Dell Outlet: Mislabeled E6400's?

Or are they E6500's?

I've been perusing through the inventory and specifically filtered by E6400.

Sure enough, in the grid, all's right. E6400, 14.1" screen...seems consistent.

But then I click on the details and I see something like this:

Code:

Latitude E6400
(System Identifier: 09VFH2JJ)

    * Latitude E6500 Laptop: Intel Core 2 Duo P9600 (2.66GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
    * Genuine Windows XP Pro with Vista Business License

Here's another:

Code:

Latitude E6400
(System Identifier: 09AMYY68)

    * Latitude E6500 Laptop: Intel Core 2 Duo P9600 (2.66GHz, 6M L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
    * Genuine Windows XP Pro with Vista Business License

This isn't only on one system, but on multiple listings under E6400. So what gives? Is it an E6400 or an E6500

 

It's going to be an E6400 if it says it's an E6400. Even when you buy a new machine (or at least according to some early purchasers) they list some parts as being for the E6500 probably because the two do share similar or identical components. I wouldn't worry about not getting an E6400, and in the minute chance you don't, you can just call Dell and demand the proper machine.

 

Thanks for the reassurance

I'm going to give it a shot and see how the dice land.

 

I'm curious as well. A lot of the machines with specs that fit me had this "typo", so naturally that limited my selection. I might call Dell tomorrow and verify just to be sure.

 

I am actually not so sure about that. I would trust the actual description more than the classifier in the sorting list. There are way too many mistakes made by people who put the inventory in, IME.
