Dell Latitude 2120 Full Review

 Once just a consumer's gadget, netbooks have found a market in the business world as well as among educators. Today we look at Dell's offering, the Latitude 2120 featuring a 10-inch display and eight hours of battery life.
Our Dell Latitude 2120 review unit has the following specifications:
  • 10.1-inch display with anti-glare coating (1024x600 resolution)
  • Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
  • Intel Atom N550 dual-core processor (2.0GHz, 512k cache, 533MHz FSB)
  • Integrated Intel GMA 3150 graphics
  • 2GB DDR2 RAM
  • 250GB 5400RPM Western Digital hard drive (WD2500BEVT)
  • Dell Wireless 1520 802.11n wireless LAN
  • No internal Bluetooth
  • No internal optical drive
  • 6-cell extended battery (11.1V, 56Wh)
  • 1-year limited warranty
  • Weight: 3.1 lbs.
  • Dimensions: 10.43 x 0.89-1.57 x 7.36 inches
  • MSRP: $608 (starting price: $414)
These are rank-and-file specifications for a modern netbook. The dual-core Atom processor is notable as the base 2120 comes with a single-core Atom N455; the N550 is significantly more powerful. The MSRP of $608 is well on the high side; typically netbooks go for $400-500. We'll see if the Latitude 2120 is worth extra.
