings change for no reason -- I have spent more time troubleshooting this than using it. So sorry I bought this.
The good: None
The bad: Too many to mention ....
Dell Latitude E6500 Battery
85 Wh 9 cell battery USD119.99

Any better choice?
The good: Good function and run well
The bad: short battery life
