E6440 Owners Thread

Oh weird... I must be going blind or something, I see that the i7-4810MQ does have that feature.

 

Hi guys, where i can buy a IPS panel? i have the 1600x900 one, i'm happy with that res so would be great to keep the same res but IPS or VA, i can't life with this TN angles

 

You can't integrate the 1080p IPS panels into that laptop. The 1600x900 versions have a LVDS interface. Only laptops natively delivered with 1080p have the eDP interface on the motherboard.

Unfortunately nobody has tested, at least yet, whether you can do a 1440p panel on the eDP interface, although I suspect it will work. But your older-revision E6440 with the LVDS is limited to the 1600x900 panel.

 

Thanks for reply, i don't need more resolution, i wonder if can i buy just a 1600x900 IPS or VA panel

 

Have at it with this tool:

Appears to be no IPS or VA (ie: non-TN) panels available with LVDS in the 14" form factor:

(adjust the TN / IPS / VA setting, and you'll see there's 39 TN panels that would work, but 0 IPS, and 0 VA)

 

Does the E6440 have any parts of the casing using non-slip soft touch plastics?

 

The palm-rest surface definitely uses a rubberized material.

 

Any word from Dell on a BIOS update that resolves the AMT/VPro security vulnerability?

 

Are you talking about this? If so, looks like it should be available in just a couple more days.

 

Yup. Thanks for the link. That's what I was looking for, but the first version of that document I was able to find didn't reference the E6440 for some reason.
