17. Conclusions
By MobilityGuru's standards Dell's Latitude X1 is an ultra lightweight laptop. Though it weighs only 2.5 pounds without its power supply and DVD/CD drive, the X1 is not excessively small. There is plenty of room for a good size keyboard. The laptop's 12.1" wide screen display is also large for such a light weight unit. With a 1.1 GHz Intel CPU and 400MHz memory the Latitude X1 performs as well as other computers in its class, sometimes including those with 1.2 GHz processors. Battery life is quite limited with the standard battery. For longer runs on a battery the standard battery should be replaced with Dell's 4800 mAh high capacity battery for the X1.
The Dell Latitude X1 is best for those who need to run standard office applications, browse the Internet and watch DVDs. It's not made for serious gaming or other graphics applications requiring high end computing and graphics power. For that the answer is a notebook computer designed for intense graphics applications such as Dell's MobilityGuru award winning Inspiron XPS Gen 2.
