Amazon.com Product Description

While Dell's Latitude line is aimed at larger corporate markets, this is the line you want to look at if you're a mobile power user. The Latitude CPx is extremely well equipped, boasting a 650 MHz Pentium III processor with 256 MB of memory, a 12 GB hard drive (specially shock mounted to reduce the possibility of damage if dropped), and a 14.1-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.

Along with the basics, the unit comes with a 6x DVD drive in a hot-swappable bay. Other options include a 24x CD-ROM drive, a 4x CD-RW drive, a second (up to 18 GB) hard drive, a floppy disk drive, and a second battery. While you can swap out one of the drives (or the battery) from the bay to use the included floppy drive, you can also connect it externally through an included cable.

Other notable features include an S-video out port, in case you want to run a presentation to a VCR or TV monitor, and a pair of PC card slots (CardBus and Zoom Video support). It has one USB port and an SVGA out port. The battery is lithium ion, providing long-lasting life even on short charges.

While some newer notebook models have tried to incorporate the type of one-touch controls for starting programs that newer desktop keyboards now sport, Dell has pretty much left the Latitude's keyboard layout alone, with one exception. With this system you have three choices of pointing-device support--you can attach a standard mouse or tablet to the unit's rear serial or PS/2 ports, or you can use one of the two devices embedded in the keyboard and shelf.

The unit is relatively light in weight (6.74 pounds with battery and DVD-ROM drive installed) and well within the upper range of notebook computer size at 1.77 inches thick, 12.55 inches wide, and 9.94 inches deep.

4 out of 5 stars A very good start for anyone, but..........2006-08-12

Look dont let this price deceive you. You still need to keep in mind that this thing is integrated so you cant customize its hardware in any way(Dell and Gateway), so basically forget about high performance games since you cant change it graphics card. But I wont lie, for this price I wouldnt pass it up. It can still be a useful item to have. Just dont expect windows to come with this so you might be spending another 200 bucks for the os but I wouldnt use windows anyways just try Linux.

5 out of 5 stars Get a free Sony VAIO FJ instead!.......2006-08-09

Why settle for less, when you can get a brand new original colorful ultra-cool Sony VAIO FJ series laptop with 1GB RAM, 100GB disk, DVD writer, built-in webcam, etc. and all for Free! I got mine from this web site: bestfreeproducts.info/laptop

1 out of 5 stars Frustrating keyboard problem.......2002-02-23

I recently purchased this and found that 3 keyes were not working at all. Checking the posts on DellTalk I quickly realized that this is a widespread problem with the Latitude CPX and that there is no fix or recall. I will return it for a refund and purchase a laptop from a different manufacturer.

5 out of 5 stars Dell Latitude refurbished notebook computer........2002-02-06

The computer arrived in good shape in about 4 days. It was well packed, and the box and computer both contained a number of special items,e.g.,a handsome Dell carrying case,a double PC card slot with a modem card installed, an old fashioned mouse giving me a choice between the traditional notebook "mouse" and the mouse I am used to. Once I had set up the computer, I found a very helpful Dell Help book on the computer itself. .... I've been buying computers for 20 years, and I've never found such a good computer at such a low price. It exceeds my expectations. ....

                5 out of 5 stars For the money, it is very hard to beat........2007-04-22

                I've had this unit since December 2004. It is used about 15 hours a week.

                This is not an $800-1000 surround receiver, but it does many things very well. FOR THE PRICE it deserves 5 stars. 3.5 - 4 stars if not considering price.

                Paired with some fairly efficient speakers (Sony SS-MB350H's) and a good amplifieded sub-woofer in a home theater configuration the sound is very very good at a very inexpensive price.

                Bass is much tighter and defined (without the sub-woofer) than the older Panasonic surround reciver it replaced, especially in stereo mode.
                The FM section is as good as most receivers these days, which is to say not very good. The remote is complex and not terribly intuitive.
                A good programmable remote takes care of that problem.

                Does it match the sound from my Lexicon/Legacy/Adcom/VMPS system?

                Nope, but the recsiver and speakers cost less than 20% of the other system.

                Overall an impressive receiver for the price listed here.

                Pros: Very clean, detailed sound. Sufficient power. Very easy to set up IF you follow the instructions. Decodes very well. Sufficient inputs.
                Lots of flexibility, especially in surround settings (width, etc).

                Cons: Flimsy, counter intuitive remote. No front channel outputs.
                No good explanation of the different surround settings.

                2 out of 5 stars Way too complex and failure prone.......2005-11-29

                The unit I first took home had a blown channel. Exchanged it without any problem other than wasting half a day of my time. Then it worked fine for more than a year. Lately it started display F70 when I turn it on and I have to turn it on and off many times until it comes to life. Supposedly this is a blown internal fuse, though haven't verified yet. The point is, I have had two failures on two separate units in under 2 years. On top of that, I have never seen such a wildly complex user interface on a receiver. Adjusting the EQ is cleverly buried in the most obscure way. And setting up the unit will take most of a day. And the sound is not stellar, at least when I use my large 4 ohm main stereo speakers in conjunction with the satellites. Maybe a sub-woofer paired with satellites would be better? Not recommended.

                5 out of 5 stars Great Price, Nice Sound Quality, lots of inputs!.......2005-04-11

                Before buying a receiver I searched out all sorts of brands and price ranges like I do everytime I buy a product. Usually, I end up becoming enamored by the most expensive product and shell out the big bucks to have the best. However, I happened to be in Circuit City picking up a stylus or something and they happen to have a super sale on this receiver, so, on an impulse and because it was only $250 as I recall, I decided to give the receiver a try because it was pretty well reviewed.

                I have owned this received now for about 3 years now and I have never had incident with it. The sound quality is very clean even with the volume turned way up, there are plenty of digital inputs (I use all of them!), and it has plenty of power to rattle your intestines. For the money it really can't be beat, the unit looks nice and is solidly built. I still really can't believe what a great unit it is and the amount of features it offers for its price, it really could easily be sold for $600 or $700.

                The only things that aren't great about this unit are the remote control (just ok, buttons I never use have their markings coming off) and the setup of the unit is kind of awkward. Other than that, no complaints. I would definately recommend this unit to anyone and I would buy this receiver again without hesitation.

                4 out of 5 stars Good Receiver at a great price.......2003-09-25

                It's true, this receiver isn't the most powerful or certainly the easiest to use; however, it does do exactly what it advertises itself to do. And, that's a lot. It delivers reasonable 6.1 sound, and gives you a fairly pure sound that is quite distinct in its channeled effect.

                The best part of this receiver for me was that it allowed me to upgrade my Technics rack system without sacrificing any of the main components. Although the remote is cheesy, it matches my system perfectly in integration. For Technics fans, this is about as good a match you will get.

                Don't kid yourself. If your finishing out a dedicated room to your home theater, then be prepared to spend $1000 or more. But, if your home theater is the family room as it is now for us, then the sa-he200 is a great buy and allows you to enjoy 6.1.

                3 out of 5 stars Just say (maybe) to SA-HE200.......2003-07-08

                "F70" Same problem as the other reviewer. I have had this receiver for 9 months and now it is again dead. The F70 error means that an internal fuse has blown. It is not user replaceable and you must send off to repair center.

                Edit: Based on further info, I upgraded from 1 star to 3 stars. As it turns out, the fuse in question is a standard 2A/250V fast blow fuse available ... at RadioShack. Any local service place can replace it for you in about 3 mins. After warranty expires, electronics minded users can replace it themselves...
