Dell Latitude CPx

Pros: Mobility, power, battery time
Cons: Plugin accessories

Quality is hard to find these days, but Dell has come through with a laptop that fit my budget and my needs nicely. As a student at the University of Texas a laptop is a major aide to my scholastic life. The Dell laptop has proved time and time again...

Pros: hardware, support, features, compatibility
Cons: touchpad sensitivity

I've had one of these CPx's since last September (it's assigned to me by my work). Anyway, it's a great laptop. I've always been a pretty big fan of Dell from a business standpoint (they take care of you); but these Latitudes take the cake.

Pros: solid construction, multiple pointing devices
Cons: large and heavy

The Setup
I have used a Dell Latitude CPx at work for the last couple of months. The machine that I was given to work with was a 650 Mhz model with 256 megs of RAM and an 18 gig hard drive. It was running Windows NT4 and has a Xircom 10/100...

Pros: Fast 3D video; thin; flexible options; large, bright screen; long battery life
Cons: No built-in modem available (even though there's a spot for it); sound could be better

Thin for its class. Bright, clean, large screen. Long battery life. Dual pointing (touch pad and "eraser head"). Great support - both web and phone. Amazing flexibility in configuration. Excellent price.

I finally retired my...

Pros: Lightweight, highly functional, interchangeable drives.
Cons: None come to mind

Were the Borg a reality instead of a product of Gene Roddenberry’s imagination, I suspect I would have been willingly assimilated long ago just to have the latest in computer technology hard-wired into my head. Since that’s not possible, I have...

Pros: dual pointing devices; SpeedStep battery saver
Cons: heavier than some notebooks

I have put my old laptop computer (NEC Versa 4050C) to rest. My new Dell Latitude CPx could take the place of several of those. I'll explain why I love this new notebook PC.

The actual model I purchased is the Dell Latitude CPx J650T. The...

Pros: Powerful, expandable, interchage-able parts, good quality/battery life
Cons: None come to mind

Gorgeous screen, varied options for interchange-able bays (include batteries, hard-drives, floppy, CD, DVD, CDRW, zip, Superdisk, more...).

Accessories are also plentiful and of high-quality. Case is rugged & durable, plentiful...

Pros: Modular CPx line, TV out, price quality tradeoff
Cons: shoddy keyboard, buttons break

Having worked with Dells at my previous employer, I was happy when I found that a Dell Latitude was one of the supported configurations at business school. I tote this sucker around with me everyday and it keeps working.

This model came with...

Pros: Sleek Design, Speedy, Excellent Screen, Ease of use, Excellent Accesories, Great Battery Life.
Cons: Price (hits the $3800 mark), Could be thinner as the IBM T20 or X series (about 4 pencils thick!!)

I have the following specs:

- Latitude CPxJ-650GT model
- Mobile Pentium III-650MHz with Intel Speedstep Techonology
- Integrated ATI Rage Mobility M1 AGP Video, with 8Meg Video RAM
- 256MB RAM option
- Integrated 12GB Hard...

Pros: Large Display, High power
Cons: Weight, poor pointing devices

Being a mobile support tech, I needed to have a top of the line laptop to handle all of my problems. In the past year, I have used 4 different laptops. When I finally got the Cpx, I was in love. There are so many highlights for this laptop with so few...

Pros: Good value for money as a second-hand laptop
Cons: Quite big and heavy, a lot of problems after a couple of years

Hello all,

Continuing my reviews about Dell laptops, I’ve decided to write one about Latitude CPx. A laptop which looks at first glance quite powerful. It is a little bit old, but you might think there is a good value for money as a...

Pros: Dual Pointing Devices, Removable Drives
Cons: Durability

This laptop was handed to me when I started a new job, and in the 13 months I've owned it, I have put a lot of hours of wear and tear on it. First off, while I love that it accommodates both Trackpoint users and Touchpad users, Dell really needs to take...

Pros: Small,compact.
Cons: very slow for a pentium III. CD ROM problems

I bought the Dell Latitude CPX as my first notebook computer and bought a Toshiba within two months to replace it. With a name like Dell you would think this to be a great system. At first I did too but soon found out how slow it was. The new Pentium...

Pros: Lots of memory
Cons: Sloooooow, heavy, poor design

This was the laptop my company provided to me about 8 months ago. While I've had success with Dell's products in the past, this laptop is definitely an under-achiever.

First, its slow. I'm sure this is due in part to the operating system I'm...

Pros: fairly lightweight, good LCD
Cons: hate the keyboard and mouse layout

I absolutely hate the keyboard/mouse positioning and feel. I'm having problems with my battery not charging. Sometimes when I "Restart" with W2K, my machine shuts down instead or rebooting. At times when I reboot, I can't get the machine to...
