DELL Latitude E6400 Notebook Intel Core 2 Duo P8400(2.26GHz) 14" 4GB Memory 160GB HDD DVDRW DELL Latitude E6400 Notebook Intel Core 2 Duo P8400(2.26GHz) 14" 4GB Memory 160GB HDD DVDRW

Pros: The little good I can attribute this laptop to.
Arrived in a timely manner, was affordable for the quality.

Cons: Within a little over 120 days, the fifth month of use, I'm completely frustrated with this laptop.

Obviously whatever heating/motherboard failure this laptop originally suffered from was not properly repaired, as a hard wipe was required to even boot it.

Every month I had to hard wipe it, due to horribly slow speeds and system errors, and this week has been the absolute worst.

I generally apply anti-virus and built-in browser ad-blockers to prevent outsider issues to affect my machines, but when I can't even open a folder, access the task manager for troubleshooting, or even open NOTEPAD of all things without the laptop freezing indefinitely, there is something CLEARLY wrong with what I've received.

Other Thoughts: It has an antiquated look, but the specs are above average for the price it came at. The issues I've experienced I can only attribute to the model being "refurbished."

Pros: - Worked perfectly with Linux Mint
- Very good condition; not brand-new, but still very nice considering it's a refurb
- Great build quality, comparable if not better than the Thinkpads I'm used to

Cons: - Battery not in the best shape, seems to only last about 30 minutes or so

Other Thoughts: I've used Thinkpads for many years, and bought this laptop for my wife and needed something high quality on a budget price. I was pleasantly surprised, as I had had no previous experience with Dell laptops. Their E-series Latitude line seems to be at least as good as Lenovo's current Thinkpads in build quality and features, while having better aesthetics. There aren't many other laptops with the Trackpoints, and these have it. Best of all, as a Linux user I had zero problems installing Linux Mint on this.

While many others have complained about their purchases here, maybe I got lucky but my laptop arrived in very good (though still used) condition, with very little obvious wear and tear, and the only problem I've encountered is that the battery won't hold a full charge, but I guess this is to be expected with a refurb as batteries are expensive and do wear down with time.

Pros: small and good list of features/specs. Newegg saved the day in the end with their customer service.

Cons: I just sent my second defective one back. These are beat up and don't appear to be new in any way. they are rebuilt guts in old cases and not in any way refurbished to like new condition like a "factory reconditioned" item would be. If you have a NEED for a laptop, then don't take a chance and buy something new.

Other Thoughts: These are not rebuilt by Dell. Newegg won't give you the company who does rebuild them without you signing some agreement and consent to release your information to them. Dell definitely won't service them and if you buy the extended replacement warranty, you cannot use that until the 90 manufacture warranty is up... That is when I called and asked for a refund and spent another couple hundred on a new lappy by a different manufacture.

Pros: For a refurb this thing had no visable marks from previous use.

Cons: The battery that came with it is a dud. It only lasts about 30 mins from a full charge.

Other Thoughts: When buying a refurb product somtimes you roll the dice but in this case I feel I came out ahead in spite of the battery as I will use it plugged in 99% of the time.

Pros: NONE

Cons: The first one sent kept glitching and we sent it in for a replacement and the replacement is WORSE! It glitches and will NOT hold a Charge! What a waste of MONEY! I could have burned the money and been ahead. Worst part is replacement is not eligible for refund or replacement.Unacceptable!!!

Other Thoughts: Not happy!

Pros: Product works

Cons: After only having the product for 2 weeks, the battery needs to be replaced error message keeps coming on.

Pros: Lightweight, sturdy, great keyboard, plenty fast.

Cons: screen size a little small

Other Thoughts: I know this laptop well because its the exact same model we use at work. I bought one for my 14 year old daughter. Its her first laptop so I figured it was a great buy. I just love how light and sturdy this laptop is. Ive owned the inspiron which is fine but after using it at work ive really come to appreciate this model. Pound for pound this is a fantastic price for such a workhorse machine. I know my company paid way more than 269 for the ones they got!

Pros: ~Best bang for your buck.
~The mic on it is decent.
~Windows 7 with 4gb ram.
~Battery life is almost like new.

Cons: ~They could of cleaned the computer a lot better (keyboard & speakers were dirty).
~No webcam.
~I was short changed on the CPU. Details said it would have a P8400 but instead I got a p8600.
~The weight is not 4.3 pounds.

Other Thoughts: This is my first review I have typed on newegg. I would still recommend this but alert yourself to what you are paying for & or receiving after shipping. The big bummer is being short changed on the CPU & how dirty the left the computer. Also, I would like to point out there is how loosely they used the term "refurbished."

Pros: The actual quality and model of the laptop is awesome and reliable. I have dealt with lots of these in the business world.

Cons: -The latch hook was Broken off
-There where no rubber feet or rubber stoppers on the monitor left on the laptop.
-The keyboard and speakers were dirty.

Overall Whoever refurbished the laptop did a bad job and are not working to the standards that newegg should expect.

I sent back the laptop expecting a replacement and by the time the RMA was approved they had ran out of stock and instead gave me a refund. This purchase kind of turned me off on refurbished systems.

Other Thoughts: I would like to note that this is the first bad review I have ever written on newegg. I would still recommend this model laptop but you never know what you are getting with refurbished stuff.

Pros: cheap. It's refurbished so I was prepared to accept it to be like a used device.

Cons: After so many tries, I could not make the DVD drive work.
