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

If you can wait until September or October then wait, if not I'd suggest looking to purchase another model...

 

I can buy them through my college, who told me that they expect to receive their orders around August 15.

The only thing that's turning me off is that I don't know if it has a pencil eraser tip in addition to the touch pad. From the pictures, I can't see one, but does that mean anything? Do all the other latitudes have pencil erasers?

 

I just ordered an E6500 through my college. Here are the specs

For $2129
Latitude E6500
15.4" WUXGA wide aspect screen
Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53 GHz) processor with 1066 MHz front side bus and 6 megabytes of L2 cache
4 gigabyte RAM, 2 DIMMS
160 gigabyte, 7200 RPM hard drive
256 megabyte NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M video
8X DVD multiburner
Intel 4965 wireless, 802.11a/g/n
90 watt AC adapter
9-cell battery
5.7 pounds
Microsoft VISTA Ultimate operating system

Keep in mind the price might be higher because my college is giving me the following items as well as a 4-year warranty plan:
Microsoft Office Profession 2007 Plus
Fellows Mighty 8 Surge Protector
25' Ethernet cable
6' notebook security cable
Mobile Edge Slip Suit

The E6400 specs are barely worse, and it is $1739.

 

Are you located in the US? What is the estimated ship date?

 

Yes, in the US.

 

what college?

 

is it already with montevina? and when they are going to ship it?

 

Actually, I'm surprised that they're still using the Quadro 140M. Shouldn't there be a newer version by now?

 

Wow that is really expensive. But I am sure that price can be dropped by a few hundred if you did not upgrade the ram to 4gb, downgrade the optical drive and processor. It will still be about $1300 probably which is still out of reach for most people.
