Dell Latitude X1

Specs

• Intel Pentium-M: 1.1GHz
• Intel 915GMS chipset
• Intel GMA 900 video
• Intel ICH6 / HDA / AC97 audio with Sigmatel codec
• 12“ TFT LCD @ 1280×768
• RAM DDR2-400 SO-DIMM
  • 256MB (onboard), expansion up to 1280MB (256 onboard + 1024MB module)
• 1.8” PATA HDD
• USB (x2), Firewire, Gigabit ethernet

Good Points

• Very small - barely bigger than the tiny Thinkpad 240 series
• Decent quality keyboard - not a chiclet type
• Plenty of CPU power for even the most demanding DOS games ever
• Supports USB floppy drives natively - both to boot and access within DOS
• Built in ethernet and wifi
• Completely fanless
• Emulated Soundblaster digital audio, Yamaha FM and soft MIDI synth in VSBHDA
• Emulated Soundblaster digital audio, Yamaha FM in SBEMU

Bad Points

• No built-in removeable storage
• BIOS is almost completely locked down, virtually nothing to configure
• No native Soundblaster capability
• Wifi card supports up to 'G' only - though can be replaced
• Widescreen - not ideal for 4:3 / 5:4 DOS games
• The Intel GMA video is not the fastest - some earlier AGP designs are faster; though it's still more than enough speed for even hi-res DOS games
• The internal HDD is an odd 1.8“ drive - cannot be easily swapped with a newer 2.5” drive; requires a 1.8“ to (something) converter board
• Mono internal speaker

• Broadcom gigabit NIC - No native DOS packet driver is available, but the B57.COM ODI shim does work and MTCP can use it. See https://packetdriversdos.net/
• Trackpad - No USB driver available, but Cutemouse can detect it. All versions (v19, 20, 21) seem to work. See https://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/
• Memory - Use UMBPCI with the /I=D000-DFFF to access the unused adapter ROM region and get more UMB space. See https://www.uwe-sieber.de/umbpci_e.html
• Audio - Use VSBHDA to get excellent quality emulated Soundblaster and FM support, as well as software synth MIDI. See https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/VSBHDA
