"Dell's Latitude E-series roadmap revealed!!!!!!!!!"

OK stupid question for most of y'all I am sure.....What is going to be the main difference between the old E 15.4's and the New ones? I am debating on ordering one now or waiting. I am in no hurry for one, just want one soon! Thanks

 

I hope they give the 14.1" model a good graphics card and two well placed speakers as opposed to the one awful one that the D630 has.

 

What old E 15.4's. The current Lattitude series is D. If the leaked pics are accurate the new Lattitudes are completely different design wise.

Supposed to be new Centrino 2 based systems. Longer battery life and all the new gizmo's, from the new Intel platform. Some may have a new display connection technology that Dell is backing as well.

 

Here's another article with detailed specs comparing the new Latitude E4300 and E4200 with its D430 predecessor:

That's an impressive looking machine. Any specs on the replacement for the D630 yet? If it can match or exceed the performance of the Lenovo T61P I might just have to wait until it comes out to buy a new notebook.

 

Day 1 purchase for me.

I just hope they will have a tru-life option as I love the glossy screen. If not it's still a day 1 purchase.

 

Integrated graphics - bleh.

I hope Dell allow options. Seeing the LG P300 have a nice graphics card in a 13.3 form factor left me a little dissapointed at the announced specs.

 

Ok, I have two questions. For one, what do you guys think will be the price for the E6500 or E5500, for a decent setup. Also, I want to buy no later then mid July or like one week before August, do you think they will be released and able to buy by then, thanks.

 

Yes, in the USA anyway. According to the roadmap, they will be released in June:

They might be later in other countries.

 

According to the roadmap, the E6400, E6500, E5500 and E54000 should be release in JUNE!........and i think they will be released in the first week of june as the intel is releasing the Mont (next gen processor) between june 3rd and 7th at the "Computex" in Taipei.

Dam boy!..i cant wait!>..i want one!>.i just hope they are released on time as per the road map!... i have to buy a laptop by end of june!
