E Series or M Series

Price regardles....I'm leaning on a 14.1" rig. Don't care about the video card on either.

Is the build/chassis the same on both machines or is the build quality on the Precision better.

Dunno but I tend to like the brushed black on the E series. Yet to see how the cover is on the M series...

 

They are same thing with different packaging.

 

Precision M has a better video card. Since you don't care, stick with the Latitude E.

 

Agree with the dragonball man. If you like the brushed metal back then go with the E

 

Wonder if they let you "downgrade" the looks if you get a Precision? ie. get the black latitude back with the Precision? I doubt they'd let you go the other way around though. Two purposes: It looks arguably better and if you wouldn't stand out of the crowd as much. Sure it's nice to show off, but I like my laptop to look as unassuming as possible. Less people want to steal a cheap notebook, or one that looks like it. Maybe an after market shopping spree at the Dell parts store?

 

Yes, since you don't care with the gfx card, go with the Latitude E. It even looks sleeker!

 

If you don't need a dedicated GPU then get the integrated Intel X4500. It seems to be very power efficient.

I have to look up the specs on the X4500. When I dock, I will be docking to dual 27" 1900x1200 Eizo displays.
