Dell Latitude D400

Latitude™ D-Family of products, the

new D400 provides full D-Family

commonality, consistency, and

compatibility in our thinnest and

lightest D-Family system yet.

of the new Latitude D-Family

technologies or innovative common

docking and module solutions either.

Dell Latitude notebooks offer mobile

computing solutions designed to be

customized for business and the

Latitude D400 is no exception.

The Latitude D400 is designed for users who need a thin and light system but who aren’t willing to compromise on
performance. Even with its thin and light 1.68kg

design, the D400 doesn’t skimp on performance, offering the ideal

blend of power and efficiency using Intel

M processors and the Intel 855GM integrated video chipset.

Connectivity is also a priority with the D400, which includes standard Intel Centrino™ Mobile Technology featuring the
Intel PRO/Wireless MiniPCI card or customers can choose optional Dell TrueMobile™ wireless solutions.

Intuitive form factors and design

The Latitude D400 makes a great impression with its slim design, which is only 33mm thin. The system’s hard disk drive
is internal, with optical media used externally in the included Dell D/Bay, so you can carry media modules only when
they might be needed. The D/Bay also uses the same modular optical media solutions as the other Latitude D-Family
systems. The D400’s magnesium alloy chassis and display back look great and help provide structural rigidity.

Docking solutions

The Latitude’s ingenious D-Family docking solutions allow you to view your system at a whole new level. The Latitude
D/View notebook stand elevates the notebook’s LCD to a comfortable viewing position, replacing the need for an
external display and offering the convenience of an all-in-one desktop solution. Enjoy the versatility of the D-Family
docking solutions with a choice of either the Latitude D/Port Advanced Port Replicator or the D/Dock Expansion Station.

Every Dell Latitude D400 features a wireless networking mini-PCI card, 56K

High performance with Intel Pentium M Processor and Intel 855GM chipset

The Dell Latitude D400 features the latest Intel Pentium M processors, which utilise a new micro-architecture
incorporating a power-optimised 400MHz processor system bus and aggressive clock gating designed for high
performance and low power. These processors also feature 1MB of power-managed cache and enhanced Intel
SpeedStep technology. The D400 also incorporates the Intel 855GM chipset, which offers integrated graphics capability
and USB 2.0 support. The integrated graphics utilise the system memory as a shared resource for both system memory
and graphics needs, dynamically allocating a portion of the memory to graphics based on the graphics demands of the
applications currently in use. Up to 64MB of memory can be allocated to graphics, and with integrated video
acceleration, you can view high-quality, full frame rate DVDs on your notebook or connected external display with
exceptionally low power consumption.

Integrated smart card security for a worry-free mobile experience

While today’s notebook computers offer unprecedented power, their mobility also brings new vulnerabilities, such as
unauthorised user access. The Latitude D400 confronts this problem with an integrated smart card reader. Used in
combination with applicable software, smart cards provide a robust solution to user authentication.
