Any information on next generation Haswell based Latitudes?

What are the chances of being able to get Latitude 14 7000 Series (Model E7440) with 8 GB of RAM anytime soon?

Or, better for me to buy the current model and replace RAM?

I don't have access to Dell Premier.

 

The 7440 has 2 DIMM slots, so just adding the RAM yourself would be much cheaper.

 

So the best the E7440 has to offer is an i7-4600U and HD 440 graphics. That's the same as Lenovo's T440s. Bah. I REALLY want dedicated graphics, or HD 5000 as a bare minimum.

 

You and me both.

 

Since the regular Dell site doesn't have the 7440 in i7-4600U, what would be the main difference between i5-4300U vs that?

Thanks, its the clock speed mainly. What kind of difference we would see in real world, non-gaming environment?

 

If you perform any CPU-intensive work like working with data, it will be noticeable. Some ultrabook CPUs can be painfully slow...

 

Anyone have any updated info on when 6440 configurations will become available?

Elsewhere in this thread the thinking was Sept 2013 but there's no sign of them.

I'm a Premier customer and can get "evaluation samples" but in limited configurations.

Just curious what the delay is since the 6540 has been available since July, I think.

 

Indeed, some things like finite elements usually scale very well with more cores too.
