E Port Plus Replicator

Hello, new owner of E6400 and loving it so far. Thanks for all the great info here.

There are apparently 2 models of the E Port Plus Replicators; model YP021 and model YP126. Does anybody know what the difference between the 2 are besides the prices (the YP126 is much more expensive)? Are they both compatible with all E Series Latitudes?

 

I don't know is the short answer. I do know that there are 2 E-Ports though - one being more expensive than the other. The more expensive one has PS2 sockets and more DVI ports etc. And they are both compatible with the E series and also the M6400. The more expensive one is part number YP021, but I have no idea what the YP26 is - I can't find a link from Dell for that one.


<update>

The YP126 appears to be on the US sites and is priced in $, the other is priced in £ - might that be the price diffrence that you are seeing?

 

Yes, both are compatible with the E series.

It stinks that the e port plus with the 210w is 3-5weeks, I wanted to nab that, the ultrasharp monitor/docking station stand and a 2407wfp.

 

My 130W with the ePort Plus runs warm but not hot. I don't have my battery attached and am using dual monitors. I don't know why you would need a larger power supply.

 

Thanks guys. I found an e port plus replicator here for $69 + shipping. Note that the power adapter is not included but still a pretty good deal.

 

Should that work with the M6400???

 

why does it have two display ports though? Can it run two monitors?

 

Very good deal, been waiting for some 3rd party retailers to carry them.

Yes.

Thats the point . I'm running two monitors on my regular E Port.

 

Does anyone know how many USB ports there actually are for the E-Port and the E-Port plus? In the technical specs., it seems that there are only 2 USB ports? Is that really the case (seems so few)? I have read on some reviews that, at least for the E-Port plus, there are 3 additional USB ports on the side, bringing the total to 5 USB ports. Is that the same for the E-Port?


I intend to plug in quite a few items, including (1) USB for wireless keyboard; (2) USB for wireless mouse; (3) USB for printer; (4) USB for monitor; and (5) USB for external harddrive. If the E-Port (not the plus, since I don't need the legacy ports) only has 2 USB ports, then it seems kinda pointless to get it, since I would have to plug in the rest of the peripherals to the laptop itself?

Am I missing something here? Thanks!

p.s. This question relates to E6400 or E6500, which I think is what I will end up getting [though the Studio XPS16 was mightly tempting as well)....
