The Dell Latitude E6420 XFR has a 14″ impact resistant LCD with Direct Vue for sunlight readability. This display is tested for impact resistance by dropping a 1′ steel ball 20 times on different locations. The Dell Latitude E6420 ATG has a 14″ touchscreen responsive display that is designed to work with gloves on. Both of these displays have special coatings for glare and reflection and allow for a higher brightness at a lower nit rating compared to the competition.

Dell Latitude E6420 XFR and ATG Ruggedness

One of the ways in which the E6420 XFR and ATG are able to deliver a fully rugged and semi rugged notebook experience is with the Dell BallisticArmor technology and components. Dell tells us that one of the key parts of this BallisticArmor is a composite polymer that offers high compression and allows these notebooks to spread the impact our across the device for added strength while keeping the weight manageable.
