The X1 laptop is the perfect widescreen lightweight and powerful compact laptop for the business traveler
The Dell Latitude D420 is the sleek predecessor of the D410
and the X1. This feather-light machine weighs a mere 3
pounds and crams everything into a neat chassis. Despite
the fact that the D420 is a 12.1" ultra-portable, Dell has
succeeded in squeezing in a full-sized keyboard that is a
blessing to use. One other thing that makes the D420 stand
out in a crowd is its ability to stay cool, yet be whisper
quiet.
