Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop Review Some days ago, I bought a new dell inspiron 9400 laptop,so I have a Deeper understanding for it. Good: Excellent overall performance and competent gaming performance,Complete set of multimedia controls and connections,Quality speakers,Runs Windows XP Media Center,Features doublelayer DVD burner ,powerful inspiron 9400 battery. Bad: Lacks integrated TV tuner, though a PC Card tuner is available . Features A minor but appreciated upgrade from the Inspiron 9300 model is the Inspiron 9400's inclusion of Dell's MediaDirect software, the its battery have a similar feature as dell inspiron 6000 battery ,they fit code is dell D5318 , U4873 , G5266 , C5447 battery . laptop have which plays CDs and DVDs and lets you access photos and other media files stored on your hard drive without booting up Windows first. The two speakers and the internal subwoofer -- a rare feature among laptops -- deliver crisp and rich sound. Better yet, because the speakers sit in the corners of the laptop's front edge, your hands won't muffle them while you're typing and you can play music with the lid closed. Sandwiched between the speakers, a row of seven buttons lets you control disc playback and adjust or mute the volume. However, the Inspiron 9400 lacks an integrated TV tuner found on more expensive systems, such as the Toshiba Qosmio G20 and the Fujitsu LifeBook N6210.
Our Inspiron 9400 test unit had a bright, vast, 17-inch widescreen display with a superfine WUXGA 1,900 x 1,200-pixel native resolution. Though we experienced no problems with our unit's display, we've observed many user complaints about other recent Dell models' screens. There's no dearth of ports, jacks, or slots here: The Inspiron 9400 offers FireWire, S-Video out, VGA, a whopping six USB 2.0 ports, 56Kbps modem, 10/100 Ethernet, headphone and microphone jacks. Also available are Type II PC Card and Secure Digital slots and a swank DVI port should you want to connect the laptop to an even bigger digital LCD. There's also a five-in-one media card reader, a key feature that the Inspiron 9300 lacked. Last, but definitely not least, the Inspiron 9400 includes a multiformat double-layer DVD drive ,4400mAh, dell 9400 battery (Dell c5447 , G5266 , D5318 , U4873 ). Performance Like all of Dell's laptops, the Inspiron 9400 is extremely configurable. Our loaded, test configuration was equipped with a new Intel Core Duo T2500 (2.0GHz) processor; 1GB of DDR2 667MHz SDRAM; an 80GB, 5,400rpm hard drive; Nvidia's high-end GeForce Go 7800 GPU with 256MB of dedicated video memory; and a nine-cell laptop battery . One of the first Core Duo systems we've tested, the Dell Inspiron 9400 did not disappoint. Using a collection of multithreaded and singlethreaded multimedia applications, we tested the Inspiron 9400 to determine
how well it handled multimedia workloads, such as ripping MP3 and encoding video. Generally speaking, the Inspiron 9400 delivered roughly a 25 per cent performance boost compared with a Pentium 4-fueled test system, the Acer Aspire 3000 battery , and its performance was approximately 50 percent faster than that of a ThinkPad Z60t equipped with Intel's previous generation 2.0GHz Pentium M processor. Overall,the inspiron 9400 laptop is not bad,simple and convenient to use,and have good performance. http://laptopsbattery.us/blog/dellinspiron-9400-laptop-review/
