Expert Review

Coming to the keyboard, it's responsive and well laid; the feel is tactile and zippy. Navigation is handled by a responsive pointer stick and a touch pad. The volume control switch and a mute button form the audio controls. The built-in speakers at the edge of the notebook are pretty basic and loud enough for a laptop PC.

The exhaust vents at the back drive all the hot air out, keeping things cool inside. As far as the build quality is concerned, the D800 is made of a blend of aluminum, magnesium alloy and steel. Measuring 1.5" x 14.2" x 10.9", the D800 weighs about 3.5 Kg.

The Dell Latitude D800 comes preloaded with a licensed copy of Windows XP professional. Apart from the OS, you get the recovery CD and the drivers disk.
