This product does not emit light of its own, so the standard review format will not be used and the product will not be assigned a rating. This website is mostly about light-emitting products, but occasionally, you'll see non-light emitting products on it too if it's something I use regularly and/or really like (this computer meets both of those criteria!). It *DOES* have several LEDs in it, so it's at least a bit germane to the theme of this website.

The Dell Latitude E6400 is designed to be used as a laptop computer (and I should say not exactly an "el-cheapo" model either!), not as flashlight meant to be carried around, thrashed, trashed, and abused; so I won't try to drown it in the cistern (toliet tank), bash it against a steel rod or against the concrete floor of a carport, let my mother's big dog's ghost, her kitty cats, my kitty cat, or my sister's kitty cat spring a leak (uranate) all over it, run over it with a 450lb Quickie Pulse 6 motorised wheelchair, stomp on it, use a medium or large ball peen hammer in order to bash it open to check it for candiosity, fire it from the cannoņata, drop it down the top of Mt. Erupto (I guess I've been watching the TV program "Viva Piņata" too much again - candiosity is usually checked with a laser-type device on a platform with a large readout (located at Piņata Central {aka. "Party Central"}), with a handheld wand that Langston Lickatoad uses, or with a pack-of-cards-sized device that Fergy Fudgehog uses; the cannoņata (also located at Piņata Central) is only used to shoot piņatas to piņata parties away from picturesque Piņata Island, and Mt. Erupto is an active volcano on Piņata Island), send it to the Daystrom Institute for additional analyses, or perform other indecencies on it that a flashlight might have to have performed on it. So this section of the web page will be ***SIGNIFICANTLY*** more bare than this section of the web page on a page about a flashlight.
In fact, those photographs & screen dumps of this computer's desktop on this web page and the spectrographic analyses located directly below may very well be it.
