Dell Latitude E6400 or E6500 Black
Many
faculty members select
the laptop for its portability,
allowing them to use their
own computer for classroom
and conference presentations.
The
Dell Latitude E6400 or E6500
are our current recommended
laptop computers. Select the E6400 if you want a lighter computer, and are willing to have a smaller 14" screen. The E6500 has a larger 15" screen, but weighs more. |
