E6530 owners thread

Not only that, when you choose, try to get with microphone array (two of theme in 4cm distance) and they generate very clear signal, and are able to filter noise.

 

Ex E6400 owner, now with an XPS 14 Ultrabook but hating the keyboard... Reasons why I should change it for an E6430 please?

Go on guys, try and convince me...

 

Thank you, Chris!

 

Is that code for you still want an answer? And to what? A 6430 or 6530? If the latter, my answer is subjective. I like the keyboard very much. I didn't expect to like it. Bought both the 6510 and 6530, prefer the latter's keyboard but the former's system; but then, the 6510 is i7-quad, with FHD and it rocks.

The 6530 feels good to my incessantly-typing fingers. I like its chiclet clicks, the rubberized hand rest, the placement of the keys, the dedicated keypad. But would you? Compared to an XPS I've never tried? Who knows?

 

Thanks let me pose another question. Why did you guys chose a Latitude over an UltraBook like the XPS?

 

Hello,

do you have any information about if the Dell E6530 (i5-3210M, 4gb, 500gb, iHD4000, Full HD) has mSata SSD slot or not?

Best Regards,
Mark

 

Cowboy...if the 900p e6430u was around when I got my E6520, I would have taken it instead...

The keyboard was one of the reasons I got my lattitude, that and standard 5 year warranty...

 

So is it 100% confirmed that mSATA SSD's do not work on the Dell Latitude E6530? If so, that's a bummer. mSATA SSD works for their same-gen Vostro line (at least the 3460, but the caveat is you cannot boot from it so you have to use some kinda boot loader) so not sure why their "higher-end" Latitude doesn't support it. Heck, dunno why Dell is blocking mSATA in the first place at all.

 

Anyone?

Also, which screen do you guys recommend?

 

Regarding mSATA support, I just spotted this driver update, which says it's for a LITEONIT LMT-128M6M MSATA 128GB drive:

Driver Details | Dell US

Searching for LITEONIT LMT-128M6M MSATA 128GB returns results for what definitely appears to be an mSATa drive. Does that mean they're supported now?
