The minute you start using a Latitude you know that it’s a step up from Dell’s Inspiron range. That’s not to say that the Inspiron notebooks are not good, because most of them are, but the Latitude is designed to meet the needs of discerning professionals who crave quality, not just features. Let’s face it, with the Latitude range Dell is going after the Lenovo ThinkPad brand, and when it comes to quality, few will argue with the ThinkPad’s credentials. To Dell’s credit, the Latitude D630 does look and feel like a premium product, and I did receive a fair few comments and questions about it when I took it out in public.

The D630 is finished in Dell’s familiar matt silver and black colour scheme, and it looks pretty good. There’s a single, polished silver catch that secures the lid at its centre. Once the lid is opened you’re presented with a 14.1in widescreen display that’s both bright and vibrant. There’s no high-contrast glossy coating on the screen, but that’s not surprising for a business notebook. The screen sports a somewhat unusual resolution of 1,440 x 900, something that’s more common in Apple products than Windows based machines. That said, most notebooks with screens this size have a 1,280 x 800 resolution, so Dell is giving you a bit of extra desktop real estate, which is never a bad thing.

Below the screen is a seven row keyboard – mimicking one of the ThinkPad’s unique features. To be honest, it’s more of a 6.5 row keyboard, since the top row only stretches across half the width of the notebook. The keyboard isn’t quite up to ThinkPad standards, but then I’ve never found a competing notebook keyboard that is. That said, Dell has equipped the D630 with a very respectable keyboard – all the keys exhibit a decent amount of travel with a solid break. The Caps Lock, Shift, Return and Backspace keys are all large, as one would have hoped. But Dell has gone the extra mile by making sure that the Ctrl key is in the bottom left corner where it should be, while also making this key slightly larger to make it even easier to strike. The cursor keys are also dropped away from the main keyboard making them very easy to access.

Pointer manipulation is very well catered for. Nestling between the G, H and B keys is a blue trackpoint. I’m a big fan of trackpoints, since you don’t have to move your hands away from the keyboard when using them. There are two corresponding buttons below the Spacebar, which are easily accessible with either thumb. If you don’t like trackpoints, there is also a high quality touchpad with a widescreen aspect ratio to match the screen. The obligatory two selector buttons lie below the touchpad, but conspicuous by its absence is any form of scrolling area on the touchpad itself.

At the rear you’ll find the power socket, a D-SUB port, a serial port, two more USB 2.0 ports, a network port for the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller and a modem socket.
