Dell Latitude computers are also built with durable casing and internal metal frames; many offer hard drive protection systems in case the computer is dropped or suffers a severe impact. Strike Zone is a feature on several Dell Latitude notebooks that cushion and protect the HDD in case of impact.
The Latitude D620 weighs 4.7 lb, and the base model includes a 1.67 GHz Intel Core Duo T2300 processor (667 MHz front-side-bus) and 2 MB (2 MB) of L2 cache. There is an option to upgrade to a Core 2 Duo T7X00 processor (667 MHz font-side-bus) with 4 MB of L2 cache. It comes standard with 512 MB of DDR2 RAM, expandable to 4 GB (4 GB), and four USB ports. For graphics, it offers the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator x3100, and an option to upgrade to NVIDIA discrete graphics at the expense of lower battery life.
The Latitude series also include a number of specialty models. The D430 is a 3.0 lb ultra-portable notebook. The Latitude ATG is a highly-toughened version of the D630, and is Dell's only semi-rugged offering, while their fully-rugged offering consists of the XFR. The Latitude XT is a touch-screen convertible-tablet computer. These models still maintain high compatibility with the rest of the Latitude family.
The Latitude C-series notebooks covered the range of processors from the Pentium 166 MHz to the Pentium 4-M. Models in this series included the CP (Pentium processors), CPi (Pentium II processors), CPx, C600 and C800 (Mobile Pentium III processors), CPt, C500 and C510 (Celeron processors), C400, C610 and C810 (Pentium 3-M processors) and C640 and C840 (Mobile Pentium 4M).
C series laptops were notable for their consistent and interchangeable accessories across this wide range of processors. The series was one of the first to offer the UXGA 1600x1200 resolution display and included a NVidia GeForce MX400 32 MB video accelerator to complement the display requirements. A robust design made it a favorite in harsher climates; however, this design lacked the visual appeal of many of its competitors.
The most popular of the C-series included the C800, C810, C840, and later the C640.
An interesting note on the C840 is that it was the last Dell notebook (along with its sister models the Inspiron 8200 and Precision M50) to have both a "fixed" optical drive as well as a modular bay, making it a "three-spindle" notebook. The modular bay could also be used for a second battery identical to the primary battery rather than a special modular bay battery. It used a Pentium 4M processor and DDR SDRAM.

The batteries on any of these computers purchased between April 2004 and July 18, 2006 were supposed to be removed and the computers run on AC power until replacements arrived.
Problematic Sony batteries led to battery recall programs at other laptop companies, including Hitachi
, Toshiba
, Lenovo (IBM)
and Apple
