Latitude E4310 Laptop 2011

The Latitude product palette by Dell includes a whole series of different model groups, all designed for professional use. On offer are diverse formats, beginning with the 10 inch Netbook, up to the high performance 15 inch platform. Approximately in the middle of this series lies the Latitude E4310, which essentially represents the fusion between performance and mobility with its 13 inch display. Especially "management and frequent travelers" should be keen on this notebook, at least according to an advertising slogan on the Dell homepage.

The included features such as a speedy Intel Core i5 CPU, and comprehensive communication options, as well as several security features, have to be paid for: from 1249 Euros excluding VAT and postage and packing, although this does include three years of on-site service on the following work day.

In the following text we present a short test, which came about with the help of the Technology Camp by Dell in London. As soon as a test device is available to us, we will provide the usual comprehensive test in addition.

Case & Design

From the perspective of the case, the Latitude E4310 is most closely related to the E6xxx series, with high quality materials and a strictly straight line design. It has not only inherited the combination of silver and black Aluminium-Magnesium components, but also their outstanding stability.

The attractive notebook practically did not warp significantly in any areas of the case. Also when handling the device, there was no noticeable bending or squeaking of any kind to be observed.
At first glance the contact for the closing mechanism made a good impression. The two massive metal hinges hold the display firmly in position, without even a trace of teetering. The maximum opening angle is about 170°, which should cover almost any usage scenario likely to be encountered in practical use

Celeb Watch... The Quiff

Quiffs are back on the A-list’s radar. Everyone from Kristen Stewart, who has gone for a nonchalant quiff to suit her style, to Scarlett Johansson, with her sleek version, are getting in on the action. A quiff screams effortless cool and is surprisingly easy to achieve. Celebrity hair stylist Adam Reed advises “if your hair is fine, crimp the root area - this adds great padding. Only do this on the top section temple to temple, then to the crown and pull the rest of the hair back. If it is short use Shu Uemura’s Frame Wax, £21.50 (lookfantastic.com), back comb the root area and gently pull back; secure in place with a blast of L’Oreal Professional’s Tecni Art Air Fix, £8.90 (feelunique.com). If the hair is long secure it using a grip; I love Muji grips as they hold really securely”.

"Mad Men's" Emmy Nominated Christina Hendricks

Christina Hendricks who plays the sexy and ultra curvy Joan Holloway on AMC's smash show "Mad Men" - for which she received an Emmy nomination this morning - revealed in the latest issue of the L.A. Times magazine that her famed red hairstyle isn't natural.

In fact, Hendricks says that she started dying her blonde locks red at the ripe old age of 10 and that it was because she was obsessed with the book "Anne of Green Gables," the heroine of which has red hair. "My mother said 'Let's go to the drugstore and get one of those cover-the gray rinses," recalls the 35 year-old whom Esquire dubbed the Sexiest Woman Alive. "My hair was very blonde at the time, but it went carrot red and I was over the moon" she tells the magazine. And, she's kept it ever since because she felt like an "imposter" as a blonde. 

As for her flawless strawberries and cream complexion, Hendricks recently told Redbook magazine that "I took my skin for granted when I was younger. Now I'm much more vigilant. Living in L.A., just driving around, I'm getting sun and I freckle easily. I use Dermalogica sunscreen." The Idaho native also splurges on Creme de la Mer. "It's an extreme treat!" she says. "My dry skin just soaks it up."
Hendricks, who has three movies slated for release in the coming year, also reveals that wearing the corsets and other form-enhancing garments common in the 1950s - the era during which "Mad Men" is set, is less than comfortable. "Those undergarments really aren't made for relaxing," the newlywed says in the LA Magazine interview. "If I get my entire costume on and I have to wait a few hours for my next scene, I have to learn how to position myself, otherwise the boning presses into my guts!
They may hurt. but her va-va-voom look and impeccable acting have earned her legions of fans -- including the designers at Mattel who are poised to release a Joan Holloway Barbie doll. "It's amazing," Hendricks gushes. "I am such a girlie girl - such a Barbie girl. Am I weird if I want to give a

Dos and Don'ts of First Date Dressing

If unsure of what to wear on an important date it is worth noting that the majority of men like fitted clothes which show off the figure and ladylike (or girlie) dresses and skirts. The stylish sheath dress is a winner as it suits all figures and can be glammed-up with a colorful bag, jewelry and heels. A simple soft sweater teamed with a sassy swing skirt or fitted jeans can also work its charms.

Women's Fashions that Men Hate

Many men are not fans of on-trend outfits like harem pants, all-in-ones and intimidating gladiator sandals. Until a woman gets to know her prospective partner and his clothing tastes she should be play safe in the wardrobe department.

Says Danielle Lineker, (wife of Footballer Gary Linker,) in the Daily Mail's fashion feature "Danielle Lineker" of June 10, 2010, Gary “is a typical man. He loves it when I wear classic things like beautiful dresses or fitted clothes that show off my figure. But he’s not a fan of high fashion pieces such as harem pants, and tells me I look like a mechanic in my khaki all-in-one playsuit!”

When deciding what to wear on a first date, consider these fashion guidelines:
