| steve45's Full Review: Dell Latitude™ C400 PC Notebook |
I've used a laptops for more than seven years. This was furnished by my employer and I hate it.
External floppy and CD drives are a nuisance. The display is not as clear as my 7-year-old Gateway. The touchpad won't scroll automatically if you hold your finger on it, you have to continue to tap it. Double clicking the touchpad is difficult, as there is no adjustment on how hard you tap it. Tap too hard and it doesn't respond. The three-prong power adapter is very difficult to unplug from a wall. USB 1.1 is unacceptable for a laptop purchased new in January, 2004. BIOS configuration prevents me from being able to use certain keyboard shortcuts, very annoying.
On the plus side, the battery life is very good.
