Dell Latitude E6420 ATG It is a fundamental change in how Dell manages its business notebooks semi-hardened. ATG older models were essentially nothing more than the standard Dell Latitude laptops with a different cover with a few other bits and MIL SPEC tests. The E6420 ATG, on the other hand, has a unique chassis design, made generous amounts of magnesium alloy, rubber seals include data ports and a spill-resistant keyboard backlit with drain hole. The ATG E6420 ATG is the first Dell comparable or better than MIL-STD-810G and standards IP5x vibration, humidity, altitude, dust, shock, high temperatures and low temperatures. In short, the E6420 ATG semi-rugged laptop a serious step against the older models that were essentially glorified business notebooks only.
Open the lid of the E6420 ATG shows the matte black and silver top metal plate and durable spill-resistant keyboard with LED backlight. Dell has decided to cut the keyboard with an orange band, both for asthetics and to help highlight the keyboard in low light. The keyboard keys are covered with a rubberized paint to help them withstand more use and abuse in the area. It is also interesting to note that this is the first ATG series of laptops have optional carrying handle is screwed into the front of the laptop and the touch screen. Who needs a laptop bag when you have aa laptop that looks and feels like a brick of magnesium?
The chassis of the Latitude E6420 ATG is very well built and is resistant to bending in the usual places when pressure is applied. I noticed a bit of flex in the right palm rest, but that is expected from the optical drive bay is located directly below this area. With the laptop closed, the cover display above shows the average screen protection and should prevent any keyboard imprint on the LCD, even if a child goes over the top of the screen. To this end, the light, an adult would probably be on this laptop without causing any damage (although I do not recommend). With the open book that was unable to produce any ripples or distortion on the screen, even when "punching" on the back of the screen. Again, you need a laptop bag?
Users looking to upgrade parts or personnel looking to replace components Latitude E6420 ATG is a sort of mixed bag in terms of service. Expansion options are easily accessible by car modular bay (later) and the hard drive bay. You can remove the hard drive (or SSD) by removing four screws at the bottom of the laptop and pulling the reader to one side. To upgrade RAM, or wireless cards, you must remove the cover the entire base of the laptop by removing seven screws with the port covers that are secured by six screws more. My advice is to configure the laptop you want at the time of purchase unless you want to spend time with a screwdriver.
Ports and Features
Latitude E6420 ATG offers a choice of ports rather strange for a current generation of phones. You get three USB 2.0 ports and one port USB-2.0/eSATA additional VGA and HDMI, Ethernet / LAN, ExpressCard expansion slot and even a smart card reader for added security. The obvious deficiency here is the USB 3.0 ... and it seems strange that Dell does not cover it until you learn more about the modular drive. The optical drive in the E6420 ATG can be removed and replaced with your choice of an extra battery, a second hard drive, or "module" USB 3.0 ports. There is also an "E-Legacy Extender," which adds serial, parallel and PS / 2 support for companies that are connected to the old "legacy" hardware. If you do not care a reader optical ports or more, you can insert the "travel module" module to reduce weight. All descriptions below are listed from left to right.
